B-Sides & Beyond Episode 11
Steve Wonder is a Musical Genius!
Everyone knows "Superstition," "Sir Duke," and "I Just Called to Say I Love You." But what about the deep cuts, the forgotten gems, and the revolutionary album tracks that solidified Stevie Wonder's status as a genuine musical genius? In this expansive episode of B-Sides & Beyond, DJ Lenny Live goes on a journey through the vast, incredible, and often overlooked corners of Stevie's catalog.
Live moves beyond the greatest hits collections to explore the fertile creative period known as his "classic era" – the unparalleled run from 1972's *Talking Book* to 1980's *Hotter than July* – and beyond. He'll uncover the sprawling, socially conscious epics from *Innervisions*, the joyous funk experiments on *Fulfillingness' First Finale*, and the ambitious narrative of *Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants."*
Join DJ Lenny as he dive’s into tracks that showcase Stevie not just as a hitmaker, but as a virtuoso harmonica player, a rhythmic innovator, a master of the synthesizer, and a lyrical poet who explored themes of love, social justice, spirituality, and pure, unadulterated joy. So put on your headphones and get ready to hear Stevie Wonder like you never have before. This is the episode for those who think they've heard it all.
