You don't need me to tell you that Stevie Wonder is a genius. And a Stevie Wonder song performed by Sergio Mendes is a match made in heaven - and that's what you get with The Real Thing - just a great tune. So great, in fact, that Mateo & Matos plundered it not once, but twice - using a killer riff as the base of In The Mood following their more straight forward vocal house cover.
Sergio Mendes - The Real Thing - Sergio Mendes & The New Brazil '77 - 1977
Mateo & Matos - In The Mood - New York Rhythms Volume Two - 1998
Mateo & Matos - The Real Thing - The Many Shades Of... - 1999
