Stevie Wonder – Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours

< BACK Subscribe Now Subscriber Login

'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours’ is a classic Stevie Wonder track, recorded on the Motown label back in 1970. It reached the top spot on the US R&B chart when released and continues to be enormously popular. This track features Motown bassist Bob Babbitt, who worked alongside James Jamerson at the label. Bob’s bassline on the song fits the piece perfectly, playing a supportive role throughout. There are some challenging fills to get your fingers around however, making this a great line to study.
