The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.
Two or three elpees proceeding this record and had more than hinted that the child prodigy was champing at the bit to be completely free to express himself after years of being a Motown asset rather than a serious artist.
Usually overshadowed by (the admittedly brilliant) Innervisions (1973), this, to me, is the better album.

You'll love it.
It's got Nigel Tufnell on.

Is this Stevie Wonder? It doesn't sound like his voice.

I always forget that this song starts with singers other than Wonder.

It's more Girl from Ipanema than I remember.
He sounds like Alison Foyer.

A very lightweight intro to the album.

The rest of the album isn't really like this.
It gets much more funky.
