6. Songs in the Key of Life is his most balanced synergy of spirituality, romance, and politics. Musically, Wonder combines immediate melodies with more complex orchestration than he had on previous albums. Triumphant horns introduce the euphoric "Sir Duke," while a funky organ melody underpins the Grammy-winning single "I Wish."Brand: Motown.

7. If this is how Stevie Wonder intended Songs In The Key of Life to sound, he's more of a genius than I thought. Cleaned up and reinvigorated is all I can say. "Pastime Paradise, "Summer Soft," "Knocks Me Off My Feet" and "If It's Magic" take on new beauty as ballads. "As," "Another Star" and "Black Man" ooze with new energy/5().
