And I thank PK, Parkdrive, ??'s and Jah for their good steer. "By straight answer, I meant from *Bob*. I was just curious, but it's impossible to get to the man "behind the cardigan".

*Bob* Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Anyway, enough about Stevie. Personally, I think his son, Wayne, has shown excellent musical promise as well.

???? Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nope, sorry *Bob*The biggest problem with Stevie is that, as Mr B alluded too, anyone under 40's exposure to him in their formative years are the soooooooooooooo awful, I just Called To Say I Love you, Lately, Happy Birtday (actually not quite so bad but only ok and horribly overplayed) and of course that awful deirge he did with Sir Paul. This is combined with musical snobism of white middle class music fans who don't really think that black Soul artists do anything that serious. The three albums mentioned the most (and bearing in mind Songs in the Key of Life is a double) are crammed full of innovative and experimental sounds which at the time were using cutting edge technnology, often for the first time AND packed with absolutely fantastic tunes, a few that don't work but not much treacly scmaltz. Talking Book, Innervisions and, For me esppecially , Songs in the Key of Life are up their with the best albums of that era without a doubt. And bearing in mind Wonder was reared in the Motown Hit Factory based on producing factory like (but often very good) hits to move into a completley new album based, experimental RnB sound was so innovative and unmatched by most of his contemperaries (Marvin Gaye maybe on What's Going on and Curtis Mayfield).Pseuds Corner anyone?

*Bob* Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Oh, right! - so 'Songs in the key of life', Innervisions' and 'Talking Book' are probably worth a listen then?If only someone had mentioned these three earlier on in the thread (bangs head on desk)I'd plump for Innervisions myself. A desert island album.. one of them anyway. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20445-stevie-wonder/page/3/#findComment-499075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Curtain Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 SureAgreeBut has Stevie got a Meile 5211 vacuum cleaner?

*Bob* Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Not sure if I'm with you there, Annette. Unlike the bog-standard 5211 with its everyday smooth plastic shell, The 5281 (in stunning marine velvet) has pleasingly textured finish and therefore - being the more tactile of the two models - with definitely be the one Stevie went for.

titch juicy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 agree with bob (about his choice of no.1 SW album)- Innervisions is more or less perfect....don't necessarily agree about his musical views in general- although i've only skim read so won't get into a 'dicussion'suffice to say, if someone likes it, then any music has redeeming qualities...and in response to what someone else said re- folks under 40 being exposed to SW's later stuff only....there's no reason for anyone to only be exposed to his later stuff.I wasn't around when he released his three (or four depending on your viewpoint) masterpieces in the 70's...or when he did fingertips etc as little stevie in the 60's- doesn't mean i don't love it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20445-stevie-wonder/page/3/#findComment-499201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
