Has anyone read this Stevie Wonder book yet?




I just found this book on Amazon.com and I was so interested because an author is going in-depth of how he created 5 classic records: Music Of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness First Finale, and Songs In The Key Of Life and also what was going on in his personal life while he was creating them. Has anyone read this book yet?

Yup I thought it was pretty cool!! The author is a keyboard player so he addresses a lot technical questions about Stevie's chords and changes, as well as the type of keyboards he used for certain sounds...on those albums...a lot of information on Cecil and Margouleff and their TONTO bank of synthesizers---- used when Stevie was block booked at ElectricLady studios to record the bulk of those first four classic albums....

I bought this book several months ago (even started a thread about it,lol).I haven't finished it,but from what I have read so far,it's a very impressive book,with in-depth analysis of Stevie's classic albums from the 70s.
