Music Trivia!

[Hightop77]

This artist was in studio with Stevie Wonder and came up with a drum beat that Stevie Wonder improvised an entire song over that later became a big hit for Stevie.
Stevie did give the artist the right to release the song himself with his new band which he did a few months after but it did not chart.  Actually I'm not sure if it was released as a single or just on their album.
Who was the artist, the song, and his new band?
By the way the artist is not known as a drummer.

Jeff Beck, Superstition.

Jeff Beck Group?

Excellent. 2 out of 3. The lineup was originally called The Jeff Beck Group(third iteration?) but became more pared down.

Superstition was a favorite of mine at that time.  Kind of a unique sound.  Little Stevie was really in a groove there for a few years.

Talking Book through Hotter Than July through the 70s was a tour de force. Stevie has more talent in his little fingernail clippings than just about all the musical acts of this century combined.  He played all the instruments on that except the horns. Just wrote it out over the beat on the fly. 
Any guess on the band? One studio album. They would play "Shotgun" live as well like the band the drummer and bassist had been with.

I'll give it some thought but probably a level above my knowledge.  It is fun to learn the connections some of these groups have in terms of personnel that you would never expect.  Good musicians are good musicians.

Power trio. Although they would do Shotgun I don't think they incorporated You Keep Me Hanging On in their live performances.

Did the above through my phone and messed it up. Push it back to the start and see Beck use a talk box years before Frampton comes alive. Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice from Vanilla Fudge and Cactus. Beck Bogert and Appice is the group. Kicking some butt IMO.
HT is up.

I think I learned about Beck and Superstition in this very thread a year or so back.  I think.

Uh oh did I repeat one? I've been on MT threads for at least a decade since the first NH and Northpolebuck's MT thread. Some ground is probably going to covered twice at some point.

I’m not 100% sure where I heard it, but I’m betting it was in this thread.  Anyway, I’m quite sure I’ve repeated myself a few times by now.  I figure some of it is new to somebody, so oh well.

Some interesting things I came across. Superstition was supposed to be a song for Beck but Stevie released it first for a number one because Gordy said it would be a huge hit. Stevie then wrote another tune and gave it to Beck. Called "Cause we've Ended as Lovers" . Beck did an instrumental jazz version on his great album Blow by Blow. 

The guitar Beck used on the track, a Telecaster with Gibson hum buckers, he called Syreeta after Stevie's wife.
