[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Poll question: What's the best Stevie Wonder song?

Hmmm.....

What a limited list!

[elperromagico]

1. You Are The Sunshine Of My Life,

though all the above songs are good. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I second that motion...

:hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

2. Golden Lady

I agree that all the other songs are also good.

[dolo amber]

3. Other...I wish

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy...

:bounce:

/me shakes booty...:D

15. ever heard Ice cube's "dumb sh*t"?

It's the hip hop version of I Wish

[NightTrain]

4. Of the songs you listed, I chose "Sir Duke."

Personal favorites that didn't make your poll include "Uptight," "For Once In My Life," "Heaven Help Us All," "You Haven't Done Nothin'," and his very first hit, "Fingertips," among many others.

6. It's hard..

To reduce 40 years of great music to just one song.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Most definately!

I find many Stevie fans say the same when faced with a poll like this!

[newyawker99]

23. I chose Sir Duke too!

:hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. WOO HOO !!! Stevie fans!! - keep posting Others!!

How bout Tuesday Heartbrake?!?!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. You haven't done nothing - that's my vote

:)

[parasim]

9. Superwoman

... but that's probably only because that is precisely what I am listening to at this very moment...

on edit: Well, actually now it's I Love Every Little Thing About You... it is so weird that i was listening to Stevie just as I came upon this thread...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. You go!!

:toast:

[parasim]

13. "big ol' piece a cake..."

:toast:

[Zorra]

10. Master Blaster.

Ya mon.

[oxymoron]

12. I like "My Cherie Amour" and

just about anything from "Songs in the Key of Life"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. Is that not the greatest album ever recorded?

Or is that hyperbole?

[oxymoron]

18. Nope, it's not hyperbole

I agree. That album is absolutely brilliant.

[Missy Vixen]

16. Ribbon In The Sky

or "As".

Then again, there are so many, it's hard to pick just one, isn't it?

17. Not a Stevie Wonder song per se,

but his remake of the Beatles' "We Can Work It Out" kicks MEGA ass.

[Dogmudgeon]

19. I Believe When I Fall In Love ...

... this time it will be forever."

I think that's the name of it.

Art Garfunkel covered it on Breakaway, and that version is nearly as good.

20. Superstition is my favorite...

It's a little darker and harder-edged than most of Stevie's songs.

[Whitacre D_WI]

21. I had to give some love to "Living for the City."

Although "Black Man" may well be my favorite.

[Gildor Inglorion]

22. "I Just Called To Say 'I Love You'"

because it's so damn SWEET! And it's got a catchy tune, too.

[Kat45]

24. "Superstition" is my favorite.

I like Jeff Beck's version of it as well.

[chefgirl]

25. Wow! Tough Choice

I voted 'other' because its a toss up between a few:

Golden Lady
Summer Soft
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
For Once in my Life
Overjoyed

Jeez, I could just go on and on. And to answer a previous poster's question, YES, I do think 'Songs in the Key of Life' is one of the best albums ever recorded. I would say the same of 'Inner Visions' too, though.

26. On my radio show last night, I played "We Can Work It Out."

One of the greatest Beatles covers EVER!!! And Paul McCartney himself said the same thing in a TV interview circa 1974.

[Doc_Technical]

27. Mistra know-it-all.

[non sociopath skin]

28. Way back in the mid-60s when the Motown Revue toured the UK ...

I heard Stevie (still "Little Stevie" in those days) and Clarence Paul, live, duet on "Funny How Time Slips Away" - the best version I've ever heard of one of my favourite songs. There was a live recording on an album but it wasn't a patch on the real thing.

That's the best thing the Wonder Boy ever did, for my money.

29. A shout-out to Saginaw's favorite son

I voted for "Superstition." It's really hard to say what the best Stevie Wonder song is, but that's my favorite.
John
There's a serious push on here in Saginaw to rename a street after Stevie and possibly even erect a statue of him somewhere prominent. I would nominate renaming Johnson Street, which runs past the Civic Center downtown (Stevie played a charity concert for St. Mary's Hospital, where he was born, there) and Johnson continues east through his old neighborhood. Plus, the Civic Center would be a logical place for the statue.
It takes forever for this town to get anything done, but I think this is going to get done.
