For some reason I loved this song enough to want the record. I was 13. It's still awesome, though not quite as sparkly as I felt it was back then. |

"From the moment Stevie Wonder launched into Sir Duke, his performance was a miracle - a joyful signifier of the success of an ideological revolution. Fumigating the East Room with love and musical spirituality, the music legend roused the multiracial, multigenerational crowd to euphoria." -Keith Mayerson writing in Artforum, December 2009. By the way, missing a important songs of Stevie Wonder on the RP playlist, called "Overjoyed". The song was written first for the 1979 album Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, but was left off the album, and re-recorded for the album "In Square Circle" (1985). The reason why I emphasize this song here, is because of the beautiful melody, lyrics, and also the high feeling of Stevie in interpreting. I think that although this song was initially excluded from publication, was always present in the mind of Stevie, who insisted with determination to be published again in new album, after six years, may, inclusive, the lyrics have been inspired the singer's personal life. Stevie still includes this song in their live performances. Impact Stevie´s music: |

musman May 11, 2012 - 22:32 | This super hit has a small rating ! 8,5 or 9 !!! |
bev Mar 09, 2012 - 10:22 | Haters be gone. Stevie Wonder is truly classic, and this tune AND this album are genius. (Bill is following up with a Duke Ellington tune today, and it's simply fabulous!) |
mmmyes Mar 09, 2012 - 10:17 | Overplayed, trite, etc etc |
TJS Mar 09, 2012 - 10:16 | I never knew the name of this song, but I've always thought it is a very fun song. 9. |
