The 4-CD set AT THE CLOSE OF A CENTURY is a chronological history of Stevie Wonder's commercial successes. The first CD documents his early Motown years on tracks that emphasize his frenetic singing and superb harmonica playing. The songs taken from MUSIC OF MY MIND, his first fully written and produced effort, show significant vocal development. CDs two and three include material from INNERVISIONS, SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE, and TALKING BOOK, a creative period that is considered Wonder's strongest. It is on these cuts that Wonder uses his most varied production techniques and instrumentation to share his vivid creative spirit. The fourth disc continues with pop hits recorded during the '80s and '90s, beginning with three songs he recorded for MUSIQUARIUM, and concluding with his duet with Babyface, "How Come, How Long." Disc four should surprise listeners who may remember only "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from Wonder's '80s work. Tracks like "Overjoyed" and "Ribbon in the Sky" make clear that Wonder had far more than one great song during the period. This box set is a great introduction to Stevie Wonder, and even after listening to all four discs in succession, fans will be left wanting more.

Report this review If your a fan...THIS IS A MUST IN YOUR COLLECTION!Review created: 05/30/07 by: My first favorite Stevie Wonder song was "My Cherie Amour" back in 1969-70 when I was only 4 years old. My older brother and sisters had one of "Stevie's very first greatest hits of the 60's" and his "My Cherie Amour" albums that I listened to over and over again. Since then, I've followed Stevie's music over the decades. He's a unique, one of a kind, gifted artist that there is no comparison to. His powerful emotion comes across time and time again throughout this fantastic collaboration of talented work. My personal favorite song today is "Superwoman-where were you when I needed you?" I also favor the albums "Songs in the key of life", "The secret life of plants","Hotter than July", and "Musiquarium" (1977 through 1983). Although this collection is broad and pretty much covers all of his more popular hits, myself as a true Stevie Wonder fan will always find a few songs that I feel could have been added (the collection could have easily been a 7 to 8 CD set). I hope you decide to pursue this collection. Simply put... It is timeless music. Review ID: 10000000003650718 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
