Where’s the Outrage?

I have only heard Stevie Wonder live twice. But man oh, man. When Stevie Wonder was at the top of his game, no one could touch him. He had a string of four albums which may be the best four albums that anyone has ever put together. I know that I’m using a lot of hyperbole but…Talking Book, Innervisions, Forfillingness First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life simply speak for themselves. Yes, he put out some sap. But he more than made up for that with outstanding tunes that leaped off the record. In his tribute to Bob Marley the song is actually done in Marley’s reggae fashion. It was brilliant. His tribute to Duke Ellington is one of the classic rhythm-and-blues tunes of all time. Again, Stevie uses horns in a similar fashion to the Great Duke Ellington. He mirrors Ellington’s writing style yet makes it pure Stevie. Enjoy!
