- Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder with the Dixie Hummingbirds performing "Loves Me Like A Rock" from the Paul Simon & Friends DVD released by Shout! Factory.
Paul Simon. Stevie Wonder. The Dixie Hummingbirds. It doesn't get any more Blessed than this. Amen. I sang this song at my Dear Mother's Homegoing Service.
My favourite Grammy moment was in 1976, when Paul Simon won the Grammy for Best Album with Still Crazy After All These Years. The two years prior (and the following year, too) to his win, Stevie Wonder had taken the honor (for Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs In the Key of Life), so when Simon took the stage, amongst his thanks, he jokingly added, "I'd like to thank Stevie Wonder, who didn't release an album this year."
Haha great anecdote. Stevie's early 70's run will never be matched. Unreal what that man achieved.
Fabulous. The Dixie Hummingbirds have been going to 80 years. Fantastic. They made this song great.
This reminds me of when my son (born in 1970) came to me when Paul Simon's song "Loves me like a rock" came on the radio.
He was just 3 and started sing it to me.
Oh, my mama loves me, she loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
Tell your Children; these are Two of America's best 20th Century Songwriters!
Americas best talent in music ever. Paul Simon & Stevie Wonder. It'll never get better.
To Esperanza243: "The Rock" reference is a religious symbol for a strong unmoving,unchanging thing in the midst of turmoil, like God's love or a rock in the ocean. The song "Rock of Ages, cleft for me" uses the same reference. So if someone "loves you like a rock" it's an unchanging, undying love.
This is such a great song. I love hearing it every time
That feeling when you write a song so great and it is being performed by the finest musicians of your generation in major venue, and you have to look humble :-|...
you talk like he is not one of the finest musicians of his generation. 13 Grammy wins and who knows how many nominations I would think anyone would be thrilled to be onstage with Paul Simon.
I love the video !! I love Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder, but I think they would agree with me, the biggest legend on this stage is Ira Tucker, who left home to join the Dixie Hummingbirds in 1938 at the age of 13, His mother cried so he wasn't going to go, but she told him go and better yourself. He's a gospel legend who sung with the Dixie Hummingbirds for 70 years, he has a fantastic voice, as good as any you will hear, and he was around way before rock and roll and R&B, and influenced and paved the way for many many artist to come in all genres, not just gospel.
That was alright fellas! Whoo! Love me like a rock my mama. Love 💘 God bless.
A great rendition of this classic song...the Dixie Hummingbirds still sound awesome!
Wow, just look at this. 3 of the best in the world in their crafts: Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and my fav of all, Steve Gadd on drums. Just wow!!!!
Man o man!!! I knew the Dixie Hummingbirds and Paul Simon did this. But I just love it with Stevie Wonder being added in there. This is so refreshing. Thanks for posting this ray of sunshine.
Lovely, lovely song. Awesome collaboration from all these fine gentlemen. This song tends to stick to my head for days.
A M A Z I N G!!
The talent on that stage! Stevie is my favourite.
Same here
What a voice! Gives me goosebumps!!
FANTASTIC!!!! Man, these guys are my angels - the way they have made the world a happier place. THANK YOU. I LOVE CZcams!!!! Peace out.
Just enjoy the performance of two (okay - 10) musical legends! Paul participates and then sits back just like the proud papa of one of MANY hits that we've lived, loved - and died - to! I'm sure both Paul and Stevie would be honored to perform at Hillary's inauguration!
you moron...dont you mean the dons inauguration you silly twit
@@danielbrown7301 Nope. Don't (and didn't) think they would be too honored to perform at that event! And wow - didn't think I'd be called names for complimenting a few legendary artists, but - have at it!
He the legend, just stands there for the rest of the song watching the stars and adoring them. How moving this is.👏👏❤❤❤
It is wonder-full that Paul Simon has so many friends.
Amazing Paul Simon Song. Stevie brings a lot of energy too it!
Wish I was there in person, a classic that I keep watching!
What a wonderful duel. The appearance that surrounds Stevie's piano is funny.
Who taught you how to drive Stevie Wonder?
That bass singer! 🗣🌟
Look at Paul he is a rock god..and Steve ❤,,actually the whole crew Is God…
Beautiful! Is all I can describe this.
❤How much fun is that ❣️what a hootenanny 🎉
Singing this in show choir I get Stevie's solo. This video just made me 10x more excited to sing it!!
This is a great performance and I also give mega props to anyone who can quote from the great WKRP in Cincinnatti!
This is the America I love.
who do ya think your foolin!!!!!!!!! WOW, fantastic!!!!!!!!
I first heard this song by the original singers, the Dixie Hummingbirds. Then I would hear Paul Simon's version which was incredible. If you're going to cover a song, do it right! And that he did. Now in my golden years, forty years later, I'm blessed to hear this version. Magnifique! Oh,yea: check out the O'Jay's version in the movie, "The Fighting Temptations"...they ROCK! !
Actually, Paul Simon did the original, he wrote the the music and lyrics to "Loves Me like a Rock" (in 1972). It appears on Paul Simon's Grammy winning Album "There Goes Ryhmin' Simon". The Dixie Hummingbirds both provided AWESOME backup vocals on the original AND won a 1974 Grammy of their own (Best Soul Gospel Performance) for their cover version.
