Hi.
Welcome to my blog.
I bet you've heard this song before or at least the title rings a bell from somewhere. And yes, you're right, this is a cover of the original Stevie Wonder song. The thing is, it's done in such a unique and special way that you vaguely manage to associate it with the original version.
Today I found by the grace of God this musician and this video. I don't know much about Jon but through the little I have seen and heard today I could notice two undeniable things, the connection that exists between him and his piano and the personal stamp that his work carries. Making a version unique in style is definitely not an easy task to achieve, and he did it.

Hola.
Bienvenidos a mi blog.
Seguro que ya has escuchado esta canci贸n o al menos el t铆tulo te suena de alg煤n sitio. Y s铆, tienes raz贸n, se trata de una versi贸n de la canci贸n original de Stevie Wonder. El caso es que est谩 hecha de una forma tan 煤nica y especial que vagamente consigues asociarla con la versi贸n original.
Hoy he encontrado por la gracia de Dios este m煤sico y este v铆deo. No conozco mucho a Jon pero por lo poco que he visto y escuchado hoy he podido notar dos cosas innegables, la conexi贸n que existe entre 茅l y su piano y el sello personal que lleva su obra. Hacer una versi贸n 煤nica en su estilo definitivamente no es una tarea f谩cil de lograr, y 茅l lo logr贸.
