Oh, there are so many! As others have said, “Superstition” is tops. And “For Once In My Life”. I’ll also add (since it hasn’t appeared otherwise yet) “Isn’t She Lovely?” It always makes me smile, even more so since I found out it was about his daughter as a baby. ---

Favorite Stevie Wonder single? Though there are many worthy contenders, I gotta go with “Sir Duke.” From the opening fanfare, this is one of the all-time great feel-good records. Honorable mention for a mellower tune goes to the underrated “Overjoyed.” ---

_Superstition_. I don’t care if it’s already been mentioned; Superstition wails. Also _Sir Duke_. ---

Another vote for “I Wish”. When I was a young teen, I’m sure that I would have voted for “Sir Duke”. ---

[Do I Do](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA5KmASP8vE) is the best damned piece of music ever written by anybody. Any suggestion to the contrary simply is not true. Sez me, wit’ 35+ years experience of listening to Stevie Wonder. 🆒 ---

_Overjoyed_ is probably his best. Stevie’s one of those artists who is really good when he’s good…and not when he’s not. For example: Yes: Fingertips Part II Send One Your Love Isn’t She Lovely Superstition I Wish My Cherie Amour No: I just called to say I love you Sir Duke Ebony and Ivory ---

[QUOTE=Kalhoun] I tried to meet my son at the Taste to see Stevie, but I missed the train. TWICE. I guess it wasn’t meant to be this time. He said it was a great show. [/QUOTE] It was amazing. He played for almost three hours and did 30 songs. Almost all of his hits. I’d have to vote for Higher Ground as my favorite. ---

“If You Really Love Me” does it for me, hands down. It’s not so much that it was his best, but more because of the memories it evokes for me. Hearing that song brings me right back to being a little kid, riding in the back of the family '66 Plymouth station wagon on the way to some historical tourist spot for a summer vacation. ---

As Paul Simon said “I’d like to thank Stevie Wonder for not making an album this year.” I can still feel, see, smell, remember every moment on Bayville’s beach, at night, a fire going. Wrapped around my brand new girlfriend, as _Fingertips part ll_ played. Top Three Memory ---

While I love Boogie On Reggae Woman, Superstition, Sir Duke and Master Blaster, gotta go with My Cheri Amor. Anyone remember the SNL skit decades back when Eddie Murphy was playing a record exec, trying to teach a bad Stevie Wonder impersonator (played by Stevie himself) how to sing? Eddie would start _“My Cheri Amor”_ and Stevie would follow, nasaly, badly. This happened a couple of times and then Stevie cut loose with his unbelivable voice. Sweet Jaysus, it gave me chills. Heh, then Eddie tells Stevie “It still sucks, man.” Bwhaaa. ---

Superstition is in my all-time top five, so that has to win. I just heard As yesterday for the first time and was really blown away. But I also have to mention To Know You Is To Love You- I’ve never heard the original and I’m still a huge fan.
