Stevie Wonder - Blinding!

[CheekyShepherd]

I've loved Stevie's music for most of my life, Songs in the Key of Life being one of my all-time favourite albums, but it's only recently, having being brought the Definitive Collection as a gift that I've fully realised his brilliance. There isn't a single song by him I don't like, but the only UK #1 he's had is "I Just Called To Say I Love You", just shows how shite the charts are!

What do you people think of Little Stevie? What are your favourite Stevie songs of all time?

My top 20:

1. Lately
2. I Don't Know Why (I Love You)
3. Part Time Lover
4. My Cherie Amour
5. Sir Duke
6. If You Really Love Me
7. I Ain't Gonna Stand For It
8. Overjoyed
9. Isn't She Lovely
10. I Wish
11. Do I Do
12. As
13. He's Misstra Know-It-All
14. We Can Work It Out
15. Superstition
16. Ebony & Ivory (with Paul McCartney)
17. For Your Love
18. Uptight (Everything's Alright)
19. Masterblaster (Jammin')
20. Pastime Paradise

I Just Called... doesn't even feature in my top 20! Shocking that it's the only of his hits to top the UK Charts!

Aaaah, listening to Stevie now.

I Don't Know Why (I Love You) has just been on, I felt my heart skip a beat...and now it's Pastime Paradise, which is quite frankly, KILLER funk-soul fusion.

The man is just the master. It's easy to forget what a unique talent he actually is.

Edited because my brain went wrong.

[CheekyShepherd]

Fully agree with Twisted Sister, my favourite song by Mr. Wonder usually depends entirely on what mood I'm in in the morning.

Listened to I Don't Know Why (I Love You) and it fired me up for what may be a tumultuous day out with the missus!

He's done so much stuff, it truly is impossible to adhere to a top twenty. Surely, it will be a-movin' and a-shakin' all over the gaff!

P.S. Has anyone seen Stevie Wonder's wife?

I know that joke really is bad taste, but it's not as though he's gonna read it!

[Romero&Juliet]

To be honest, I haven't heard much of his seventies stuff - but I happened upon a HEAP of records from when he was younger and they're all fucking great. A place in the Sun is definitely a keeper of an album. he was like - fourteen, or something.

I know I shouldn't, but LMFAO..... How old is that joke? Still it made me giggle. :D

I like Stevie, always knew his records, but Miss CoverVersion introduced me to a lot of stuff I'd never really heard before. In fact she always leaves a Stevie CD at mine for when she visits. Many a night we have gigged along to his music, happy days.....:p

I love Stevie Wonder. I adore all his songs. They really pick me up!
