Since we already have threads dedicated to John Lennon and David Bowie, this is a thread dedicated to Stevie Wonder, the greatest soul / R & B musician in the history of recorded music.

Was he the blind guy or that gay guy?

Was he the blind guy or that gay guy?

Can it be both?

The blind guy. The blind guy who managed to overcome his ailment and become one of if not the most influential artists in recorded history.

 

[Sensi]

My favorite song of his is I Just Called To Say I love You

If that is a current pic of him...someone needs to tell him the year isn't 1989.

Should I have been more Bateman-esque inmy praise for him?

No, it's more mid 1980s'.

In what way? How is it funny?

If you put an exclamation mark on the end, it'd be even funnier.

It just sounds like the beginning of a bad trailer.

Great find.

 

[Tobiaswins]

Signed Sealed Delivered is my personal Fav of his.

 

[mister Lennon]

John Lennon was better.

But Stevie was great, excellent composer, great musical artist, awsome voice, etc. One of the best musicians ever.

I have a list myself. It's about 60 songs long, but it just goes to illustrate how many good songs the man has.

As a side note:

10, 000 posts! WOOT! Haha!

[Joker]

I like Superstition

 

[terry78]

Stevie is on par, or even on a higher level than most musicians lyrically. Sit back and listen to most of his songs, not just the love ballads. He talks about some pretty hardcore stuff. Like Superstition, for one.

 

[SoulManX]

Yep Mr. Wonder is the man...next to Mavrin Gaye and MJ

Agreed. Stevie is quite possibly the most socially conscious musician around. He dealt with a lot of topics (Racism, Apartheid) no one had really dealt with before (except Dylan).
