A lush, energetic recording, FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE sees "Little" Stevie Wonder singing a workout's worth. Not to be confused with the more broadly creative Stevie of later years, this is the vintage singing-sensation Stevie. It's a thrill to hear. While the studio instrumentation is standard fare for the time, Wonder plays happily off the backing with saucily bent notes and hearty falsettos that make these pop tunes wail.
The overdubbed vocal harmonies on tunes like "You Met Your Match" make for the kind of hard-grooving hooks that would populate many other Wonder albums to come. "I'm More Than Happy" is a sweet, slow treat with a conga-pumped feel akin to many Marvin Gaye cuts of the same period. While the sultry wash of strings seems at times to push Stevie to more fervent singing, its absence elsewhere allows for more of his subtleties to emerge. A silvery solo on the harp lends a welcome touch to the plus-size arrangement of "God Bless The Child." The former Little Stevie wants to take you to a world of funky Motown lovin'--why not let him?

Like other albums to follow, Stevie wrote the vast majority of the material on MUSIC OF MY MIND. Compared to his studio work of three years prior, this music feels worlds away in many senses. That which was grand, conventional and bounteous is replaced with a feel that is at once personal, progressive and downscaled. Performing almost entirely ...
| | Stevie Wonder Innervisions CD (1973) Remastered
For Once In My Life MP3 Album
$10.45  (MP3 Available for Download)
After breaking away from the Motown singles mode, Wonder began creating albums that were visionary in concept, sound, and construction. The greatest of these is 1973's INNERVISIONS (1976's SONG IN THE KEY OF LIFE was also an indisputable masterpiece, yet it lacks the economy and focus of INNERVISIONS). Moving largely away from romantic themes (the beautiful "Golden Lady" is the exception), Wonder tackles the socio-cultural landscape of 1970s America, including drugs, urban life, and crooked politicians, in addition to questions of identity, faith, and idealism.
The album is also more musically ambitious than anything Wonder had attempted before. "Too High," the album's opener, has a buoyant, jazzy feel with a subtly ...

Stevie sings out on a seamless array of love declarations ("Creepin") and social protestations ("You Haven't Done Nothin"). The melodies are simple and evocative, spiced with jazzy harmonies. Between his gentle clavinet work and his inspired synth romps, the man's got a great keyboard palette, and he surely knows how to use it. Throughout, Stevie provides excellent interplay between ...

For Once In My Life CD music
$14.79 (MP3 Available for Download)
Trombone player Wycliffe Gordon plays from his gospel roots on this CD entitled The Gospel Truth, released in the year 2000. Gordon grew up in a gospel church in his home state of Georgia. His father was the church pianist, assuring that his son's home and church life were filled with religious music. The gospel church musical experience draws on diverse elements, from traditional spirituals and hymns to blues to jazz, played on a variety of instruments and sung by voices dedicated to praising the Lord. It is no wonder, then, that Gordon sounds right at home with this music -- he is. Joining him on the album are trumpeter Marcus Printup and pianist Eric Reed, Reuben Rogers on bass, Winard Harper on drums, and Victor Goines on clarinet. These jazzmen are in a gospel mode, in which they are joined by a daughter of the church, Carrie Smith, on vocals. Together, they create a praise service that features traditional hymns, contemporary gospel tunes, and original compositions by Gordon. Listeners who love that old-time religion may especially enjoy "Jesus Loves Me," "The Lord's Prayer," "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and "Take My Hand, Precious Lord." Gordon is quick to acknowledge that his talents are God-given, and he shows it, on "The Hallelujah Scat," "The Deacon's Moan," and the title cut, as he turns his trombone into an instrument of praise. Victor Goines follows that lead as he plays a soulful rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Reed and Printup, Harper and Rogers are right on in their sensitive and joyous contributions to the recording. The most outstanding cut on this great album may be the selection that features all the musicians. Led by the mighty voice of Smith, the entire group sings and plays on the inspirational "There's ...

For Once In My Life MP3 Album
$6.39
APOCALYPSE '91-THE ENEMY STRIKES BLACK finds Strong Island's finest plying their raucous, angry trade once again, as unapologetic as ever. Their place in rap history was long secured by 1991, but the trio doesn't waste a second resting on its laurels--the album's opening salvo, "Lost At Birth" is militant and severe, introducing them as the "prophets of rage." Chuck D's no-nonsense delivery ...
