Songs in the Key of Life
Date undefinedIt's sad that Stevie Wonder is best known and will be remembered by most for his ballads ala the schticky "I Just Called To Say I Loved You." This album confirms his genius and echoes strangely enough for me - The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's album. Songs like "Village Ghetto Land" reflect a storytelling aspect.
Like many artists of the seventies, Stevie was pretty progressive on this one. Some serious music here crossing a wide range of styles.

Date undefinedWHO IS THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? BARACK OBAMA- A BLACK MAN!!!!
Who would have thought that 32 years after this album's release that we would see a black man as President?

Date undefinedWhile it is certainly stating the obvious that this album is clearly a masterpiece of accomplishment, there is one song that I feel may be too often overlooked. The song "If it's Magic" is to my ears, one of the most beautifully sung and heartfelt performances of the 20 century. I have recently reintroduced myself to "songs", and while like many double Lps there is fat on the plate, the strong tunes well out way the weaker ones. This disc will be listened to a hundred years from now as a reference to that century, and hopefully many to come!
