Synopsis
Stevie Wonder is a much-beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only of soul and rhythm & blues but popular music in general. Author Steve Lodder tells Wonder's story from a fresh musical perspective concentrating on his most productive period 1971-1981. After an in-depth look at Wonder's background and his early history with Motown Lodder explores in detail the musical characteristics and influences found on the classic albums from the '70s: Music of My Mind Talking Book Innervisions Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life . Taking full advantage of the new opportunities afforded by the synthesizer technology and multi-tracking and inspired by the lyrical depth of Marvin Gaye and Sly Stone Wonder created a series of albums as popular as they are acclaimed.
