In this latest Classic Pop Special Edition we celebrate the unrivalled career of Stevie Wonder, the Modern Soul revolutionary who scored his first No. 1 hit, touted as the '12 Year Old Genius'.
Across 132 pages, we track Wonder's life and career through the decades, from those early days as Motown's bright hope, through his peerless 'classic period' in the Seventies and on through to his many later highlights.
We scrutinise some of Wonder's classic albums including Innervisions, Hotter Than July and his elaborate masterstroke, Songs In The Key Of Life, plus we handpick our Top 40 essential Stevie Wonder tracks from throughout his distinguished catalogue.
To add to that, we investigate Wonder's many contrasting collaborations over the years, uncover his often-overlooked relationship with prog boffins Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff – and their giant self-built synthesiser TONTO, and offer our guide to some vinyl treasures to add to the collection.
