Now that I think about it, Creepin' just might be my favorite Stevie tune -- in my mind, that one and Golden Lady are fighting it out for First place, lol

...


Creepin' made me wish that Stevie and Minnie Riperton would've collaborated another LP after Perfect Angel.

I've been listening to this album all week and I don't understand why I didn't get it the first time I heard it. The first time I heard it, it was more gentle than his previous album, Innervisions, it didn't have any flow, and the production was pretty dreamy and light. I still think it was a reflective album because that previous year, he was in a car accident that almost killed him. There are some good songs on here, though. "Ain't No Use" is one of Stevie's most underrated ballads, "Boogie On Reggae Woman" is indeed one of his best and most-popular among his beloved fans, "They Won't Go When I Go" is creepy, but at the same time it's very meditative, "Creepin'" is one of my favorite tunes by Stevie, "Smile Please" is just delightful to me. I'm glad Stevie got a Grammy for Album Of The Year for this underrated essential. It's becoming one of my favorite Stevie Wonder albums. Anyone heard of this?

I have this album and I love it. It took me a while to get into it but when I did I was blown away. It's often overlooked because its sandwhiched between Innnervisions and Songs, however, Fulfillingness' contains classic Stevie Wonder moments. My favs are the aforementioned Smile Please, and Creepin', the former is a warm opener to a blissful listening experience, the latter is a dreamy track that contains beautiful hi-hat usage, great harmonica work, and exquistie vocals. My other favs are the beautiful Too Shy To Say, which contains two of Wonders standards; great piano work and touching lyrics. Another fave is They Won't Go When I Go. However, the track that has my jaw firmly planted to the floor whenever I hear it is the all out funk assault, [color=green]You Haven't Done Nothin'. The clavinet is at the fore, in the vein of Superstition and Maybe Your Baby, and the punchy horns, honest lyrics, beat machine and hi-hats take the song to another level. It also contains a soulful background "Doo-Doo Wop" by the Jackson 5! Fulfillingess is a grossly underrated album that had the misfortune of being sandwhiched between to earth shattering classics.[/color]

I just bought this! I'm going to have to listen to it on a better CD player, though. The one on my sister's computer makes this irritating buzzing noise when some CDs are in there.
