I just recently got into Stevie Wonder when a friend added the song 'I dont know why' from this album to a mix CD she made me. I instantly loved it. It took me back to the true R&B tunes I used to love when I was growing up and I just found myself unable to stand still. This is dangerous if you are listening to it on an IPOD on the bus!

Anyone who has never heard Stevie Wonders music, is really missing out. There is something really sweet and soulful about his music, his voice and his lyrics. His voice is smooth and innocent and it simply is irresistable. I know that some people have the idea that Stevie Wonder is cheesy and yeah I guess he is but its that kind of cheesy that is very sincerely sweet and I dont think anyone could slate him once they heard him.

The Ablum was originally released 1968 by Motown records but is still totally applicable today. This really will transport you back to those old motown days and as far as I am concerned, this is the cream of the motown crop. It has 12 tracks (listed below), each one better than the next as far as I am concerned and much better than the 'Best of' compilations you can get. With mellow songs like 'Sunny' lifting your spirits and the harmonica that is Stevies trademark sound, even a really grey day can be improved with this album.

1) For Once In My Life
2) Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day
3) You Met Your Match
4) I Wanna Make Her Love Me
5) I'm More Than Happy (I'm Satisfied)
6) I Dont Know Why
7) Sunny
8) I'd Be A Fool Right Now
9) Ain't No Lovin
10) God Bless The Child
11) Do I Love Her
12) The House On The Hill

Summary: Truelly brilliant, sweet and magical. A real gem.
