THE BEST Stevie Wonder compliation!!!:
This set is just so great, I'm so glad I got it! In my opinion, the era represented here, is Stevie's best and all of the songs on this set are just so wonderful.The sound is excellent! I can't say enough about this compilation! A must for old school funk/soul lovers!
Stevie: Past & Present:
This is a kind of 'best of' album, however Stevie pieced this one together himself in 1982 with love & care, picking a selection of personal favourites from his awesome 70s body of work, and recording four new songs to go with them, spreading them over a two disc set. Not much point going over the old material present, as Stevie never made a misstep in the 70s. Truly mind blowing work. The new songs are hitting and reveal Stevie on top form after the rushed 1980 effort 'Hotter Than July'. The highlight has to be the closing 'Do I Do', a 10 minute exercise in FONK with a classic hook. 'That Girl' rides an awesome beat, and 'Ribbon In The Sky' and 'Front Line' are both great new cuts. Another benefit is the inclusion of 'Send One Your Love', the super sweet and dreamy sounding highlight from the abortive 'Secret Life Of Plants' soundtrack that otherwise wouldn't get any play. This album flows like a real album in itself, and is by far the best introductory item to new fans, but also a sweet thing to play for people like me with the other albums. After this album in 1982, Stevie only recorded a few more albums and never really got back on form, but nothing can undo the body of work he laid down before this. Stevie, You're The Man!
Isn't he lovely?:
This album features the best of Stevie Wonder from 1972 to 1982. Need I say more?
An essential 70s collection:
Who else but Stevie Wonder could coexist with The Allman Bros. Band, Jethro Tull, and Yes on FM radio? I grew up listening to these songs on a tinny little alarm clock radio in the mid-70s, and he blew everyone else off of the airwaves. Regardless of your race, musical preference, or car sound system ;), Stevie was the most exciting musician on the planet. Not since the mid-sixties Beatles did an artist/group dominate the musical landscape the way Stevie Wonder did from 1973 - 1977. This 2-cd set skims the cream of his output off the top of his phenomenal run of creativity. Buy this album as an introduction, but I guarantee you will want to get the original lps the songs come from, and you won't be disappointed.
