Stevie Wonder - 1973-03-04 - Berkeley, CA (SBD)

It would be hard to argue that any black artist had more influence on rock music in the mid 1970s than Stevie Wonder.  In fact, Wonder may have been the most influential musician period, regardless of race, color or gender. In late 1972, he released the album Talking Book, which went to #3 on the Billboard charts and in 1973, yielded two #1 singles, Superstition and You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. Over the next 4 years, Wonder would release the albums Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs In The Key of Life.  The first of that trio would hit #4 on the Billboard charts, while the last 2 would both climb to #1.  All 3 would win the Grammy for Album of The Year! Those discs produced 7 top 20 singles, including 3 more #1's, You Haven't Done Nothing, I Wish and Sir Duke. This soundboard recording captures Wonder just as You Are The Sunshine Of My Life was being released,  on March 4, 1973, 4 decades go today. Download this one to hear Stevie at the beginning of his remarkable run dominating the pop charts in the 1970s.
