This Is A "Desert Island Disc"

Advantages: 80% of it is genius.
Disadvantages: 20% is just good.

...especially like his ballads and love songs. There are loads of them on this 20 track gem of an album. My Cherie Amour is just ultra smooth and melodic. Yester-me, Yester-you, Yester-day is impossible not to sing along to. Never Had A Dream Come True is classic soul. If You Really Loved Me has a 70s feel and is one of the highlights. Never Had A Dream Come True is superb and has an all time great intro to it. A Place In The Sun is quite mellow but ...
...Lover Her is a great love song and has harmonica on it. I Don't Know Why I Love Her is a slightly darker kind of love song. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours oozes natural rhythm. These are the highlights but all of the tracks are excellent. This review is also posted on www.dooyoo.co.uk under my user name eyedo6789 ...

Review of Love Songs - 20 Classic Hits - Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder - so good I bought it twice!!

Advantages: It's just fab, fab, FAB
Disadvantages: None for me

17 great Stevie Wonder 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 - ...

Review of Ballad Collection - Stevie Wonder

WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR'E REALLY BLIND

Advantages: GREAT MUSIC,GREAT LYRICS
Disadvantages: NOT ENOUGH RECENT PRODUCTIONS

IT IS WHEN YOU HEAR ALBUMS OF THIS GENRE, THAT YOU REALISE THAT DETAILS OF THE ARTIST ARE WELL AND TRUELY TRUE. HAVING SEEN STEVIE PERFORM AMNY TIMES... I ONCE TRIED TO CON MYSELF INTO BELIEVING THAT STEVIE COULD ACTUALLY SEE... AND THAT HIS BLINDNESS WAS ALL A CON... BUT ITS WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM THAT I REALISE THAT ONLY A BLIND ARTIST COULD POSSIBLY HAVE PRODUCED IT. I AM NOT TRYING TO BE FECECIOUS, ITS JUST THAT EVERYONE HAS A TALLENT ...

Review of In Square Circle - Stevie Wonder

A Song Review

Advantages: Good music which shows Stevie Wonder’s different styles.
Disadvantages: Differences of opinion about greatest hits.

...to think that if a song is commercially good, it probably isn’t musically good.) Instead, I want to tell you about the tracks on this album and let you decide whether it is worth buying. One thing I am sure about is that there is no rubbish on this album. The tracks, to me, are either good or brilliant, therefore, I give the album 5 stars. A wide range of music influenced Stevie as he grew up including Gospel, Jazz, Reggae, and Motown. All of these ...
...Ivory (Paul McCartney) and Redemption Song (Bob Marley). The album starts off with the ballad ISN’T SHE LOVELY, where as an obviously very proud father, Stevie thanks God for the birth of his baby. When Stevie isn’t singing on this track, he is playing the harmonica. I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU, a good ballad for smooching to, is Motown's biggest selling single in the UK. I find the strong beat of SUPERSTITION haunting, while Stevie sings, ...

Review of Song Review (The Very Best Of Stevie Wonder) - Stevie Wonder

Wonderful!

Advantages: Classic songs
Disadvantages: Track 18 still makes little sense to me

...mix of funky tunes, love songs and political messages. Here's a list of tracks on the vinyl version. 1. Love's In Need Of Love Today 2. Have A Talk With God 3. Village Ghetto Land 4. Confusion 5. I Am Singing 6. If It's Magic 7. As 8. Another Star 9. I Wish 10. Knocks Me Off My Feet 11. Pastime Paradise 12. Summer Soft 13. Ordinary Pain 14. Isn't She Lovely 15. Joy Inside My Tears 16. Black Man 17. Sir Duke 18. Ngiculela es una ...
...possibly one of the best songs ever written, in my opinion. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. It's such a great track to (try) and sing along to. "Have A Talk With God" is about suicide and this shows Stevie's more than just an average soul singer, weighed down in sentimentality. "Black Man" and "Village Ghetto Land" also demonstrate his social conscience. The album cover is a swirling orange effect, with the title disappearing down what ...
