Without doubt, Stevie Wonder was one of the most influential artists of the 1970s, and “Songs in the Key of Life” represents the apotheosis of his career.

On this very generous double album, he reaches a creative pinnacle that cemented his legacy, probably for all time. This may sound like exaggeration, but if you really and honestly reviewed the ten-year period between 1967 and 1976, you’d be crazy if you didn’t acknowledge Stevie Wonder as the most influential album artist of that remarkably creative era.

Think about that. It seems that present-day musicians underestimate Stevie Wonder, or on the other hand, they have stolen so much from him that they’d rather not admit it. But if you look back with an honest and discerning eye, you’d have to be deaf to miss the stunning importance of his relevance, Keep in mind that before his absolute dominance of the album era, he was also one of Motown’s most reliable singles artists! It’s really a lot to wrap your head around, but stop worrying and just listen, because “Songs in the Key of Life” speaks for itself.
