 Guardian | Songs in the key of life
The song Walk the Dog and Light the Light, the title track from the last album released during her lifetime, is a beauty, and so is the wonderful Companion, from her 1989 Live at the Bottom Line set.
Several songs on which she deploys the band - notably Sweet Dream Fade, Gardenia Talk, Don't Hurt Child and the title tune - have the informal feeling of very superior demos, and are all the better for the lack of sweetening.
Her songs were drawn from her life, which should be all that we need to know.

 Question about Stevie's "Songs In The Key of Life"
Actually I can't disagree...while I do think Songs In the Key of Life is a Classic, I like his period with Cecil and Margouleff and the TONTO at Electric Lady better: from Music Of My Mind through Talking Book, Innervisions and most Of Fulfillingness's First Finale...
Such a great song, and it originally wasn't even part of the double album, but one of four additional songs thrown in.
SITKOL came out the year I was born, actually there were ALOT of great albums that came out that year, so as a little quirk I hold those albums in extra high regard.

 Observer | Love songs in the key of life
The flowery and sickly text of the songs, sensuously set by Novak, speaks of the overwhelming power of love.
But there are danger signals in these songs, too, and Kozena was particularly effective in the second of the cycle where she was required to speak the last word of the last line: 'Love is like a star: it fades'.
The evening formed part of the Prom's Back to Bohemia theme and so alongside the post-Romantic Songs of Love we had examples by Prague contemporaries of Mozart, including Myslivecek, whose fiery aria 'Che non mi disse un di!' gave Kozena a chance to show off her formidable, effortless technique.

Although he discusses a range of topics, two issues that Neal revisits frequently throughout Song in the Key of Black Life are those of economics and identity.
At one point, he cites Hattie McDaniel's remark that "she would rather play a maid in film than be a maid in real life" (59) to emphasize the precarious situation that African American women, then and now, navigated and are still negotiating in the entertainment industry--an industry dominated principally by wealthy white males.

Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of Stevie Wonder's career.
He sings about his childhood in songs like "I Wish" and "Easy Goin' Evening", his heroes in "Sir Duke", the birth of his daughter in "Isn't She Lovely" and while "Contusion" is an instrumental the title is a reference to the life-threatening auto accident he was involved in.
True, the first songs are slower in pace, but I'd hardly consider it a "slow start." More like: Stevie eases you into a place that you're going to be (and want to be) for a long time (at two LPs and an EP - this really is an epic).

Two-plus years passed after 1974's Fulfillingness' First Finale, an eternity in R&B. But when he delivered Songs in the Key of Life, a double-album with a bonus EP included, there was no doubt that the wait was worth it.
Celebrating childhood ("I Wish"), jazz ("Sir Duke"), and the beginnings of life itself ("Isn't She Lovely"), Songs in the Key of Life was a powerhouse — a rare moment when a master was faced with a new level of pressure, and responded by taking his game to new heights.

The opening "Love's in Need of Love Today" and "Have a Talk With God" are curiously subdued, but Stevie soon kicks into gear with "Village Ghetto Land," a fierce exposé of ghetto neglect set to a satirical baroque synthesizer.
If all this sounds overwhelming, it is; Stevie Wonder had talent to spare during the mid-'70s, and instead of letting the reserve trickle out during the rest of the decade, he let it all go with one massive burst.

The musicianship is exceptional all around and Wonder really stretches the songs out here but doesn't waste a note.
My sentimental favorite is his tribute to Ellington in "Sir Duke," as that song got much play in my household when I was a lad, but there's not a bad track in the lot.
While it's a shame that much of Stevie's latest work has paled in comparison to the absolutely stunning quality of his stuff from the 60s through the late 70s, the legacy of that work is enough to give any musician pause.

Hearing the story of Anna and Donald Womack, the thought arises that their union was written in the stars.
Not necessarily in the flowery, romantic sense, though when they recollect their life, there are shared warm glances and a quiet pride in each other.
Rather, there's a sense of destiny in the story itself, of two lives that bear such uncanny similarity, their union seems a foregone conclusion, a cosmic eventuality.

Pop and soul meld perfectly on a sprawling, indulgent and utterly brilliant double explosion of inspiring songs that stand as a testament to the hope and dreams of the '70s.
