 (7 Customer Reviews)
In 1961, discovered by Ronnie White of the Miracles, he was signed by Berry Gordy of Motown Records. His voice broke in 1964 but he re-emerged in 1965 with a worldwide hit, 'Uptight (Everything's Alright)'. His contract expired in 1971 and Wonder ... Full Descriptionfinanced two experimental albums, playing almost all instruments. He pioneered the synthesizer's use in black music, and addressed racial and spiritual questions. Where I'm Coming From and Music Of My Mind put him at the forefront of black music. Talking Book (1972) provided hits with 'Superstition' and 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life'. Innervisions (1973) consolidated his success while Talking Book gave the hits, 'Living For The City' and 'Higher Ground'. Songs In The Key Of Life (1976), perhaps his most ambitious album, displayed musical virtuosity. The highly successful Hotter Than July (1980) included a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, 'Happy Birthday', and a study in reggae, 'Masterblaster (Jamming)'. After Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I (1982), Wonder composed The Woman In Red (1984). It included his biggest-selling single, 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'. In Square Circle (1985) and Characters (1987) returned to accessible melody. Wonder's image as a statesman of black music, and champion of black rights, was boosted by his successful campaign in the 80s to mark the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King with a national holiday.

| | Softly With These Songs: The Best Of Roberta Flack CD (1993)
Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection songs
$15.15
Digitally remastered collection of one of the best ballad singers the U.S. ever produced. Roberta Flack was originally a D.C. music teacher before she rose to Top 40 prominence in the early 1970's with the arresting single "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". It's quiet and solitude flew in the face of those glam days and started Flack on a long, prosperous career. The follow up single "Killing Me Softly (With His Song)" further solidified her pop credentials, as it stayed at #1 for months. This volume includes all her chart hits and duets of that era as well as her 80's and 90's hits, where she hit the Top Ten once more in a duet with reggae star Maxi Priest on "Set The Night To Music". Renewed attention came her way with the Fugee's cover of "Killing Me Softly" topping the charts again near the end of the 90's with Flack giving the cover her blessing and even performing with the band live. She is lady of grace, class & ...

Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection CD music
$10.85 
The first pressings of THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION included a bonus disc featuring rare tracks.
Although Lionel Richie was AWOL for most of the '90s, he's still a pop culture force to be reckoned with, and THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION ably supports this assertion. Between his work as a frontman for The Commodores, songwriter for other artists, and as a solo act, Richie became the only songwriter to score nine chart-toppers in nine consecutive years. Aside from Kenny Rogers' "Lady" and USA For Africa's "We Are The World," (co-written with Michael Jackson), all the other #1's are here: "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross), "Truly," "Hello," "All Night Long (All Night)," "Say You, Say Me," "Still" and "Three Times A Lady." That's not even counting ...
