Advantages: EXCELLENT LISTENING, STEVIE ON FORM Disadvantages: DIFFICULT TO PROMOTE WHEN THE ARTIST HAS SO MANY GOOD PIECES TO HAND.
...TO THOSE OF US WHO APPRECIATE REAL MUSICAL TALLENT...HERE'S A LEGEND IN ITS OWN LUNCHTIME... ONE OF STEVIES EARLIEST HITS 'FINGERTIPS' WAS CONSIDDERED HIS BEST... BUT FOR THOUGHT PROVOKING LYRICAL GENIUS, THIS PIECE COMES A CLOSE SECOND. ITS CONTENT SCREAMS AT YOU AS IVE TO REMIND YOU ... THAT CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF.... EVERYTHING REALLY IS ALLRIGH. MELODY AT ITS BEST AND INSTIMENTAL AT ITS VERY BEST THE LYRICS JUST CANT SAY ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE INNER FEELING THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HEAR A ONE OFF... IF YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I MEAN!.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT THOUGHT THAT STEVIE MIGHT HAVE TYPED THIS HIMSELF.... THEN ITS POSSIBLE... EXCEPT HE DOES'NT NEED TO PROMOTE HIS OWN ALBUMS... THEY SPEAK... OR SING FOR THEMSELVES!...

Advantages: Some great songs Disadvantages: Not a true career retrospective
...duet with Paul McCartney, 'Ebony & Ivory', in which Wonder and McCartney compare the races of black and white to the keys on a piano… the sentiment behind the song is admirable but it is just so slushy and drippy. The lyrics go something like 'Ebony and ivory/Live together in perfect harmony/Side by side on my piano keyboard/Oh lord, why don't we?' and it sounds pretty embarrassing to listen to. It's by McCartney though, so I guess Stevie can be absolved of any blame here. 'Lately' is considered one of Stevie's best ballads but I found it to be dull, limp and uninspiring, while the last four songs to close the album ('Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours', 'For Your Love', 'Kiss Lonely Good-Bye' and 'Redemption Song') I found to be immensely boring and not a patch on the rest of the album. The sleeve notes I also found to be somewhat pompous...

Advantages: It's just fab, fab, FAB Disadvantages: None for me
...17 great StevieWonder ballads on 1 CD. I got a really great bargain when I bought it from Ebay for £3.00 (even though I'd already got it......don't ask, I'm just very stupid and my memory's really bad - I think it must be my age. But at least I've now got one for the house and one for the car)
It contains some of my very favourites - My Cherie Amour, You are the sunshine of my life and Lately to name just 3. AND it has my very very favourite - Stay Gold. What a fab song!
It is, as always, very easy listening with Stevie's usual fantastic harmonies
What a genius this man is. This is a must have for anyone's CD collection....
