As an avid Stevie Wonder fan, and an owner of the actual vinyl of Songs in the Key of Life (the album the song is from) I already knew this. And have had to educate people myself on this plenty of times.

Thank you tho, for educating people on the origins of a great song and that it came from an even greater song

I thought this was common knowledge. But I was raised in a household where Songs In the Key of Life was played a lot by my mother. Any song off that album and also Gangstas Paradise bring back memories of cleaning house and the smell of Pine Sol.

Coolio did a great live gangsta's/pastime paradise mix with stevie wonder it's worth checking out

Just discovered your channel. Subbed. No hesitation!

[myastuartyepicandothat]

[mylesmikieal]

[drasweet]

[emily-clark]

I knew this, for sure! Having a Mamma who Loves Stevie Wonder so, of course, I knew!

[kermitwilliams]

Yes indeed nice 1... I already knew about this sample.

[imacrackheadyearsago]

Anyone noticed that every time, in the background is the singer?

[TheMemeTime]

Fun fact: Stevie said he would only let coolio release the song if it had no profanity

(And yes there is a version with it lost somewhere)

[theone]

Stevie Wonders doesn’t have a beat but his singing is what makes pastime paradise sound good
I like Gangsta’s Paradise they have a sick beat and the vocals in the background.

Curtain Falls by Blue also used or sounds alike the sample of the strings. Stevie Wonder had to be credited in that song.
