I personally thought the whole Woman In Red soundtrack was underrated. It Is underrated, and I love "Weakness, It's You, It's More Than You, Love Light In flight, and Moments aren't Moments,etc.... But I Hate " Don't Drive Drunk", and especially "I Just Called to say I love You"..that one makes me feel like somebody poured honey all over my head!

paligap said: to me, Songs in the Key of Life is a great album that has some great tunes, but it also has a lot of songs I would skip over, but that seems to be the case with most double (or triple) albums...
again...interesting  cause it is maybe the only (?) double album I WON't skip through ANY song at all, it really rounds up perfectly for me. and going through the tracklisting in my head now, I don't there's a song I would NOT rate 5 or at least 4 1/2 stars
hey, that's just my 2 cents 
but to conclude this: of course everybody has his personal faves and different tastes & opinions, but we all seem to agree it's a great album... ...so let's all join in to  Stevie Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I'd waited to post on this, out of fear that I'd forget some of the countless songs that have touched my life. 
So, here's the list with which I'll begin: 1) I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) 2) I can't do it. I just can't do it! 
In the 1970s, Stevie was on FIRE! So, all his albums from that period and a few hits from the '80s and '90s. Sheesh!! | |

Innervisions ought to do it alone.
As for 12 songs, try ... Living for the City Superstition You Haven't Done Nothing Maybe Your Baby I Wish Higher Ground Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away Overjoyed Skeletons Lately Send One Your Love That Girl If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

I know, 12 probably wasn't fair ( Maybe I should have just said 40), but anyway, here's mine: Superwoman/Where Were You When I needed You Golden Lady You've Got It Bad Girl Don't You Worry ' Bout A Thing Creepin' Too High Weakness Blame It On The Sun Knocks Me Off My Feet It's You Power Flower Feeding Off The Love Of The Land " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

The Stevie of the '70s would have probably made those lyrics less Hallmark card-ish. At one time Stevie could take simple lyrics and make something magical out of them ("You Are The Sunshine of My Life" being an example), whereas in the hands of lesser artists it would turn out to be sappy schlock. Like "I Just Called To Say I Love You" turned out for him... ...no offense Babycakes.  This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Supernova said: ...no offense Babycakes. Yeah, no offense intended here, either ...yeah, in the original post, I was just asking , If you had someone who's only idea of Stevie was " I Just Called to Say I love You", what other songs would you turn them onto?..."

'SITKOL' is one of the few 2-record sets that I like ALL THE WAY THROUGH.I wouldn't dream of skipping over any tracks,they're all superb.Even the four bonus tracks are incredible."All Day Sucker" is the funkiest jam Stevie has ever done. | |

okaypimpn said: DavidEye said: get back to your room and start playing it again.Don't make me have to get my belt! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! seriously,I find 'Sitkol' to be an amazing work.Truly incredible.Songs like "Summer Soft","Pastime Paradise","Another Star" and "Village Ghetto Land" just kill me everytime.I don't think that ANY other album by any other artist moves me the way this album does.
We'll have to start a seperate thread on this album (we've had many in the past,lol). | |

We'll have to start a seperate thread on this album (we've had many in the past,lol). Yes!  Like I said, it's a great album (it's Stevie, so that's a given!), but just not a favorite of mine and certainly not his best work IMO. However songs like "Have A Talk With God," "Village Ghetto Land," "Contusion," "Ebony Eyes" and (my favorite) "Easy Goin'" are amazing and still really close to me! | |

Is 'Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants' ever gonna be remastered? I think I would appreciate it more if I had a clear-sounding,remastered CD instead of the scratchy vinyl that I currently have | |

They seriously need to. I got it on CD about a year ago and although it's better on a digital recording, there is still that analog sound that you get from the album. Songs like "Power Flower" come through a bit clearer, but are still "fuzzy" if you know what I mean. | |

manray10 said: paligap said: If you were gonna turn somebody on to STEVIE WONDER , what 12 songs would you choose? Or do you think there's one album that would do it ? (say, to convince someone who's image of Stevie is " I Just Called To Say I Love You", that he's the ultimate artist.)
I would suggest any of the folowing albums: Music Of My Mind Talking Book Innervisons Fulfillingness Full Finale Songs In The Key Of Life Once they'e hooked, and they will be , I would suggest Stevie's box set, "At The Close Of A Century" for the best overview of his career until 2000. This set is basically the best greatest hits collection on Stevie's career. Newcomers can really use this set as a startng point for their journey through Wonderland.
A bargain basement intro collection is The Definitive Collection. P.S. Heard some live previews of Stevie's upcoming cd, "A Time To Love". With tunes like " Can't Imagine Love Without You", "True Love" And "Moon Blue", people better get ready for the Wonderman!! These tunes are jazz classics!! i heard "can't imagine love" at his "bet walk of fame", and i swear from the 1st few notes 2 the ending i never stopped cryin.... | |

If I'm not mistaken it was from CDworld.com I'll check for you, though. | |

That was a really nice song. The thing I've noticed about Stevie lately is that his vibrato has gotten a lot stronger, yet mellow, and that song really complimented his voice well. | |
