He doesn’t sing on it, and had a hand in writing just two of its nine songs. Wonder’s first album, in 1962, was titled The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie. Thanks to Ken Shane for putting that together. Note: All the songs are also being compiled in a Spotlify playlist that is embedded at the end of this post. This post will be updated daily until I’m done.
So here we go, starting with the first post, from Feb. I’ll include music from some anthologies, live albums, collaborative projects, etc., but not necessarily all. The ground rules are the same as they were in the prior series: I’m not saying each song is the “best” from the album, just a song that I like and want to share. I am now doing the same for Stevie Wonder, and will compile them here. Starting last year, I’ve done series of Facebook posts on favorite songs from Elvis Costello and Lou Reed albums - one album a day.
