NVT: Mariah's Backstage Interview at Outside Concert.

Stevie 'Desert' Interview - 1989

Listening To 'Talking Book', "You are the Sunshine of My Life", starts the album off and has a classic Motown Stevie Wonder feel.

Stevie

Well it was a pivotal time. When we were recording many of these tracks, it was right before... and right after my contract was signed and I was able to release "Music of My Mind". So a little bit of the music still has the feel of my sound in the late 60s.

Stevie

Well this is where I practice my driving. I love driving my pickup and there aren't too many people around to mess up the fun.

Oliblog

So why are we doing an interview out in the desert.

Oliblog

Well Stevie, I just saw something slithering over there, so I'm gonna close this interview after this question.

If you were on a road trip from this West Coast desert, to Detroit, Are listening to Thriller and Off The Wall or Purple Rain and 1999?

Stevie

Wow! Let me rephrase the question so I can give you an answer. If I were going to Detroit from here, I'd listen to Michael, because that's where I met him. If I were going to Minneapolis, I'd listen to Prince.

Oliblog

Well Thank you Stevie for your time. We have to do it again under different circumstances and location.
