Mistermaxx...this is a good thread, because these are two great Stevie love classics. They both were released as singles and didn't chart as high as they should have.

Although "Ribbon In The Sky" contains an awesome Stevie Wonder lyric. That "As" is a sheer force to be reckoned with. This gets my vote as the official best love song EVER written. After all...

Will 8x8x8x8x8x8 ever equal 4???

Will right ever turn to left???

Will parrots ever live at sea???

Will she ever be him and will he ever be her???


Then to cement his point he exclaims..."Now ain't that LOVING you". Can't offer no more assurance than this...THAT'S FOR SURE!!!

As I stated back on June 7 Stevie Wonder thread a few months ago, Songs In The Key Of Lifewas the official first album I ever owned. When I first heard this song as a little boy, I actually shedded a few tears. There was something about the lyrics,Stevie's voice and the musical backdrop {with the background vocalists}that touch something deep in my inner man. It was like I was in the midst of a spiritual revivial.

A lyricist like Stevie is sorely missing in today's lame one-dimensional, R&B music world.
