Clap Your Hands
When he was 13 and I was 12,
he sang “Clap your hands
just a little bit louder,”
and I followed his playful commands.
We out there in TV land thrilled to the sound
of his superb, inimitable harmonica playing
on the wildly popular “Ed Sullivan Show.”
Stevie had us gyrating and swaying.
At the time, I didn’t know “Fingertips”
was a Billboard number 1 hit
or that Little Stevie had been deemed a child prodigy.
I just knew his music made me move; I couldn’t sit!
