I remember when this first came out. MAN, radio WORE this out! It was everywhere. Yeah, Hotter Than July was a huge album for Stevie. I bought the single and the album. It was a MUST HAVE just like Off The Wall was. Everybody had this. Venice Beach,...this song was all u heard.

Not one of my favorite tracks by him and the last of my favorite albums by Stevie. I perfer his early 70's material.

Stevie was on Jonathan Ross last night (UK TV) and included Master Blaster in a medley of songs. It was fantastic - the man is a true artist
so, what is the answer 2 the question of U

I only like 3/4 of the songs from Hotter Than July. If he'd left out 3 or 4 more average songs from AT2L I'd like that one more than HTJ!

this song reminds me of
my late cousin Cheryl "The Pearl"
I remember walking to her house
when she stayed down here
and hearing this song BLASTING
from her house

Hotter Than July is probably
my least favorite Stevie album
that I own...
like some others mentioned here
I only like about half of that album
and never got what the big
hype was about it...

no it wasn't. Stevie sang "Superstition", "I was made to love her" and "Sir Duke" on Jonathon Ross

love yes ma'am
I remember the beaded curtains
separating the rooms...
(the 70's/80's was much more fashionable
for those lil shotgun houses in the hood
I mean you could really deck a place out
with a lil of nothing)
the herbal essence in the air lol
errrrthang... like it was yesterday
she was doing laundry

yeah, "Master Blaster" is dope
although "Rocket Love" could
easily get best track from there too wink

Great song off a good album, If he had kept "Let's Get Serious" instead of giving it to Jermaine it woulda been a great album.

My faves are Rocket Love and Lately. I agree, he should have kept Let's Get Serious and You Are My Heaven for himself and it would have been a great album.

IMO, Hotter Than July already is a great album; it just isn't as good as the '70s albums. I think it's consistently good with no weak tracks. As for my favorite, I'd have to go with "I Ain't Gonna Stand for It." It's funky, a little goofy, and features Charlie & Ronnie Wilson of the Gap Band -- there's no way I couldn't love it. lol

speaking of Cholly Wilson...
was he ever in the group SWITCH?

the album cover for II
has a dark skinned fella on there
that eerily favors Cholly, last name Wilson

OMG,I totally agree! The opening song "Did I Hear You Say You Love Me" is very weak.Imagine if the album opened with the superior "Let's Get Serious" instead.That would have been one of Stevie's biggest hits.

Loce song and album - I remember being a kid and this ong was everywhere. Shouldn't be compared to earlier Stevie. Should be remembered in its own right. Totally defined a point in time.
