there are missing a few


The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie (1962) - that has Fingertips

Tribute to Uncle Ray (1962)

Recorded Live: The 12 Year Old Genius (1963)

Live at the Talk of the Town (1970)

except for the Christmas album I have all of them on some old dusty vinyl, but to rank them is not easy...

if I'd have to pick the Top 3 that somehow stand out in my book I'd go with these:

- My Cherie Amour

- Signed, Sealed & Delivered

- Up-Tight


and from the Live recordings it would be "Live at the Talk of the Town"

Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Those are generally regarded as Little Stevie Wonder albums, thus why I left them out. Also, I'm just including studio recordings.

wouldn't that be like excluding albums from the Prince Disography, when he was just the Symbol? or also albums credited to "Prince & The Revolution"?

Its hard to rank these because some of them I would rank the same. However, my favs that have been mentioned are The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie, Up-Tight, For Once in My Life, My Cherie Amour, Signed, Sealed & Delivered , Where I'm Coming From. He was a child prodigy and some of his best material was when he was a child and should definitly be included.
