so ahead of its time...too many sounds and textures, a bass which doesn't sound like a 70s bass, perfect mix of electronic and organic instruments

You'll get no argument from me.That song is AMAZING 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is my all-time favorite album.

I'm sure I will catch hell for this but I have never liked the sound of that song. It's too cold and sterile sounding, which may be intentional but I still don't like it. I would say that it is not even the best produced song on that album.

Huh, that's quite a bit more charitable than the torches and pitchforks I expected.

My favorite Stevie Wonder album, but not a big fan of this song. Ahead of it's time yes, but to me it seems more like a song for M. I. A then someone like Stevie Wonder.

There were so many well-produced songs of the 70s, that it is hard to really nail point one particular one. This whole masterpiece and Stevie's legendary run in the 70s was unmatched production-wise. But this song, in particular, is ahead of its time. Just goes to show that Stevie's vision back in the day was unlimited and undeniably brilliant.

No this was:

Something by The Carpenters or Abba. Their production is amazing.
