Stevie Wonder “Music of My Mind” (1972)
This fully deserves to be held in just as high esteem as the rest of Stevie's 70's discography. Totally stunning music and it must have been a total shock to soul lovers ears on release. The music at the time was futuristic in the extreme. Utilizing the synthesizer to full effect to create a unique sound to go along with the supremely catchy and uplifting songs. There is really no weaknesses to this record. If there is any downside it is that Stevie doesn't seem to realise quite what he has unleashed and so there is a little too much experimentation in places. Is there a better Stevie song than "Superwoman"? If there is I have yet to hear it. Get this and everything up to Songs In The Key of Life and you have some serious soul music to fall back on. –Jon
