designed and conceived the best album that's ever graced my ears, mind and soul

certainly one of the best that has ever graced my ears, heart, mind and soul too.

oh btw we should talk about that 'soul' part in your post? *giggle* all chemical reactions and neurons and transmitters working there or is it by all means maybe more than that?

i just bought his number ones album yesterday, superstition is my favourite - such a funky tune

[Superstition]

Also, Jackson 5 did the backing vocals on "You Haven't Done Nothin'".

You can hear Stevie say "Jackson 5 help me sing it, say Doo-do-wop!"

My favorite album is Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants. It was a soundtrack for a documentary about plant life. Here's a few songs from it

Send One Your Love

I love Power Flower and Race Babbling. Race Babbling was way ahead of it's time, it sounded like 90's house music, and this was back in '79, I think.

Yes this album came out in 79. As far as I know, Power Flower is the only time he's sung in falsetto. Also this is the only period he went without sunglasses. I have the LP and it has this flowery scent in it. It's still there, even after all this time, but not as strong though. The cover also has the title in raised Braille, which is not on the CD version.

Oh yeah, something you may not have known:

On "Let's Get Serious" (Jermaine Jackson's song), The "S-E-R-I-O-U-S, Baby let's get serious!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaaaaah!"...

That was actually Stevie singing the bridge, not Jermaine.

Stevie also plays harmonica on
There Must Be An Angel ~ Eurythmics
Brand New Day ~ Sting
You ~ The McCary's
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues ~ Elton John
I Feel For You ~ Chaka Khan feat Melle Mel (This also has a little sample of Fingertips)
Into You ~ Gloria Estefan (also does some ad-libs)

[arXter]

also obsessed with his various work for Minnie Riperton. just flawless - love the stuff.

[Superstition]

He also co-wrote "Tears Of A Clown" for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

Played harmonica on "Once Were Lovers" and "I Know" with Luther Vandross.

The song "My Love Is On Fire" by Stevie was originally written by Stevie for Luther.

Luther sang backup vocals on "Part-Time Lover". You can hear him singing that scat-style at the end of the track.

[troubleman84]

Stevie had another period where he went without glasses (the first half of 1989).

He had them back on by the end of the year though, lol.

Happy Birthday, Stevland!

Music of My Mind, Talking Book and Innervisions are probably his greatest works.

[Superstition]

Stevie singing "We Are The World" solo. Good quality.
