I’d like more stars to award this - quite a round robin of greats…
Thanks @AbsoluteUte for the Stevie Wonder reminder… He’s one of my favorite artists of all time but for some reason I forget about him 'til someone else brings him up. He always had great vocals, great musicians, great arrangements, great performances, and great tunes, either his or others.
So I’ve just finished some of my favorite oldies of his (one old enough to be considered “Little” Stevie Wonder)

Apparently he was 23 when he wrote and produced Innervisions. Remarkable talent.
Here’s a quick excerpt from Wikipedia:
As with many of Wonder’s albums, the lyrics, composition and production of Innervisions are almost entirely his own work, with the ARP used prominently throughout the album. The instrument was a common motif among musicians of the time because of its ability to construct a complete sound environment. Wonder also played all or virtually all instruments on six of the album’s nine tracks, making most of Innervisions a representative one-man band

The new Archspire album comes out this week, really looking forward to it.
This drummer is absolutely inhuman. What he does in just the first 30 seconds of the song blows my mind.
