The Genius Taking Form
This was the 1st album where you could start seeing the transition that was taking place in his career. I just received a copy of this cd after having long since worn out the album, 8-track & cassette, ok, so i dated myself.

He was 20 and his contract with Motown was about to expire, he knew that the time had come to begin taking the steps necessary to become the Avatar he was soon to become. This album is a wonderful example of that transition period and of course was produced by the master himself.

Great songs and a tight funky groove through and through, after this album, Stevie would enter into a period of unmatched musical & lyrical brilliance. This is a great starting point for anyone just beginning their journey into the wonder world of this musical legend.


ALMOST THERE
THE MAN JUST OOZES TALENT, AND HAS SINCE HE WAS 11 YEARS OLD. FIRST OF ALL, ANY STEVIE WONDER THAT WAS RELEASED BEFORE 1980 IS A CLAWSSIC ALBUM, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, END OF DISCUSSION. THIS ALBUM FINDS STEVIE REALLY STARTING TO FIND HIS OWN VOICE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, HE HAD RECORDED A LOT OF GREAT MATERIAL BEFORE THIS, BUT HERE HE IS FINALLY STARTING TO BREAK OUT, AND THIS ALBUM IS THE PRECURSOR TO "MUSIC OF MY MIND", "TALKING BOOK", INNERVISIONS", AND OTHER GREAT ONES TO COME OUT AFTER. .


the beginning
A new style starts here. The best beatles cover ever(we can work it out). Stevie Wonder began to let us here whats inside of him. the piano intro from we can work it out morhs into Superstition & again into higher ground can you here it?.


Stevie Wonder At The Crossroads
But listening to this album even so 'Signed Sealed Delivered' is a transitional recording. I am almost a Stevie Wonder completist,strictly on the basis I think most of his music is brilliant. "Never Had A Dream Come True" starts of the album and it has the same musical sound as standard Funk Brothers-style Motown but more of Wonder's individual flair for melody comes through. The exact same thing happens on "I Gotta Have A Song" and "Sugar",which is a more uptempo song. Some of the songs here are pure varitations on the classic title song like the quircky "I Can't Let My Heaven Walk Away" but the two tracks that stand right out are "Heaven Help Us All",Wonder's first self written stab at political commentary with very heavy gospel overtones. This album could hardly be called a brilliant masterstroke because Stevie Wonder was still working the last remaining threads of his assembly line-type Motown style music out of his system and this happens on a significant number of cuts. But when he whips his funky clavinet out on the grooving version of "You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover" the times for Wonder are a-changin'.


Excellent
I love the following songs with a passion: I Gotta Have A Song, Heaven Help Us All, Something To Say (very catchy little tune), We Can Work It Out (Beatles classic which he made all his own). This album is fantastic. .

Buy this CD. You will not be dissapointed.
