Favourite Stevie Wonder song and Why?

I know! I know! Almost impossible to choose. But it can be done!

I'll start:

Golden Lady - perfect, heartfelt, emotional, genius!

There are so many to choose from, but i will say:

Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)- jazzy, confrontational, ambitious, dreamy, and its earthy!

Why because it has this swagger and gallop that just moves me. The vocal harmonies are insane.
Music is the best...

"Living for the City" - Stevie's most powerful song, IMO. Just as relevant today as it was in 1973.

Great shout! Took me a while to get into this one but now it's one of my favourite. "A writer takes his pen....." amazing lyrics!

Not for the tune but for the lyrics, I must say that "Positivity" from "A Time 2 Love" makes me stop and think.

It kind of gives you a slap and a shake and refocuses you on making the best of every day. The genius lives on IMO

Tuesday Heartbreak - not his most profound, timeless song, I know, but I fervently love it and every time it plays I get completely lost in that track.

wow... if I had to pick just one

"Master Blaster (Jammin)"
because that song brings back
memories of my late cousin Cheryl
who's a heavy influence on me musically

Something about the second half of "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" gives me chills. I just love the simplicity of it but it's actually complex at the same time.

I can say the same for "You & I" and "Feeding Off the Love of the Land" from the end of the "Jungle Fever" movie.

Agreed- the multi vocal harmonies remind me of a Marvin Gaye song, and when the song starts to rock, its 4 real

I'd say my current favourite Stevie song is "Sweetest Somebody I Know" The bass work is real nice, and plus the vocals are sweet as well as the lyrics; great love song
