Stevie Wonder ~ The Secret Life Of Plants You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Send One Your Love A Seed's A Star - took me a decade or more to understand the information on the Dogon tribe's celestial knowledge that he was sharing on this one. Power Flower Same Old Story Black Orchid Come Back As a Flower
Not commercial enough for many, nevertheless, twas another Stevie gem.

I keep saying I'll check this out since I've heard so many good things about it, but I keep putting it off. During the janet. era, she talked about playing this album as inspiration. | |

The sweeping beauty of ''Black Orchid'' held me spellbound the first time I heard it. And if you really treasure this album, I recommend the vinyl version. | |

When I first about the album and its tracklist I laughed my arse off. I thought maybe Stevie lost his mind or something. But its actually a pretty good album. | |

Stevie isn't the only person to record an album about plants. Mort Garson released this record in 1976, but his is not a soundtrack.

I love this album. "Ecclesiastes" is Stevie's best instrumental IMO, "Come Back As a Flower" is quite possibly my favorite Syreeta performance on wax, "Power Flower" is magnificent... my only nitpick is that "Race Babbling" is a little too long. Still, a brave and ultimately rewarding end to what I consider the best decade by an artist in popular music history.
