Fingertips Part II
"Fingertips" is a 1963 #1 (3 weeks in August) hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. This Stevie's first hit single is written and composed by his mentors, Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby.
Fingertips" is essentially an instrumental piece, meant to showcase Wonder's talents on the bongos and the harmonica. The live version of "Fingertips" was released in May 1963 as a two-part single, with Part 2 as the B-side. By August, the single B-side had reached the top of both the Billboard Pop Singles and R&B Singles charts.
(Both the studio and live versions of the song featured drumming by future Motown star Marvin Gaye.)
