    All great songs. "If You Really Love Me" comes from 1971 when he got to put out his first album with full creative control (Where I'm Coming From). His then-wife Syreeta Wright sings the backup vocals there. He plays everything but the horns on that one as he does on "Superstition" which was the hit that truly launched him into the stratosphere.

    Stevie wrote 'Superstition' for Jeff Beck, but I believe Jeff had an accident and while he was recovering, Stevie released it himself. Jeff didn't get around to it 'til he formed Beck Bogert and Appice(pron.?), I'd recommend looking for a live version. I saw them in '72 in Toronto and bought a pristine sounding double live in Japan LP a few years later.
    Always a fave at rock and blues jams too.
    What's not to love and wonder(🙄) in astonishment at Stevie's superb songwriting and musicianly chops?

Don't hesitate to discover his classic albums from the 70s "Music of my Mind", "Talking Book", "Innervisions", "Fulfilingness First finale" or "Songs in the key of Life" his artistic peak. You will still have great discoveries and surprises knowing that he is the original author.

Dancing onstage by more artists,, Stevie jumps up and riffs, SRV is wearing a CAPE, for God's sakes...it is the Wikipedia definition of FIRE.

    Boogie On Reggae Woman
    I Wish
    Both are hits and both are bangers. And the first one was so revolutionary for the time. For me when I heard it as a little kid on the radio, it was just like what you were describing with Superstition.

    "Innervisions" is my favorite Stevie Wonder album from his "classic period." His classic period began in 1972 with the releases of "Music of My Mind" and "Talking Book", the latter featuring "Superstition", which is one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard, "Innervisions" (1973), "Fulfillingness' First Finale" (1974) and "Songs In the Key of Life" (1976).
    I'm hoping that your next Stevie segment incudes the amazing "Higher Ground" from Innervisions. You may know the famous cover by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. 😀
    To be honest, all the above albums are just great!!!

    Most songs before the late '60s were 3 minutes or less. Top 40 AM radio stations wouldn't play anything longer. Then the Album Oriented Rock (AOR) format debuted on FM stereo stations. Some stations, such as KSHE 95 FM in St. Louis, allowed the DJs to play whatever song they felt like, any length, even whole album sides. Their only limit was that they had to say the station ID at least once every hour.