John Mierzwa WOW, I learned something new today. I stand corrected, thank you, John!!
I thank you for recommending the o jays . . . I had heard it long ago, but totally forgot about it! I als
o highly suggest spending some time in the gospel tent at Nola jazzfest if you happen to make the trip. It's truly inspirational and mind bending, a great thing for your spirit and soul.
Paul wrote the song and recorded it first, with the Dixie Hummingbirds doing the background vocals. They later recorded it and released it as a single.
John Mierzwa Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Please put that version on your playlist, it truly deserves to be played and you'll have another version to compare it to!
Love this, thanks.
daaaaamnnnn goooood love it!!!!
Stevie Wonder kicks ass
Great song...great singing.
joy & cheers - with this version
I live in the patagonian and now, i want to be betwen those whom God gave as beatifull voices as birds have. I love them, only love..................
i see now them, wooooooo
STEVIE.... the KING!!!
I used to sing this to my mom,it made her smile.I miss her much
Goose bumps.
When I was a little boy
And the Devil would call my name
I'd say "now who do
Who do you think you're fooling?"
I'm a consecrated boy
Singer in a Sunday choir
My mama loves, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
She loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And she loves me
When I was grown to be a man
And the Devil would call my name
I'd say "now who do
Who do you think you're fooling?"
I'm a consummated man
I can snatch a little purity
My mama loves me, she loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
She loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And she loves me
If I was President
And the Congress call my name
I'd say "who do
Who do you think you're fooling?"
I've got the Presidential Seal
I'm up on the Presidential Podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She gets down on her knees and hugs me
And she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And she loves me
She loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me
Wonderful!!

Superbe Merci Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!
You got that right themaninme just amazing
I don't think Paul Simon has ever looked or sounded whiter, bless 'im.
Yes
He's leaning into white and also leaning into amazing. I'll allow it :)
First two albums, English Major poetry white.
😄, but Paul Simon is White Done Right! He wrote this soulful song.
Stevie and the Dixie Hummingbirds just took it to the next level. Thanks to you all.
He’s the best part
Right on!
I love this so much
Incredible Soul....
Yay! The best of America!
Wow, powerful.
The song is partially about Nixon-how no matter how bad he was as an adult he could still try to acquit himself with “but my momma loves me”. So apt that Stevie is singing as he has a couple of songs in scathing criticism of Nixon himself, such as You Haven’t Done Nothing.
The fact that there are so views speaks volumes
Just when you get disheartened with the US and the politics - you see this vast pure talent pool on stage, including Steve Gadd on drums Yo!
j'aime ce genre musical
Soul presidential music
CLASSIC HIP!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVE STEVIE!!!!
Lovely put down sir, couldnt have worded it better myself.
Muy agradable ver a Mr Paul Simon tan alegre con sus amigos cantando su canción
i bet stevie would have done a brilliant cover back in the 70's. its great now but id love to hear him at his peak doing this
Has Stevie peaked yet ? Did I miss something here ?
lol wtf. did you not just hear the man sing? he was fucking perfect
@@mackhomie6 Watch your language. Church folk in the house.
He was going as strong as ever here
@@mackhomie6 its a bit stiff and under rehearsed. the band is dialling it in.
Thank you
Brilliant.
She loves you JMM!!!
amen
Yes!!!!! sing 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
The Dixie Hummingbirds were awesome on this on the original "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" and then in we have Stevie Wonder.
Paul Simon always said he wrote songs his voice couldn't handle and I guess this is one of them. Funny he is the only one who can still hit those high notes though . . . !
Aw Paul Simon is such a smol bean
Very cool.
Stevie ftw.
@MEGintheIcebox Actually, The Dixie Hummingbirds are the original composers. I still love Paul Simon's version!
Hermosísimo !!!!!!
Great performance but I hate when video has the aspect changed to get the fullest picture for the new tvs. Please keep at original aspect and don't crop either!
***Happy Mother's Day, Mom***
Love those american voices.
you mean african voices?
Ira Tucker is the father of Lynda Laurence who took Cindy Birdsong's place in the Supremes for a couple of years in the early 70s.
💚
Paul,Stay in your lane.But we love you.Gospel ain't your thing buddy.
Gospel is something he's profrssed to love forever, and theres the smsll detail that st it's his song.
Edit: it seems i may. Be wrong about who did the song first. What i will say, however, is tjat Stevie wonder killed.
Plays over the credits of Zathura
hes amazing i know
love you like a tock
Whats not in this video is that this was a re-start ...the microphone was in the wrong spot for Stevie and the timing was thrown ... so they re did it 😇
YEP!!!!.).
Mom is Watching, From above us all.
Wow, that was great! Is that Harper at 3:17?
Please release the whole show in HD on iTunes-Film for download-purchase.
When you share something to your black friends to play with ....happens every time.
When I talk 'bout dentitions I don't normally usually speak it out of my arse!
Stevie Wonder sounds like a tall guy dancing
