alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> EverywhereRough guideRead the RYM Rough Guide for this artist       (as suggested by Shrimp91) "Stevie Wonder embodies everything soul is about. He lays it all out in his music for you, no holds barred. He communicates an immense joy through his music such as I've never heard in another artist, and yet shows himself capable of sorrow that's hard to bear. His lyrics draw you in, and you can't help but be swept away. And through it all, the thread holding it together is his musical genius. I don't know of a more universally talented musician, capable of having half the songs on Talking Book not even have liner notes, since no studio musicians were even used! Let's face it guys, he deserves a listen, or two, or fifty, or...you get the idea." - yoda2000 ALL-TIME TOP FIVE: 1) Superstition (from <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/talking_book/" target="_blank">Talking Book</a>) 2) Living For The City (from <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/innervisions/" target="_blank">Innervisions</a>)  3) Sir Duke (from <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/songs_in_the_key_of_life/" target="_blank">Songs in the Key of Life</a>)  4) Higher Ground (from <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/innervisions/" target="_blank">Innervisions</a>) 5) I Wish (from <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/songs_in_the_key_of_life/" target="_blank">Songs in the Key of Life</a>) RECOMMENDED ALBUM: <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stevie_wonder/songs_in_the_key_of_life/" target="_blank">SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE</a> "With Stevie Wonder, it is impossible to separate the man from his music, which seems to be a natural extension of his being. More than any other artist I can think of, he has a spiritual connection to music. Both his energetic funk songs and heart-wrenching ballads seem to flow from him so easily that it makes me wonder where his effortless brilliance comes from." - Rocket88 "Quite possibly the most important artist in the history of popular music. Stevie has done everything. He's written lyrics with love, compassion, wit, and just pure genius. He's a virtuoso of MANY instruments. His soul shines through his music and just listening to him you can tell what a wonderful person he is. He projects this in such a way as to make me feel better about, not only myself, but the human race as a whole (and I'm quite the cynic at heart)...no easy feat! Mr Wonder is exactly that....a wonder." - Drummer1956 "I could drone on and on about this man's musical genius, his flawless songwriting, his ability to be a one-man band...but I'm gonna only say this - just listen to the music! Pick any album from Signed, Sealed & Delivered to, say, Hotter Than July and listen all the way through. You'll hear nothing but winners." - SvetlanaMonsoon   (THEY WON'T GO WHEN I GO: sergegrone, ecjam6, sosadixon, jsh357, Wurlitzer, ivank79, Nonnel, dmpulp, Morak99, xowqx, Soul Man, Credn333, SvetlanaMonsoon, Aner77, warpig01, Drummer1956, Rocket88, elayblooze, MrMungbean, yoda2000, Tezcatlipoca, DonovanZoi, Ellison, Euridyce, grendel71) LINK: <a href="http://rateyourmusic.com/board_message/message_id_is_958678" target="_blank">POLL #38 (May 2007)</a></blockquote>
