Stevie Wonder - 1975-03-13 - Toronto, Canada (SBD)

Perhaps no artist's star burned brighter in the 1970s than that of Stevie Wonder. Between October 1972 and October 1979, he released 5 albums, all of which cracked the top 5 on the Billboard charts,  Two of those, Fulfillingness' First Finale in July 1974 and Songs In The Key of Life in September 1976, went all the way to number 1. While Innervisions, released in 1973, "only" reached the #4 spot on the charts, many critics and fans cite it as  perhaps his finest work. The album spawned two hit singles in Higher Ground, which went to #4 on the Billboard charts, and Living In The City, which reached the #8 position. Innervisions won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. The album’s lasting impact is evidenced by it being ranked #23 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.  This soundboard recording captures Stevie on tour in 1975 after the releases of Innervisions and Fulfillingness' First Finale, on March 13, 1975, 44 years ago today.  In some ways, it was a miracle he was up on stage. Just 3 days after release of Innervisions, Stevie was involved in a devastating car accident in North Carolina, while traveling north after a concert the day before. The accident left him in a coma for 4 days and had fans wondering if Innervisions would be the last work from this legend. Fortunately, he recovered, though he did lose his sense of smell as a result of the injuries he suffered.
