Stevie Wonder Appreciation Thread Where do I start? I absolutely adore the man! He's my favourite musician of all time. As a musician, I worship him . I grew up from the time I was a little girl (like age 4) listening to his album Talking Book. . I've seen him in concert one time (October 2015) and he and his band put on a fabulous show! . His voice is incredible. No one plays the harmonica better than he does. He's an incredible pianist. He's a great drummer. He's an incredible songwriter. He writes and sings on a variety of topics from love, superstition, God, racism, fatherhood, political struggle, and people's contradictions (e.g. skeletons in your closet). Need I say more about the man? . He's won 25 Grammy awards. And he's had all of these accomplishements while being blind. He turns 67 on May 13th of this year. . If you love and appreciate Stevie Wonder, share it here! . Source: https://www.rockhall.com/...vie-wonder

I love his golden period material and Hotter Than July, after that some great songs here and there. Wonderful voice, beautiful man. Talkin Book might be my favorite album from him. | |

Love him loads. Needs to release more work though. Seems like he's settled on his past and become lazy. Either that or he's got nothing creative going on upstairs anymore. I hope that's not the case but 'A Time 2 love' was soooo long ago now. Yeah, we'll, we'll try to imagine what silence looks like. | |

I hope that's not the case but 'A Time 2 love' was soooo long ago now. I hear what you are saying about his output. That said, I think he has 3 or 4 kids under age 18. I wonder if fatherhood may be higher on his priority list than new material. . Also, his classic period material is so damn good that I doubt anything he makes presently would top his classic period stuff. What I would love for him to do is a Talking Book/Innervisions tour.

So, yesterday, my husband and I were listening to the radio on the way to church, and Stevie's song "You Will Know" (from Characters) plays on the radio. I don't recall ever hearing that song before then, but let me just say, I fell in love. What a fantastic song! . I've been playing "You Will Know" and "Dark'N'Lovely" on repeat the past 36 hours or so. Overall, Characters is very ho-hum, but I love those 2 songs. "Skeletons" and "Get It" are pretty decent...I love the lyrics to "Skeletons." Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

Sylvia Moy (September 15, 1938 - April 15, 2017)Sylvia Moy, a Motown songwriter and producer who collaborated with Stevie Wonder on “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” and “My Cherie Amour,” and who was a co-writer of hits for the Marvin Gaye-Kim Weston duet and the Isley Brothers, died on Saturday in Dearborn, Mich. She was 78. “It’s certainly true that Sylvia found his sweet spot with the material,” Adam White, who wrote the book “Motown: The Sound of Young America” (2016) with the longtime Motown executive Barney Ales, said in a telephone interview. “She brought a fresh approach, a musical discipline and a rapport that produced songs of a high caliber.” It's called show business for a reason. It’s 90% business and 10% show. ~ Johnnie Taylor

Yeah, I've been digging that album too. I've had 'Don't Drive Drunk' playing in my head for at least two weeks now. Woman in Red is often cited in 'all time worst album' lists. Probably because of the presence of THAT song - you know the one I mean. But I don't even mind that particular song here - the extra vocodered verse and chorus are cool. It's been too long since you've had your ass kicked properly:

Words cannot describe how much Stevie Wonder means to me! Been listening practically since I was born and grew up with him. Just adore him so much. He is always the "go to" artist when I am feeling down and something is so comforting and soothing about him. Musical genius for sure. Love is God, God is love, girls and boys love God above.
RIP Sweet Prince | |

Love that album! You should aslo give "With Each Beat of My Heart" and "One of a Kind" a listen. They are my absolute faves from that album along with "You Will Know". Love is God, God is love, girls and boys love God above.
RIP Sweet Prince | |

I only recently heard "Someday At Christmas" - it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Listened to it on YT over and over on repeat. I've got to get into discovering the back catalogue..... | |

Arguably the GOAT. I echo all the good things said here. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

He has some absolutely fantastic songs, but to me many of his songs sound better when done by others. A bit like Dylan in that way. | |
