Free Music Review: Innervisions
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my all time favorite Stevie Wonder CD's. I really started to listen to his music when this record made it's debute. Great rhythms and lyrics put together in one soulful sounding package. There really was some wonderful music that came out of that time period.Free Music Review: The Wonder That is Stevie...

There have been some musical artists who after a string of gold (or better) releases as a child or young adult, can't seem to transition into a mature adult singer, and in turn are rarely heard from again.
Thankfully, Stevie never went his way. After all his success as "Little Stevie Wonder", he matured into one of the most prolific singer and songwriters of our time, and continues to be so today. Stevie also took control of his music career (not an easy thing to have done when Berry Gordy was still running Motown).
Innervisions is one of his 1970's masterpieces. This record mixed tracks dealing with the nations urban ills (Living For The City, He's Mista Know It All, Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing),
with some great mid-tempo tracks (Golden Lady, To High), and a beautiful, often covered ballad, All In Love Is Fair.
Like Marvin Gaye with his breakthrough album, What's Going On (see my review), a Stevie Wonder song like Living For The City, brought the issues of racism, black on black injustice, and urban ills to the forefront, yet delivered these messages in a great hit song that reached far more people than any classroom lecture could ever hope to.
There is a reason why these tracks still reach out to people today, and I don't feel Stevie has any contemporary peer.

Only Prince can come close to what Stevie Wonder has done. It's still Stevie - by a nose.Free Music Review: Quintessential Wonder
Hit: 5 Stars
If one could capture, embody the essence of Stevie Wonder, this is without doubt THE recording. Within these compositions are subltelties, dynamics of range, masterful keyboard prowess, unduplicated even in his later recordings. Wonder reshaped, redefined an entire genre of R&B that then, and still today, suffers a debilitating stigmatism. He went on to accomplish great feats of highly marketable compositions, but InnerVisions is his defining moment. The only other CD that I personally believe Wonder revisits his crafted genius is in Hotter Than July. But that's another review. Cheers.

I first heard this recording when I was 5 years old and we've been inseperable every since; the sound is still fresh! I can always put on this LP/CD,(I have both), and marvel how Stevie, with his limitations, could produce a recording with such clarity. Although a lot of attention is always given to Songs in the Key of life, which is his most popular, I think by far, this is the superior recording of that period.
Its in that rare collection of CD/LP that can be played from begginning to end without interuption. Although I do give Side 1 more airplay. (Side 1 for all you little ones is referring to the LP version. ;)
