Isn't she lovely?  ]

Living for the City

Ah heck, let's just say pretty much his whole catalogue!  lol


He was married (at one time) to singer, Syreeta Wright, whom I also adored!

Some of Stevie's songs have been sampled over the years, which I think generally have been ok.

Coolio sampled Pastime Paradise for his Gangster's Paradise (then Weird Al parodied Gangster's Paradise for Amish Paradise) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840uku8_T4Q

Ginuwine sampled Visions for his song  I'll Do Anything/I'm Sorry

Livin' It Up by Ja Rule sampled Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do"

Will Smith would use "I Wish" as the basis for the theme song to his movie, Wild Wild West.

I always liked "Superstition" and "Part-Time Lover". RHCP did a very good cover of "Higher Ground".

signature banned as well

I used to like "Isn't She Lovely" until like a zillion people chose it as their audition song for American Idol

My favourite will always be "Part-Time Lover".  Back in the late 80s, there was a show called 'Incredible Sunday' and on one show, this guy used the palm of his hand to make a hand print painting of Steve Wonder and he did this while Part Time Lover played.  I always remembered that LOL

In the early 00s, the British (and now defiunct) boy band Blue did a great version of 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'

Stevie Wonder is awesome! Was going to download some of his songs off of itunes but I decided that it would be better just to buy the cd of his greatest hits since I look most of his songs. Hard to pick a favorite.

Ebony & Ivory, Part Time Lover and Superstition! All already mentioned but these are my Top 3 Stevie faves.

The only one to add is Lately...

Living For the City, Superstition, Higher Ground, and My Cherie Amour are among my Stevie Wonder favorites.  :)

Song In The Key Of Life is (I think) the best double album ever made!

I like most of the aforementioned hits. I would add You are the Sunshine of my Life and Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday

He rarely put a foot wrong until his 'muse' deserted him sometime in the 80s...

A favourite of mine which has the rare distinction of bettering the original!

Sadly, I've never quite forgiven him for 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'!  :P

I think the instrumentation is what murdered that song. The programmed synth was just too too much.  ;D However, if you listen to him singing it live sans keyboard, it's not as bad as remembered. In fact I'm going as far as to say I quite like it again! * jeng jeng jeng *
