"You Haven't Done Nothin'" is a 1974 funk single by Stevie Wonder featuring background vocals from The Jackson 5, taken from the album Fulfillingness' First Finale. The politically aware song became Wonder's fourth number-one pop hit, his tenth number one soul hit, and was one of his angriest political statements, aimed squarely at former President Richard Nixon. The Jackson Five sing the words: "DOO DA WOP!!" repeatedly, in the Chorus, when Wonder sings: "Jackson Five, Sing along with me". (Source: "Billboard Book of Number One Hits" By Joel Whitburn.) This song also features a thick clavinet track and an early appearance of the drum machine. The B-side of this single was "Big Brother", also a political statement from his earlier album Talking Book.
