He didn't play all the parts.

I had heard that back in the 90’s when I lived in the ATL area and I thought I heard him say on Rick Beato interview that he did everything, at least on the first album (even the Yeah! through a toilet paper tube ).

Stevie Wonder played all of the instruments on a few of his classic 70s albums.

There's a bunch. Besides the ones previously mentioned, add:
Todd Rundgren
Dan Fogelberg
Ian Anderon

Effectively the British "Little Stevie" - Steve Winwood played all the instruments on Arc of a Diver (title track, While You See a Chance) and Talking Back to the Night albums (Valerie), which are his most commercially successful, at least as a solo artist. Arc of a Diver had a mix of acoustic and programmed drums, but he did all of that (and keys, guitar, mandolin, bass, vocals). Talking Back to the Night was all keys and programmed drums, but he did all of that album except some backing vocals.

A true prodigy, Winwood is 77 years old and has been a rock star for 61 of those years.

Tab definitely brings in drummers and bassists to help in the studio, but he's talented enough to do it all himself. He even played drums on one of Eric Johanson's albums.
