Heres some of his classics.

Superstition has really stood the test of time, it sounds just as modern today as it did at its release in 1973. It has always sounded and staying with and ahead of its time, musically speaking.
Thank you for posting some of his classics, Lonnie. I think it is the style of the music that doesn't appeal to me. I like the lyrics okay, but I'm just not much of a soul/funk person.

Of those songs you posted, my least favorites was "Cherie Amour" and "You are the Sunshine of My Life," because they are too syrupy sweet and ballad-like for my tastes. I never liked "Part Time Lover" either.

My favorites were "For Once in My Life," which is peppy with cute, dated dancing in the background and excellent harmonica playing, and the "Happy Feet" song. Whoops! I mean, "I Wish."

I actually didn't realize Stevie Wonder sang "I Wish." I just thought it was a song composed for the "Happy Feet" movie! Heh heh! I think it works great in the movie, by the way.

"I Wish" ... aka the "Happy Feet" song
