THE MANY FACES OF STEVIE WONDER
Stevie Wonder, -his original name is Steveland Judkins or Steveland Morris was born on May 13 of 1950- is one of the most -beloved American icons and an indisputable genius not only of R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder's heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity; even when he addressed serious racial, social, and spiritual issues (which he did quite often in his prime), or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty, an underlying sense of optimism and hope always seemed to emerge.
In The Many Faces of Stevie Wonder, we will explore both is early works (featuring collaborations with Marvin Gaye and Clarence Paul), and his unmatched catalog -including live performances and fantastic reworks-, plus the vibrant Soul & R&B scene where he emerged triumphant, with songs by The Four Tops, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Otis Redding and more.
With fantastic artwork and remastered sound, The Many Faces of Stevie Wonder is the most recent addition to our Many Faces collection on vinyl format. Remember that the album is not available on streaming platforms!
