RECORDING DATE
“Fingertips” is a 1963 hit single recorded live by “Little” Stevie Wonder for Motown’s then Tamla label. Written and composed by Wonder’s mentors, Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby, “Fingertips” was originally a jazz instrumental recorded for Wonder’s first studio album, The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie. The live version of the song was recorded in 1963 during a Motortown Revue performance at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois. Containing only a few stanzas of improvised lyrics, “Fingertips” is essentially an instrumental piece, meant to showcase Wonder’s talents on the bongos and the harmonica.
The song was recorded with The Jackson 5 in 1969-1974. Remains unreleased.
