This is my favorite Stevie Wonder song. I'm a bassist and the bass playing coming from Nathan Watts is nothing short of inspirational. Your drumming is always spot-on with every song that you choose.
If this song doesn't want to make you sing along and feel happy inside, you've got no soul! Thank you Miss Sina for bringing back such a cheerful song that we never knew we were missing. Impeccable on the drums as always! Have a Blessed Easter everyone!
Happy Easter to you too Greg.
@@knownassimonr1470 Thank you Simon. That goes for your family as well.
Tone deff and the accent // but my feet keep poking out the covers..
Sina, I just LOVE your ”touch”! I’ve told you before; the way you PLAY the drums rather than whack the living daylights out of them. It becomes so very obvious in this clip, where you make your drums talk for you, with you, rather than combating them as though they were your enemies. You make them all come together in concerted harmony with a touch that is as beautifully youthful and feminine as yourself. You have the sensitivity of a classical concerto pianist playing Chopin when you play the drums, it’s a real pleasure to listen to. Thanks!
No Major Write-Up Again, Just Another Rosanna Mini Version
THE SONG - "Sir Duke" was written and performed by American musician Stevie Wonder. It appears as the fifth track on side one of Wonder's 18th album 'Songs in the Key of Life', which was a double album. Recording of the album took place between 1974 to 1976 mostly at Hollywood's Crystal Sound Studio. There were also sessions recorded at the Record Plant in LA, the Record Plant in Sausalito, and The Hit Factory in New York. The final mix was done at Crystal Sound.
'Songs in the Key of Life' was released on Sept 28, 1976. "Sir Duke" was released as a single in Mar 1977. It was the third of five singles from the album. Earlier singles were "I Wish" (Dec 1976) and "Isn't She Lovely (Feb 1977 - internationally but not released as a single in the US). "Sir Duke" was followed by "Another Star" (Aug 1977) and "As" (Oct 1977).
'Songs in the Key of Life' was a major hit reaching #1 on the Billboard 200. It was also #1 in Canada and the Netherlands, #2 in the UK and top 10 in New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. In Austria it reached #15 and in Germany #23. "Sir Duke", surpassed the commercial success of "I Wish". It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (spending three weeks at the top starting on May 21) and the R&B chart (for one week, starting on May 28).
The song's title refers to the late jazz bandleader Duke Ellington who had been a major influence on Wonder. It's a tribute not only to Ellington but to music and the musicians who create it. In the lyrics, Wonder also mentions [Count] Basie, [Glenn] Miller, "Satchmo" (Louis Armstrong), and Ella [Fitzgerald].
FUN FACT - The lead guitarist on this track is Michael Sembello who had a major hit with the song "Maniac" from the soundtrack of the movie Flashdance. Sembello worked with Stevie Wonder previously on 'Fulfillingness' First Finale'. He plays on most of the tracks on 'Songs in the Key of Life' and co-wrote the song "Saturn" with Wonder.
If you haven't heard (and I'm told it's no secret), Sina auditioned on Monday for the Jazz and Pop course at ArtEZ in Anheim. She was required to learn a jazz solo and improvise and she also had to play a Snare Etude. Needless to say, she passed the audition! Congratulations!
Take a look at Sina's subscriber count - 891k. Remember when everyone was so jazzed at 100k? 1M seemed like a loooong way off! It's comin'!
We just had our Maundy Thursday supper. For those of you observing Easter, have a peaceful, safe and virus free Holy Week. See you guys again in seven!
thank you for another really nice write up, for you and your family, have a safe and great Easter
Thanks so much for everything, Rosanna, have a lovely Easter weekend with your family!!
You're always most welcome Sina! I know you've been working hard and I'm sure you and your dad have been stressed out with all of the things going on. I hope you're able to get some peace and quiet this weekend! Cheers!
Hi Lonnie and Tris. Yeah, this Holy Week is quite challenging particularly figuring out what dishes we can make with what we have at hand. Are any of the Germans here observing Gründonnerstag for Maundy Thursday? It's something we "inherited" from a high school classmate several years ago whose mom was half German. They invited me for lunch and had green soup made from spinach and other greens. Luckily we had a can of spinach (Popeye didn't get to it!) and tonight we made a spicy spinach dish!
Juliet and Ro - thanks so much! Hoping you and yours have a peaceful Easter. Nice write-up! It's a kick to see that tie-in to Flashdance. I really appreciate your efforts. Thanks again and, take care.
Just watching and listening to you play puts me in a better mood Sina. Stevie does help a little bit too. Great Cover. Love you Sina!
