He's Misstra Know-It-All

About He's Misstra Know-It-All

The song takes the form of a mellow ballad with a steady beat, principally a solo performance with Wonder providing lead vocal, background vocal, piano, drums, handclaps and congas. Ethereal flute-like sounds are provided by his TONTO modular synthesiser. Willie Weeks, on electric bass, is the only other musician. Towards the end of the end of the song the mood changes, to a stronger feel, more strident singing and with hand-claps emphasising the beat and half-beat. .
