In my opinion, I think its fair to say Stevie Wonder is ONE of the greatest black solo artists of all time because HE IS. Marvin and Stevie both.

I love all of Stevie's work I really can't pick one but Songs in the key of life from the list.
Many of Wonder's songs were co-wrote and a lot of the cleverness in the finished product is not owed to the songwriting itself but to the production, which also was not done by Stevie.

Prince on the other hand wrote most everything himself and produced it all too...oh, and often played all the instruments. For me, it's a no brainer: Prince is the victor.
