[For Beginners] Songs in the Key of Love: A Collection of Stevie Wonder’s Masterpieces

You And IStevie Wonder

You And I

It’s a piano-and-synth solo number by Stevie.

The piano is, of course, fantastic, but the use of synthesizers transports you to another dimension.

That aspect, I think, is what makes him a once-in-a-generation artist.

Stevie’s harmonica had a really nice touch to it.

In any case, everyone made superb use of their respective instruments, and it was enjoyable as a show as well.

I also felt the dramatic appeal of the piece “Spain.” This, too, was a professional job.

I’m impressed!