Stevie helps a little bit, too? HA! The dude was AWESOME!
This was my very first drum lesson ever. I was given the dots to play. I’d had 8 years piano training and could sight read very well by this time. I still love this tune. Superb job Sina - as always.
Love watching your vids Sina!!
I try to follow the coordination of hand and foot movements and realise how talented you are to make it look so natural!
Keep up the great work
Bravo, and thank you for your love of music young lady
So great! One of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs.
Ah yes, back to my high school days! Love it Sina! We used to play this in jazz band. I was a tenor saxophone player!
Thank you for keeping the videos coming. They are a bright spot during some very strange times.
Nothing better than Sina to put a smile on your face during our isolation here in the USA!
I just love how one can always tell when you are really getting into a song. Great job as always
Love this cover, great job as usual.
You bring joy and a smile to me with all your great drumming on the best of classic rock. Thank you, Sina!.
Amazing how good a man that had never even seen drums could play! Excellent job Sina! A lot of my drum heroes are dead, you have made this 70's rocker feel alive again! Keep up the good work!
Grew up listening to this song and it's one of my favs from Stevie. Great cover of it, Sina! You're awesome!
Thanks for brightening my day once again, you always put a smile on this old man's face.
One of my all-time favorites!!!! Thanks for covering Sir Duke!
I’ve watched all of your covers , and this is probably my favorite so far! The song is awesome, but just the groove you’re in! It’s just cool to watch. Thanks Sina ❤️
Awesome, such a joy filled song, can tell you love playing this one by one of the great composers of songs made for joy and love, at this needed time - Stevie Wonder. Thank you Sina.
Thank you for something light and energetic. It's exactly what we need in the current climate! Happy Easter to you and yours. 🐰😊
Love this little human drummiracle. Sina doesn't drum, she ís drums! In this sad coronatimes, she exhales pure happiness.
@Cletus Jonson After 8 months this silly question........
One good thing about having to work from home: "It's noon on Thursday! Time to see what Sina has on tap this week!" And I am never disappointed. 88 views as of 12:15 Eastern U.S. time (UTC-4).

You are awesome! And you made my day with this one - it has always been one of my favs! Thanks!!! I am smiling ear to ear!!!
excellent song by Stevie wonder, always hitting the songs I like, thanks for another good music Friday :)
That was a great cover of a great classic. Most cannot do it justice, but you certainly can Sina. Thank you!
You always present a lot of variety, which showcases your versatility. It also brings a more broad-based appreciation of different music for your audience. You are a true ambassador & advocate of music for the World.
AWESOME. LOVE THIS SONG.
You nailed it as always Sina! Great song and great drumming! Never Stop!
Still love that smile of satisfaction when you, that you know you nailed it perfectly, Sina! Great job!
Though I'm an absolutely Hard Rock guy, this song has always been on my playlist just for the fun of it. And again, this song did its special magic on me that makes me whistle, tap and smile to the rhythm. I needed FIVE views, just to be able to concentrate on your drumming. I love all these fills and your right hand hi-hat rhythm. I appreciate this song now more than ever! TY
this turned out really great, Stevie Wonder was born in the city I work in, Saginaw Michigan, when he was a young child, he moved to Detroit Michigan, which is about 120 miles or about 194 kilometers, from Saginaw Michigan. a lot of the area, around, the house he lived in, in Saginaw is now vacant lots, what was once a very populated area, is now vacant. Thank you fore everything you do Sina.
I'm from Flint, cheers!
@@AlwaysAudacity cool, the home town of another great band, by the name of Grand funk Railroad
@@lonnierichter6962 "We're An American Band", "Shinin' On", "Rock & Roll Soul" - that's MUSIC!!!! Rockin' greetings from Germany!!!
@@stefanwohlke7502 yes, they were quite the band, they are the only band, to sell out, Shea stadium, in New York, faster than the Beatles
I never get tired of watching you do what you do so well. Beat those skins!
Yup, indeed, another ear to ear grin generated by your Friday post. Thank you Sina!!!
Klasse! Ihr Schlagezugspiel ist wunderbar betont und Stevie Wonder trägt wirklich zur guten Laune bei. Vielen Dank und frohe Ostern!
I’ve always liked your free form type of drumming. You look so relaxed and just having a blast. Great work.
Sina you are a bright beacon of hope and your drumming is so focused look at those little circles
This has always been a fun, up beat song. Listening to you playing drums with it lift my spirit. Appreciate the different angles showing you play. You have a great talent. Did I see a big smile at the end.
