"Don’t You Worry ’Bout A Thing"

Sorry, couldn't fit Stevie Wonder's name in the subject line.

I know that there's a pretty good size edit needed in that song to create the 45 version (about a one minute chunk)--hopefully there aren't mix issues or anything like that. But I've only heard the edit twice, so I'm not exactly sure at which point to edit. Anybody know exactly? Thanks!

Sure.

Is it two edits, or one edit (from roughly (2:09) to (2:54)) and an earlier fade? That's what it sounded like to me in the dub that Ed sent me.

Thanks, Ed. Fades never were my specialty. :)

From the dub that Ed sent me, I do believe you're right about that. It almost sounds like the word "yeah" that Wonder sings right at that edit point starts with the letter "W". I couldn't quite nail that down.

Before my oldies station got Jacked, I had heard them play an edited version of "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" a couple of times (including once when I requested it myself, so I could listen for the edit point). Little did I know that the version they played wasn't the single (prolly from TM Century, although I don't know that for sure).
