Jeff Beck took a Stevie Wonder song, "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers", and handed its melody to his guitar on Blow by Blow, the 1975 Epic album that was the first to carry his name alone. With the power trio Beck, Bogert & Appice finished by the spring of 1974, he set out to make a record with no singing on it at all, and he brought in George Martin as producer, sold by what Martin had done on the Mahavishnu Orchestra's Apocalypse.
The album was cut in October 1974, with Denim Bridges engineering this track. Wonder holds the writing credit on his own, words and music, but on Blow by Blow the words stay unsung and Beck's guitar does all the talking.
