You can always hear Stevie wrote it or co-wrote it by the way the chords progress.along with the melody and then the unexpected chord or melody twists.

The poster was talking about the chord progressions, not the actual chords themselves. You don't need perfect pitch to follow the progression and notice when there's an unusual chord.

Yep, what Alex said. Sorry graecophilos if I wasn't clear but that's what I meant, Just like some singers can do something really unexpected with their voice and surprise you, (positively) or catch you off guard that's what a Stevie Wonder composition does too, a lot.(not always) Sometimes you think ti goes this way and then it goes a totally different way musically than what you would expect, that's what I love about Stevie Wonder. (amongst 100.000 other things)
