Stevie wonder decade preference. 60s, 70s or 80s?

I know this might sound like a dumb question for some because everyone of all ages are aware of his classic period of the 70s from 72-76 but I've been listening to Stevie Wonder non stop today and his 60s work is amazing. His 80s work is hard to sit through though 🤣.

But honestly I'm going with the 60s era for Stevie Wonder.

What about you?

the NINETEEN SEVENTIES, obviously.

.

Stevie effortlessly (seemingly) put out some good music in the 60's..

but in the 1970s Stevie took his music to an entire, much higher level

.

he made a sufficient amount of very good music in the 80s

but his masterful music of the 70s

that body of work stands on its own & stands comparably against the best work

over any period

for any artist or group

I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

Artistically, 70’s, but it was the 80’s I think he was at his all-around best. He had amassed a HUGE catalog of hits, he was touring non-stop, still releasing tons of great music, writing tons of music for others, and his voice had matured into a surreal, amazing vocal machine. He was always giving three-hour, 30-song setlists with one of the greatest backing bands I’ve heard.

It was great--a once in a lifetime chance to hear him do that album live.
