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.
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! I'd say that's my second fave, but I'm gonna have to go w/ "As" | |

Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Sort of a transition song for Stevie, I guess, and Bob Babbitt's bass line is so in the groove. I love the song.
But it is kind of impossible to pick one. a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

Right now my favorite jam from Stevie Wonder is LOVE LIGHT IN FLIGHT. His voice is unexplainable. I was and still am in awe of that song. He kicked ass on that jam. It actually brings tears to my eyes. I think I'll listen to it right now. | |

Some people go overboard dissing the '80s stuff just because every song isn't perfect. Hell, "Skeletons" is one of the last major funky songs.

Allot of the best music EVER made was during the 80s decade to me. SKELETONS is a funky song! That intro don, don, don-don, don, don-don, don, don-da,da, da,don is quite catchy. | |

There's so many great ones, but all I can think of now is "It Ain't No Use". That one makes me wish I could sing like the man, even though I can't. But it's all good. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

This is simply one of THE most beautiful songs ever recorded. i was waiting for someone to mention this one. it's lyrically thought provoking, crescendos into an almost gospel joint. it's Stevie's take on gospel. it captures humanity's preoccupation with negativity yet their disdain and disbelief in an afterlife. i think i PLAY Superwoman more than this one, but Heaven is probably my fave, this month. | |

Its hard to pick one I haven't heard that one in a while. I'll have to spin that one again. When I first heard it, I didn't really dig much of it because of it's dated production (circa 1995) Check me out and add me on:

I LOVE "I'm New" though, his voice is like candy on this one At this point in history, we have a choice to make

'Never Had A Dream Come True'.
As a gay man, I found an unintentional resonance in the lyrics... I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, Im loved by you And were free as the wind And true love is no sin Therefore, men are men, not machines I never, never had a dream come true Without you, the world out there is painted shades of blue Since our roads never crossed I work just to please the boss Think I might as well get lost in my dreams Do do do do do..... I never, never had a dream come true Yes, Im gonna dream about you baby my whole life through Seems my folks are ashamed Said I aint worth a thing But Im glad Im chained to my dreams Do do do do do..... Keep on dreamin Sing along with me Keep on dreamin | |

Any of you oldheads out there remember Stevie singing "Superstition" on Sesame Street years ago? That was the first time I ever saw him perform, and I was blown away. And Big Bird and Grover were gettin down One of the most beautiful love songs ever written was "My Cherie Amour" I love that song! I also like the "King Holiday Song" (Happy Birthday To Ya!) "Do I Do", "That Girl" and "Tell Me Something Good" I know he wrote that for Chaka Khan but that song is FUNKY!! | |
