Stevie Wonder's highly anticipated new album, A Time To Love, arrives as a wake-up call to the restorative powers of love, and, according to Stevie, the timing couldn't be better.
The songs tethered during this era, from "Superstition," and "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life," to "Living In The City," from "Higher Ground," to "You Haven't Done Nothin'," from "Boogie On Reggae Woman," to "I Wish" and "Sir Duke," confirmed Wonder's status as a national treasure.

There really isn't a song here that couldn't have been a hit with the proper publicity department push, but the ones that got the nudge, "Higher Ground," "Living For The City" and "Don't You Worry Bout A Thing" all tore up the charts and are still classic rock radio staples.
Stevie Wonder's career has been up and down ever since, with commercial highs like the McCartney duet, "Ebony And Ivory," and lulls of inactivity that allowed the public to forget he was out there at all.

You've probably heard Stevie's solo on "Isn't She Lovely," but you may not be familiar with my favorite Wonder composition of all, "Knocks Me Off My Feet," which combines a simple theme with flights of incredibly harmonic sophistication, firmly anchored on Earth by a solid drum hook on the chorus.
The record is too long and Stevie is still indulging himself in tedious jams, plus he's gone overboard with 80s electronic kitsch such as drum machines (why would one of the hottest drummers on the planet have to resort to such a gimmick?).

A premature infant, he was put on oxygen treatment in an incubator; likely it was an excess of oxygen that exacerbated a visual condition known as retinopathy of prematurity, causing his blindness.
His far-reaching influence was felt in the neo-soul movement that came to prominence in the late '90s, and he also remained a composer of choice for jazz artists looking to incorporate harmonically sophisticated pop/R&B tunes into their repertoires.
