This band is a little strange in that they didn't have a drummer.
But they had a flute & harmonica!

"Goin' back to California
So many good things around
Don't wanna leave California
The sun seems to never go down"

Slow and easy one you chill out to at the end of the day.

And then the album ends with this rocker:

"May seem peculiar
How I think o'you
If you want me, darlin'
Here's what you must do
You gotta give me
'Cause I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move

If you want me darlin'
Take me how you can
I'll be circulating
'Cause that's the way I am
You gotta give me
'Cause I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move "

(pls stay for the harmonica 'skat' at ~ 2 min)

Foot tapping locomotion feel good there.

This song reached number one on the R&B chart and number three on the pop chart. Stevie was 20 years old.

Esteban · 10-03-2021, 08:28 PM

Stevie's fourth number 1 pop hit and his tenth number 1 soul hit.

This song was directed at President Nixon.

Parts of this song sound A LOT like Superstition, or is it just me?

I agree, it does sound similar to Superstition, same structure. But hey, it's his song and if he wants to borrow from it I guess he can. He knows a good thing when he hears it, lol. At least he wasn't plagiarizing someone else's music.

They both were number one hits, btw.

Esteban · 10-04-2021, 01:56 PM

Stevie didn't write these two songs, but he made them great!

The song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, R&B, dance, and adult contemporary charts, becoming Wonder's final number one hit to date. The song's simultaneous chart successes made Wonder the first artist to score a number-one hit on four different Billboard charts.

This is the special 12" version.

Not a criticism, merely an observation. Dream Theater, which I've posted a bit of on this thread, are super guilty of this. As are Canadian metal band Annhilator, which I am also quite fond of.

Lene Lovich put out some fun, catchy pop songs:

Good call on Nick Cave, a true "alternative" artist. This one may be the big hit single from Murder Ballads, but I still love it. It afforded me a new found respect for Kylie Minogue.
