Hello!

Stevie Wonder has dozens of hits. But I’d like to get to know the best of his lesser-known songs. Which ones would you recommend?

I’m sure it’s more popular than I realized, but I had never heard of Boogie On Reggae Woman until I heard Phish do it. In fact, it wasn’t until someone pointed out that it was a Stevie Wonder cover that I was even aware that it wasn’t a Phish song.

I have to admit, I still like the Phish version better.

Agree, except I’d stretch the “essential” span back to include _Music of My Mind_ and forward to _Songs In the Key of Life_.

The later albums up through _Jungle Fever_ aren’t as essential but they are enjoyable.
