- Sorry folks...unfortunatly i found no video of this song.
"the Crown" is one of these Songs, I searched for Years - hope you enjoy it like i do. Wish you all the best for 2008 ! - Hudba
1983, I was 18.... used to rock this one on the radio back home, Brazil. I could only understand the chorus 😂. Man, those were great times. Love to everyone who appreciates good music ❤
Eu com 15 em uma periferia da capital federal, saía pra frente de casa com meu rádio-toca fitas aiko sempre que o locutor anunciava essa música pra ouvir no volume máximo.
Eu tinha 15 anos
never soul ,funk and rnb was big in Brazil
this era of music is especially important to me because this was the era of your wonderful 1982 World Cup of Eder Zico ,Socrates,Falcao ,Juniour and as an 11year boy they gave me such thrills by their enchanting awe inspiring performance in that World Cup
and this music these master gems like like the crown were being created alongside groups like new jersey connection, Dayton, De train ,slave ,kinky fox ,Oliver cheatham, salsoul ocrarastra so many more amazing acts they produced the icreadible sound tracks when that World Cup team thrilled me as a little boy in england
peace
Work of genius. Rap/Hip Hop has lost its soul now. Sad, very sad. But this track is a celebration of all things good. Keep playing it. Never loose your soul.
World class song
This songs sends chills all over my body. I was in my teens when this song was released.
How fast time flies. But thank God I had the opportunity to enjoy good music.
So old school so nostalgic so goooood ! And stewie's appearance in the song is priceless!! A treasure GOLD... THIS MAN WAS GOLD..Thank you Stewie!!!
IS gold!
@@seilanemsei Yes he still is GOLD.God has deprived him of the sight but gave him a wonderful voice and talent!! WOW...And he gave him a golden heart too!!
Stevie Wonder boys and girls is the man who should wear the crown.
Yeah absolutely! Stewie was a genius and so talented as a blind singer and pianist.He was the king! He really should have worn the crown.
@@frenchieseverine4514 He was no he IS! Don't talk about him in the past. He is alive and kicking 😁
STEVIE WONDER is the man who WILL ALWAYS wear the CROWN!!!!!
@@seilanemsei Sorry yes he is A GOD A KING OF MUSIC AND OF HEART..
Je l'es encore ce 45 de 83 dans le coffre de ma voiture. Lol !!! Ca faisait un bail que je l'avais pas écouté ce son de 83. Comment il s'balade Stevie Wonder avec sa magnifique voix entre 3 minutes 8 et 4 minutes. Magnifique,sublime !!! Que du bonheur !!! Du pur bonheur ce son de 83
This song can cure depression in 7.02 minutes. I've seen it. And depression is the hardest disease to beat.
i feel your pain bro
Rip to my godfather Bobby Gilbert I still miss him he was the one who got me into this great song I thinks of him when I play this song now
This is my teacher i first person to bring me into a radio station in 1969, always a great mentor to many here in nyc where he is a radio legend love this man for his helping so many in the music industry, and radio, a truth teller just listen you will learn, peace.
Gary Byrd + GB Experience...I loved this in 83'...reminds me of working on the chain gang in Bulmers, Hereford...thank the lord it was holiday work then off to college! Happy ol' days!
Just pure joy and love for this track! Have at it!
I have album in my basement I remember when I bought it in Detroit in 1983 at Chauncey's Records on Six mile. I was 14 yrs old. I still play it to this day a very inspirational and over looked song. This younger generation should hear this then maybe so many lives could be saved without all of the senseless killings. They should post the original long version. That has the message
Awesome tune ! The days when you could go clubbing without DRAMA ! Great songs like this make me remember what I saw as the good times. When Stevie sings......... goosebumps.
Garry byrd is the man 🙏
The Good Old days!...
cheers found it again by accident.........................ii remember it very well now..
got the 12inch lol wot a classic! if only our kids wud giv it a listen!
The longest song ever. In that year. Love this
Pay attention to the lyrics....and that was back in '83!
Never gets old this song
Still rocking it in 2022 ♡
Wonderful this song i remeber my teenager time.
One of best early historical songs made about us
One of the best Songs ever !!! Thanks colabeu for sharing
Absolute classic. One of my all time faves. About time it was on CZcams !! Many,many thanks for posting this wonderful track.
I love this song
Pipu Damu you have taste
Some tunes just deserve to be long.. a very young teena marie on backing vocals.. ah yeah..
In the days when rap could be intelligent, enlightening, exciting and funky.
My oh my.....this song by is going waaaaaay back...oh the memories...how rap has changed today for the worst :-((
Youre right....nowadays its cRAP 🤣
Pure class
Love this song classic
Motown goes rap? they did in 1983 & it blew up big time too, what a fabulous record Co written by Stevie Wonder & Gary Byrd who sing & rap on this mega hit of a track, also has Teena Marie & Syreeta Wright on backing vocals, retelling the story of the coming of modern civilisation, paying homage to the Alkebus, the Romans, the ancient Greeks, Neffertiti,Tutankhamun, the Sphinx, Cleopatra, Alex Haley, Roots, Muhammad Ali, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Louis, Malcolm x, a history class but in a rap format
This was actually him being ahead of the pro black movement in hip hop. The closest song to this was 5 or 6 years later by KRS1 doing "You must Learn (live from the Caucus Mountains remix)." Never about Motown. He was always positive and this was his "crown" song on his radio station in LA, KJLH... Kindness, Joy, Love and Happiness.
Jesus is Lord Amen
What a tune!
The back up singers on this record are Stevie's Wonder Love Girls and Shatima Byrd. Teena Marie was NOT backup on this song. This is from the source.
