Found some video footage (no audio) of a Malcolm Jamal Warner show I went to in June 2005. I forgot that I had this memento. The show was a whole vibe.

Stevie Wonder was on stage about 45min. He sang "Creepin'," "Perfect Angel," and "If It's Magic," telling stories in between. (I didn't know Minnie was in the studio when he recorded "Magic"!)

Here's a bit of "Perfect Angel" and him getting the underenthusiastic crowd together like a pro!!

Appropriately, she next sang "Give Me Time" which she covered beautifully on her album Love The Woman. And of course, they let her handle singing the forever favorite, "Lovin' You."

Sorry I abandoned the thread earlier but I couldn't watch AND document while Chante was singing. She delivered "Stay In Love" so elegantly (with her sequined body suit shining!)

After doing a beautiful instrumental rendition of Minnie's "Alone on Brewster Bay," he treats the crowd to his own hit "Breezin'."
