A British musician has been telling the remarkable story of how Stevie Wonder ended up playing an uncredited harmonica solo on his band’s single back in 1984.
Writing in The Guardian, Nick Murphy, the drummer in Leicester-based ‘80s funk outfit Feelabeelia, says that the unlikely guest spot came about after Wonder’s manager had called - not to say ‘I love you’, but to announce that the star had to do some recording work while he was on tour in the UK. Signed to Warner Bros on Quincy Jones’ label Qwest Records, Feelabeelia were holed-up in a Surrey studio at the time, and word came through that Wonder was requesting to use it.
