alexothetimes said:

Jermaine- Let's Get Serious
The Jackson 5- we don't know if there was a title
Minnie Riperton- Perfect Angel (I'm not too sure)
most of Syreeta's early albums

bboy87 said:

He wrote and produced the title track and produced "Loving You". Minnie & Richard Rudolph produced the rest.

Timmy84 said:

Don't forget about "take a little trip".

Syreeta's albums are called Syreeta (1972) and Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta (1974) worth checking.

Oops he sure did lol

I've got both the Syreet albums and they are wonderful.

If you love Talking Book / Innervisions and Fulfillingness' First Finale it's safe to say you'll also love those two albums.

He produced a couple of cuts for 2 of Sergio Mendes late 70s albums(can't remember which).

Minnie, beside the mention. He produced "Lover & Friend" from her '78 self-titled album.

Chaka Khan - Tell Me Something Good

Michael Jackson & later, Carl Williams - Buttercup(In fact he produced a WHOLE album for Michael Jackson but later got shelved).

Couple of stuff for Jeff Beck's mid-70s albums also.

Gary Byrd - Crown

He also produced Harmour Love for Syreeta which was on her One To One album.

I've been curious about these albums for years! I gotta finally get these.

SoulAlive said:

I thought you of all people memorised the whole 1st 2 albums from Syreeta boy, you're in for a long addiction period.

Yes, Perfect Angel was produced by Stevie.....
A Stevie Wonder/Michael Jackson album? This I gotta have!

I don't know about him producing a whole album, but several singles by artists most definitely.

i done that been playing them for 8 going on 9 years every once. though my dad is a massive stevie fan since 1974.

I guess his blindness is quite a big disadvantage in that regard. Sure you have the engineer(s) there to do most of the technical stuff, but you'll still have to observe all kinds of things that's taking place during the production process ("don't do that", "that's not working, why don't you set the microphones so that the overheads are pointing towards..." and so on). Most producers in the past decades still wanted to check out VU meters and things like that during the process nevertheless - these days they're staring at the computer monitor.

Stevie was always a technology freak himself - and hell, he was operating even modular synthesizers himself - but there were always still certain limitations that he had to deal with.

Well, I don't think Stevie has ever let a limitations get the best of him. He beat all odds multiple times afterall. And to me he sees more than most people ever will. You can only be limited if you allow yourself to feel limited.

Uhm, okay.

Okay.

But didn't Stevie Wonder producethe old way? Meaning he produced the song by sound and not sight. He knew the drum pattern he wanted, bass lick, instrumentation and directed the musicians to play the way he wanted it to sound? [Dr. Dre way]

vizionheiry said:

Exactly. Stevie is OLD SCHOOL. It's good that way. He was all about the music, not the beats. Real talk. Limitations my butt. Ray Charles was the same way lol.

I'm saying! I was like am I missing something here...

NMuzakNSoul said:

I read it the same way like "uh..."

I've been thinking about this. Stevie also sang and co-produced on 'What's That You're Doing' off of Paul McCartney's 'Tug Of War' album!
