Did you know that Stevie Wonder did the original version of this song?

How many notable rock bands are there where each member recorded at least one solo album? So far I've come up with:

The Beatles
The Who
The Rolling Stones (unless Brian Jones disqualifies them, but he did do the soundtrack to A Degree of Murder)
Cream
KISS
Genesis
The Eagles

How many notable rock bands are there where each member recorded at least one solo album?

LOVE that Stevie version of "Until You Come Back To Me". I feel like I talked about it somewhere on the board not long ago. I like it better than Aretha's, because I think the subtlety works better

Anyone heard I Was Made To Love Her from the Jimi Hendrix 'BBC Sessions' album? Drums are played by none other than Stevie Wonder.
Killer tune!

Steely Dan
ELP
Pink Floyd

Just went and checked it out.

It's putrid IMO. Good example of how Hendrix ruined rock music. On a 0 to 10 scale Stevie's hit version is a 7, this version is a 2 at best. Overblown drivel IMO.

Two guys is a duo.

A group requires three or more members IMO.

Maybe so, but Steely Dan was also primarily a duo.

He was in a few other bands who had albums since CCR broke up, but never a solo album.

It's funny, but the two best things that Stevie ever wrote IMO are "It's A Shame" by the Spinners and "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus. For me, nothing that he ever did himself is near as good as those two records.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMqk9iDnTxo[/youtube] Here's what Diane had to say when I sent her the link. I don't think it would work as an instrumental even if, you know, King Curtis and Earl Hooker were playing it. The lyrics and the joyous way Stevie Wonder sang them were a major part of the record's appeal. Not really a big dance record, I don't think. That said, it sounds like a fairly typical Hendrix performance to me. As they say, "If you like that kind of thing, then this is the kind of thing you'll like."
