Buyer Reviews :
This is a great single disc collection spanning the career of Stevie Wonder. That being said, how does Motown define 'definitive'? In regards to performers I think of definitive as substantial, significant, and representative of the performer's best work. I mention this in regards to two songs on this collection. First--'Hey Love'--a definitive Stevie wonder song? It is a good song and I like it, but it is certainly not definitive. My choice in place of 'Hey Love' would be 'If you really love me'. Second--while I realize it is unavoidable that it was included on this CD since it was one of Stevie's biggest hits--the song 'I Just Called to say I Love You' is one of the worst songs ever recorded--by anyone. That it was given life by Stevie is painful. Oh well, I can program my CD player to skip track 19 and no harm done. I am thankful that 'Ebony and Ivory' is not included! My choice in place of 'I Just called to say I Love You' would be the excellent 'Ribbon in the Sky'--definately a definitive Stevie Wonder song! Except for these two minor points, I feel the compilers of this set have done an excellent job with the nearly impossible task of summarizing Stevie's career in a single disc. At over 79 minutes, all disc space is utilized. If you are a serious Stevie Wonder fan you most likely already own most of his CD's or the box set 'At the close of a century' (to which I give my highest recommendation!) and may see no point in this single disc. I thought of this but ended up buying it to have in the car--great driving music! For the casual fan, this CD is of great quality and value and highly recommended!
