Ha nice, I made it a mission to see him love when he came down my way. Amazing presence. Master blaster is a personal favourite one of the first songs I learned on bass. Part time lover is another classic, pretty much sums up the modern dating scene

I like him but I give him only 9.5 because I was in love with his voice in "part time lover" when I was very young. I thought he was a she. Man that hurt. Probably like accidently falling for a ladyboy.

He is a master.
Have always loved watching him play Superstition on the keys.
It's like he is finger banging the ivory without even thinking.

Stevie Wonder is one of the all-time greats. I put him in the same category as Lennon/McCartney, Fagen/Becker, Jagger/ Richards, Holland-Dozier-Holland, etc. etc...

One of my musical heroes. When I was learning to play bass, Stevie was always on.
What great timing here. My girl picked up a record player a couple weeks ago and she got me an old Stevie Wonder vinyl album. Sure I'll be listening to it at her place, but she knows me. Excited, as I have never used a record player myself!

He is just awesome and a much under-appreciated musical genius in the modern era.
Actually met him one time in NYC but just got to shake his hand.
His songs also bring back some pretty warm memories from my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s.

This thread is right on time. Because I've recently been on this Stevie Wonder binge where I've been going back and exploring his catalog. The stuff he did from the late 60s to mid 70s is just luminary.
My fav songs from him at the moment are "Hey Love", "Superwoman", "Creepin'" and "Too High". Too high is one of my favorite songs of all time of any genre. I usually like the covers people do of it too.
I'm hoping to check him out in Atlanta for his Songs in the key of life tour. He's one of those men I have to see perform at least once and he's getting up in age. I regret never seeing MJ or James Brown perform when they were still here so I can't miss Stevie.
