Home / Soul & R&B / Songs in the Key of Life
A double album of staggering range and generosity, the centrepiece of Wonder's golden run. Funk, jazz, ballads and social commentary all sit comfortably together. Exhaustive, joyous and essential. Released in 1976, it's one of Stevie Wonder's later high points.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