SUPERB - love all those AMAZING fills :) ! Take care and God bless !!!
I love this song! Thank you Sina! Have a great weekend! 🤗💞🥁
I love that little smile at the end of so many songs. Subtle, just a flash of joy.
Great job Sina. You're right about feeling better, that song brings back a lot of pleasant memories. Congrats on the ArtEZ audition, I love the Netherlands. Everyone stay safe and healthy! All the best from Canada.
It is an admiration to see the incomparable practice that Sina has, it is amazing what she does through the drums, I really like her way of synchronization, the taste for music that she has, it is fascinating what she does.
Love it! Between Sir Duke and Superstition, they are my favorite Stevie Wonder songs. Sounds so much better with the drums more emphasized! Just watching you work that high hat is mesmerizing!!
One of the best things about Friday? A new release from Sina. Many thanks!
A real oldie and goldie. Thank you Sina for this happy tune
Sina,you're the number one.
Absolutely Brilliant. I haven't heard this in a long while and had forgotten how good it is. Stevie Wonder was always on the radio when I was growing up.💖💖💖
This is very cool haha I've recently been playing this song on the drums and seeing this drum cover helps me a lot haha thanks sina.
You're right, Stevie Wonder had the ability to lift peoples spirits with his music. And this is an excellent drum cover of a Great song! Thank You for sharing!
Has not had ...
Stevie Wonder would be so proud. I grew up on his music. Magnificent! Thank you, Sina.
That was such a great, fun song to hear this morning. Of course the impeccable drumming from the new ArtEZ student. I know you can drum to anything but thought I saw a special liking of the jazzier stuff when you shared those videos. You are going to have so much fun and learn many new tricks, I'm sure. As for the quad of extras this week. Still blown away that you played with Brian May. And the newbies Feng & Talita (to us anyway) are an amazing find, again, from you. Of course Lucy and her solid guitar play show you are always cooking up something great for us. So thankful for the special person you are. Wash those special hands so the surprises never cease. Many be safe blessings to you and yours.
Sina you rock and you do a very good job on the drums your buddy ben Brown from Cincinnati ohio
OMG! That was awesome! One of the best Stevie Wonder songs.
Congratulations Sina - both for being accepted on the course, and for swingin' with Sir Duke!
Good music, a happy sound and great drumming is the best for a long weekend, thank you, Sina have nice Eastern.
They really need to have a heart response in addition to the thumbs up! I LOVE this song!! Thank you, Sina!!
One of my favorite singer songwriters, one of my favorite songs and absolutely my favorite drummer ever! What more can anyone stuck at home want? Thank you SUPER ⭐️
What an awesome drum cover of this Stevie Wonder alltime classic from his blockbuster album "Songs From The Key Of Live"!!!! Happy easter to everyone!!!
Great Stevie, beautiful presentation Sina, bringing us joy and comfort in these times of calamity in the world, congratulations Sina admire you very much.
;-)
Hey Sina! I'm glad that you're doing well!❤ Your awesome!
Thanks for entertaining us with your great drumming!🎶🎶
Brilliant! Such a happy feeling to this tune by the great Steve - and it signifies and amplifies the elemental and basic love of music! And the rhythm and accents of the beats are such an intricate part to making this funky tune come to live and stand out! Sina accomplishes this smoothly and elegantly - it is a joy to listen to!!
So nice to see you smiling again while you play! I've missed that.
I used to love that song as a kid, still brings me joy! Thank you Sina, I feel like a kid all over again!
New music from you Miss Sina always improves my mood! Congratulations on your acceptance to the jazz/pop school. Never any doubt about that. Hope you and all the family have a wonderful weekend! 😁🤘💕😎
Fantastic song and a Great cover Sina its just musical joy!!
Hi Sina, I think Stevie Wonder is an amazing musician how someone that's totally blind can be such a brilliant musician and song writer another one comes to mind Ray Charles both amazing. Your cover is amazing whether or not you did it before doesn't matter I could see you were enjoying yourself and you sounded great. Yes such unusual times I hope you and your family have an excellent Easter celebrate the best way you can Thank you Sina for always being there for us and your nice replies on patreon and your hearts on youtube it's my absolute pleasure to support you,
Great job on this SW cover. Congratulations on your audition! The sky is the limit for you Sina. Happy Easter to everyone.🐰🐰🐰
Well that was a great way to start the day, thank you very much. Hope you and yours are well, good luck everyone ✌️&♥️
Swinging and rocking together, a happy, uplifting combination,
maybe just the right thing these days !