OMG!! I never thought that I would hear this song again! No need for a video, the song says it all!!!
tremendous song..i remember when it came out in 83...brilliant
pure class it does not get much better than this
Superbe musique cela rappelle les bonnes époques des années 80
Só eu sei a quanto tempo eu queria ouvir novamente essa música, ainda mais com a participação do grande STEVIE WONDER... obrigado.
Composed by Stevie Wonder, this one of the best pieces of music ever made, very ear candy indeed. I'm surprised Stevie doesn't perform this with Gary Byrd , Stevie was certainly in his hotep phase in the early 80s. Gary now has an Egyptian name I think
This is legendary, so easy is this!
I've been looking for this for years, but I forgot the name - thanks.....lots of memories here....
@AUTORECOVERYUK I wholeheartedly agree with you. The 80's were the best for music!!! When rap didn't always have to glorify murder or slackness. Love this song, haven't heard it for years!!!
Not on Spotify ... Incredible.
It is now 👍
Excelente música
In other words, I am saying that the lyrics are both awesome and profound. I am and have been a huge fan of Imhotep Gary Byrd for the past 26 years.
It was in the year before my graduation from gigh school that the song was being played at clubs. Just recently it came to my mind again. It makes me happy to listen to it. Thanks for your research
We were probably around the same age 👍
Still got this on 12" vinyl.....along with loads of other tunes from this era...great times...never to be re-lived again i'm afraid...not with all the so called music we have to put with these days !!!!
Used to av this on 12" Loaned it to someone & never ever got it bk. The story dat never been told ✊🏾
What a record... been on You Tube all morning and have been downloading my youth... wow what a lot of great stuff and memories... I miss the 80´s
Happy 70th Stevie. This was your song that actually a few years ahead of one the greatest hip hop cats in KRS 1. You and Gary taught history and in 2020, big love.
Temaso me canse de buscarlo..hace 37años que no lo escucho hoy se me ocurrio tararearlo en gogle y aparecieron varias opciones asta que para mi sorpresa di con el ...
Craig Charles brought me here . All that was great about the 80s
Craig played this on Radio 2 show??? Good Man.
Toute mon enfance,gros coup de nostalgie là dessus ❤️le temps passe tellement vite...😔
Hélas oui trop vite..pff j'étais plus insouciante pas de loyer a payer pas de factures pas de soucis de toutes sortes.;c'est la vie..le temps passe trop vite.J'avais 11 ans quand ce tube est sorti..lol!
How splendid to hear this again. Seriously joyous just in time for Dr. King's 2010 birthday! YESSS!
What a tune ,blast from my past love it ❤️
I've heard of Gary Byrd, but I've never heard this before. 😊
'83. Just started high school in Southwest Detroit. Sooooo many great memories. Straight classic 🥰
I don't know why...had this song playing in my head during my five days last travel in NY. Awesome song !
The whole song is killer, but I love that bass!
Best song ever
The intro❤❤
What the funk?!?!?! I LOVE ANYTHING WITH STEVIE'S SIGNATURE!!!!
Funky music!!!

How far does this track to ya back eh ?Lmao ....Huge ghetto blasters,loads of battery`s and chrome tapes with this track on them lol !Luvin it large !!!MaxsoundCarAudio Uk
Stevie did TDK Tv ads
this song was huge summer of 1983, when i was 12 and my family spent summer in ireland and the UK. best music ever. the radio was so good over there i hated coming back to the states.
une des meilleure music de tout les temps qui continue à me faire rêver
Absolutely!!!! ♡
Now this is serious old-skool rap!!!
Legend
Now this is a quality rap song and listen he aint shot any one stabbed any one done a drive by killing sold drugs or slapped his bitch up like all the modern rappers have to do. This is when rap music had a happy feel good angle to it in the best years for music the 80's. Great years great fun great music and i miss them so bad. Thanks for posting this. RIP Michael Jackson.
Sensacional!!! Bons tempos.....
Sim!!!! ♡
absolutely great... thank you for posting... much love to you and yours xxx
Damn I been looking for this for almost 20 years.
Me recordo dessa canção ainda muito jovem era demais pra época
conheço essa musicas a mais de 20 anos, me lembro como se fosse hoje uma quebrada na programação, o locutor anuncia uma exclusividade de stiver wonder & gary bird... prepAREI MINHA FITA CASSETE e pronto para ouvir durante varios finais de semana... e detalhe dessa versão que cabei de ouvir é que faltou a parte acapella...valeu!!!!
Just as FRESH as when it was released in '83. Glad I still have the 12 inch. Aside from Gary and Stevie, don't forget about Lady T leading the chorus. Priceless.
"you may have seen Raiders of the lost Ark but you still left the theatre in the dark"
lol
What a song.What lyrics,hunted high and low for the this on wax 10 years ago.
Thanks for posting.Kids today havent even heard this!
Thanks as a retired teacher I wish I had this for my classes many years ago. Imhotep should be given title of Educator/Entertainer of the year for his GBE radio talk showed his efforts to enlighten the world. We must reach the youth where they are! Hook their ears and we can hook their brains and replace the miseducation they have received!
I wish I'd taken this class
I bought the 12 inch of this in 1983....One of the best Rapp singles of all time. It reached No.6 for 3 weeks in the UK! :)
i could listen to stevie singing it all day
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS SONG. THE WORDS ARE SO TRUE. i'M SO PROUD TO SAY WE ALL WEAR THE CROWN.... GET DOWN!

Wow, great song. I knew that Gary Byrd helped Stevie write " Village Ghetto Land" and "Black Man" from Songs in the Key of Life but I never knew he had his own song. Will have to download this one
