higher ground!

there are really too many to choose from but I do have a favorite which is AS... I just love that song because it's saying I will love you through this life into the next and the life after that.

Shit. Almost forgot "Knocks me off my Feet" - Shame on me!

Anyone else out there likes "Saturn"?? Not a widely discussed track but excellent IMO

love that song

"goin back to Saturn where the
rings are gooooold..."

According to what was said during the "Songs in the Key of Life" episode from the "Classic Albums" series, Stevie meant to say "Saginaw" but Michael was into space at the same time and "Saturn" kind of fit into the musical production anyway.

I can't believe neither of my top 2 have been mentioned yet. A while back, I would've said "Isn't She Lovely," but now I have to go with "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing." The reason should go without saying, but I'll play along: the song jams, the vocals are fantastic, and Stevie is absolutely hilarious in the intro.

(Hey Jess, I can't believe I beat U here!...Stevie thread! )



ummmmm....I guess i gotta go with They Won't Go When I Go....though this is too hard...but I can't think of a song by him that's moved me more...when I first heard it, I reset the record and laid on the ground in fetal position...



yeah




i mean dayam

Interesting, I always thought "Isn't She Lovely" a precursor to some of his more cheesy 80's material.

Agree with "Don't you worry 'Bout a thing" though!

Kush said:

Agreed. The lyrics are so wordly wise. Stevie is a genius who could be worshipped as a God in some countries.

Since you mentioned that one already, now I'll vote for They Won't Go When I Go because the harmonies are amazing

...

Problem is, every day I seem to have a new favorite!!



Today: Creepin'



Tomorrow: Golden Lady



Tuesday: Tuesday Heartbreak,lol!


Wednsday : Lookin' For Another Pure Love


Thursday: You've Got it Bad Girl


Friday: All I Do


Saturday: Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing


etc., etc.....

I feel you with those songs, especially Looking For Another Pure Love with Jeff Beck on guitar!

silverchild said:

Yeah, Jeff's guitar is so sweet on that tune!!



...

You Haven't Done Nothin'

paligap said:

Do I Do - I love the vocals and the beat on this one, it's mad funky!!!

Abdul said:

Agreed. I dig those along with Creepin, You Haven't Done Nothing, You Will Know, and Knock Me Off My Feet along with a string of others. His cataglogue is too filled with beautiful slow jams, and Funky cuts to choose from.

IamtheDJ said:

those lyrics are BRILLIANT...

through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can't be bought
or sold...tell me why are you people so cold?


those lyrics are just as relevent today!

SoulAlive said:

Couldn't agree with you more!

"We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don't even know what they're dying for
We can't trust you when you take a stand
With a gun and bible in your hand
And the cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we'll destroy...."

Genius!

Stevie wrote 4 brilliant songs:

- I wish
- Supersticious
- Living for the city
- As

Respect,

Funky Steve Cuts.
Higher Ground
I wish
Supersticious
Living for the city
You haven't Done Nothing

Christaro said:

He wrote many more than that!

MsLegs said:

How can you name funky Stevie cuts and not bring up "Maybe Your Baby"?

AlexdeParis said:

My list contains my favorites.

"Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away"

This is simply one of THE most beautiful songs ever recorded.

MsLegs said:

I see.

Co-sign!

It varies from week to week but right now I'd say 'Visions'. Just a beautiful understated song.

AlexdeParis said:

Yes, he did, but those were good. The 4 I mentioned were brilliant.

No argument there. Stevie's catalogue is so vast and profound that one can go on for days discussing it.