Many thanks for this wonderful cover !
Happy Easter ...
My dad was a jazz drummer for almost 50 years, he would have loved listening to Sina, be it jazz or any other type of music. She is just a great drummer and can play what ever she wishes to play. Also Congrats on becoming the new ArtEZ student.
I gotta say... I feel better just watching your videos Sina! You really have mastered the drums, and I count you among the greatest drummers I've seen!!!
At the risk of revealing my age, I bought this single on a 45 when I was a teenager. Awesome drumming as always!
Yes, SINA is reviving the old days. What wonderful music was written and recorded back then can only be dreamed of today. Such classics no longer exist today. It was probably because access to the music was then more difficult than today. Nevertheless, it is wonderful that SINA is bringing this music back to us, recorded professionally as always, thank you for the cover and thank you to everyone involved.
💖💖💖💖😍👍🥇
Ja, SINA lässt die alten Zeiten wiederaufleben. Welch wunderbare Musik damals geschrieben und aufgenommen wurde, davon kann man heute nur noch träumen. Solche Klassiker gibt es heute überhaupt nicht mehr. Es lag wohl doch daran, dass der Zugriff auf die Musik damals schwerer war als heute. Trotzdem ist es wunderschön, dass SINA uns diese Musik wieder nahebringt, professionell wie immer eingespielt, vielen Dank für das Cover und vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten. 💖💖💖💖😍👍🥇
Muy bien!
As usual, set tuned perfectly for the vibe and super tight. Very well done.
Oh yeah sina wonder this makes you feel happy with everything going on a breathe of fresh air thank you 😁😁😁😁
Fantastic !! Miss SINA !! You are the Best Drummer !! Greetings from México !!
Siena is the best drummer of all time everything she does is amazing
All time? Uhhh....no.
Groovy!!! As soon as I saw the song title, I clicked on the vid immediately!!! This is song is real catchy!!! And you played according to the song, simple fills and steady... Keep on the good work always, Sina...👏👏👏🌸🌈
Technically probably not the most difficult song to drum I guess, yet you see the joy. Also liked the 4-split edit at the end. It fitted with the song.
You know it is going to be a good day when you can start the day with Sina, thanks Sina...
Never been a huge stevie wonder fan but have always liked this one that he did. As always you nailed it. Have a good Good Friday and Easter.
Sina-Drums.........making quarantine tolerable. Thank You
Sir Duke, Superstition and my favorite "I just called to say I love You" are great songs from one of the true masters, Stevie Wonder. Once again Sina did not disappoint. Keep up the great music.
I have been hearing this song for decades and never knew it was called "Sir Duke" I would have guessed "you can feel it all over" ... lol ... I like the way you mix up the genres, keep living the dream !!
You seem happier since you become a master at what you play. In other words, you don't worry about technique. You know it. Motor/muscle skills. You are like paddling a canoe with your eyes closed feeling the wind. You know when to paddle left or right by the wind in your face. It's been great watching you become a great humble drummer over the years. Your light smiles bring spiritual happiness to your viewers. Why? We see the wind in your face and you know what to do to happily continued forward.
WOW!
great comment ... 👏🏻👏🏻... 👍🏻👍🏻... !!!!
I literally hate the people who give you thumbs down. I look forward to every new thing you do.
Don't do that....they ain't worth the bile.
You can't count on much these days but you can always count on Sina!! thank you I hope you're all safe and doing well
You're absolutely right Sina, Stevie Wonder will never not put a smile on anyone's face. Love the groove in this one, amazing!
Excellent Sina!
Songs in the Key of Life has never gone out of date.
Nope....never.
2020 has been full of lots of negativity so far.....the one positive is Sina Doering in her office behind the drums.....thats one step forward for us all.....😇
Gran trabajo Sina. Cada semana más guapa Sina.
You got that right Sina, definitely a tune to pick you up, especially with you on drums.
Way to go Sina! Great uplifting choice of song in this sad time. Love the sound of your drums, makes it seem like I'm watching and listening to you live in my home. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Sina's right in the groove, and I feel it all over! I love that double note on the snare at the end of each intro and bridge. The lightning-fast rolls down the toms are very tasty too -- check out around 3:30 for some sweet fills.
You are awsome Sina, favorite percussionist. Lol congrats on Anheim and jazz gig. Cant believe how many subs u r up to. God bless you and whole family. 🙏 thanks bud
Your right sina, I feel better, thank you for brilliantly covering Stevie.... Stay safe....
