Cranking Up Stevie Wonder

His Musical Legacy in 11 Songs

About this book

The volume on a standard amp goes to 10. But, sometimes, that's just not high enough. Sometimes, you need to rock even harder than that—all the way to 11. Goes to 11 books are short, opinionated introductions to the catalogs of major musical acts through 11 essential songs. Because going over the top is the only answer when it comes to good music.
====
American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder is a trailblazer whose influence can be heard across modern R&B, soul, pop, jazz, and gospel. He's also an inspiration to disabled artists throughout the world: after going blind as a child, he pursued music passionately and blossomed into one of the most important composers and performers in history. Still going strong after decades in the spotlight, he remains one of the best-selling musical artists of all time.
From "Superstition" to "So What the Fuss," Cranking Up Stevie Wonder provides a whirlwind tour of 11 essential Stevie Wonder tracks. It covers every era of his output—early hits, genre experiments, late-career highlights—exploring the irresistible alchemy that keeps Wonder's music forever at our fingertips.
