This was posted over at World of Harmonica (Facebook group) but I thought I would post it here. Just too good not to.

I'm copying the comment I've posted on Facebook a couple of days ago about this video

"For believers : if you want to hear what they play in heaven, please listen to this...For the others like me, just listen and cry on the beauty of what human beings are capable of."

Lovely stuff, i have always loved Stings stuff ( his brother Phill is my next door neighbour so i may get to meet up with him some day!) Phill's a pretty damn good blues harp player and we sometimes play together so i'm quietly hoping i might get asked round one day and find his brothers there playing some guitar!----Which would be nice! and Stevie Wonder, well the guy's just a God ai'nt he and what a funny and nice bloke as well, i saw him on telly a while back being interviewed and just thought he was the nicest funniest most natural guy which is amazing when you think how young he was when he got famous.
Being blind and dependent on others has probably kept him grounded i expect.

I wonder if Phill's been an influence on Sting using SO much harp in his tunes.

I really dig everything about this piece. Stevie's playing is definitely a motivator to keep practicing & studying!

Looks like Stevie's playing a Suzuki Sirius 64.

WHat a coincident! I've been listening this track for the last couple of weeks from Sting's album. What an inspiration to hear Stevie's playing...

Thank you so very much for posting this. I'm sure I wouldn't have heard it otherwise. So deeply moving. It simply stirs the soul.

nice... can only imagine getting Stevie wonder to play and sing one of your own tunes.

at 2:05 is that a tongue trill?
