Innervisions and Songs in the key of life are filled humanity. Real people playing real instruments (mostly him). Today's artists need to make a big sound and when you hear their music they all have a wall of sound coming at you. Things are added to make the inferior songwriting sound good. Especially pop music. He was once pop music. Much better.

Strangely enough he hasn't learned Higher Ground. As great a bassist he is, he's only just starting to delve into the slap/pop technique - he has always played fingerstyle. I mean Higher Ground doesn't need to be slapped, but it is the standard beginner's slap/pop song, so I guess that's why he hasn't learned it yet.

I really like most of Stevie Wonder's work, he has to be one of the most talented artists of his era, having said that one album he did that I can't recommend is "The Secret Life Of Plants"...I tried half a dozen times to try and find something I liked about it,,,but never did. I should add that it was a double album soundtrack so maybe my expectations were too high to begin with.

Thanks for the proper album name, I was too lazy to look it up and it's been over 20 years since it bought the album, it may have been a brilliant concept, but it did not make a lasting impression on me anyway,,,I like the 3 albums I already listed and consider Journey... to be his least accessible work, if you are a die hard collector then maybe a case could be made to include this one in your collection.
