Anything from the 70s. Fulfillingness First Finale, Innervisions, Talking Book. | |

Pretty much everything from "Music of My Mind" to "Songs in the Key of Life" in the early to mid-70s is essential, but if you want to cheat:
"At the Close of the Century" is a four-disc set that has practically everything that makes up the essential Steveland Morris. | |

Is there any one album from the 70s that stands out to you? I have Music Of My Mind but didn't love it - it's good but wasn't a real stand out for me. | |

You can start with "Talking Book," which features essential songs "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" and "Superstition" along with ballad staple "You and I." | |

In order of accessibility, here's what I'd suggest:
1. Talking Book 2. Innervisions 3. Songs in the Key of Life (more accessible than #2, but a lot to digest) 4. Fulfillingness' First Finale - Music of My Mind (but you already have it) 5. Hotter Than July 6. Where I'm Coming From 7. Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants 8. Characters 9. Signed, Sealed, and Delivered 10. In Square Circle After that, you should be ready to buy the rest.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

This is the one album that should be taught and studied in EVERY music appreciation class as well as sociology class. It is a history lesson on wax.

So, which are you getting? Lots of recommendations, but I'm gonna throw another in there that's not been mentioned:
Original Musiquarium I (1982) It's a good jumping off point: "Superstition" – 4:25 "You Haven't Done Nothin'" – 3:29 "Living for the City" – 7:26 "Front Line" (Wonder/Byrd) – 5:52 "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" – 7:57 "Send One Your Love" – 4:02 "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" – 2:51 "Ribbon in the Sky" – 5:35 Disc 2 "Higher Ground" – 3:46 "Sir Duke" – 3:52 "Master Blaster (Jammin)" – 5:08 "Boogie On Reggae Woman" – 4:55 "That Girl" – 5:15 "I Wish" – 4:12 "Isn't She Lovely" – 6:32 "Do I Do" – 10:27 | |

I could be mistaken, but I think Song Review is as close as you're going to get to that list. It includes all but Pastime Paradise and Isn't She Lovely. | |

I've always been tempted to buy all his album but I don't know every single song though I know a lot, I'm just worried about the rest being fillers though I'm sure I will appreciate the artistry and instrument playing since he's awesome anyways. | |

Why does that comment sound like what people say about mj and his dancing?
I've heard similar things about 'songs' actually and I think it's worth buying just for that reputation alone. | |

yeah I genuinely love Higher Ground and Living For the City so if I were to buy an album and not a compilation, I would start with that one. | |

It made me become a Stevie Wonder fan and I was a kid when it was out. I'd so go with anything of Stevie's from 1972, starting with Music Of My Mind to 1985 with In Square Circle I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
