Stevie Wonder

In class, some people got super bored and tired of Stevie Wonder, but I was loving every bit of it. He just had such a cool and funky sound, but at the same time he could change to a song that would be inspired by Pau l McCartney or John Lennon, and I loved the mix of those two styles. Another thing I thought was super weird was the the song "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith was actually using samples from Stevie Wonder's "I wish". I had never heard Stevie Wonder's song but I am in love with "Wild Wild West" so it was pretty awesome to hear where it came from. As for the rest of his albums, I mostly like the songs that are more Beatlesey and not as much funk but then again when some funk came on I was getting super into it. Especially "Superstition" because I actually knew that song and just was finally starting to appreciate it. My favorite songs by Stevie Wonder were "You and I", "Big Brother", and "I Wish". But my absolute favorite is "I Believe". I don't know what it is about that song but I am seriously in love with it and it made me love Stevie Wonder like a thousand times more. It's the perfect mix but then he adds his classic funk at the end and ties off the song perfectly. So I really enjoyed Stevie Wonder a bunch.
