Extra Inches: The Music of Stevie Wonder Vol.2
(Tracks hand-selected by legendary baritone, Mr. Jamie Davis)
Following on from our first installment, we are proud to present Extra Inches: The Music of Stevie Wonder Vol. 2 – this time round it’s Jamie Davis, who has kindly taken time out from his busy touring schedule to select tracks by the great man that have inspired him over the last forty years. His thoughts on Steveland Morris? “There is no other musician that has created so many rhythmic passages that dominates the music scene today”. How could we disagree? He’s also added some notes to each song, giving you his personal view on this thirteen track, musical showcase.
As (Songs In the Key Of Life – 1976)
This is one of the most vocally astounding songs Stevie ever sang – certainly not for an inexperienced vocalist.
If Your Love Cannot Be Moved (A Time To Love 2005)
A man being stuck in a rut and never experiencing the true meaning of love for mankind. Once again, a stunning show of versatility of this man’s voice.
Superstition (Talking Book – 1972)
He knocks it out the park with this funk masterpiece.
Master Blaster (Jammin’) (Hotter Than July – 1980)
What can I say? Grown up funk.
Never In Your Sun (In Square Circle – 1985)
He found her, but couldn’t make it work. Musically brilliant.
Send One Your Love (Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants – 1979)
Mature vocal styling with island influences.
Pastime Paradise (Songs In The Key Of Life – 1976)
This tune takes mans seemingly never ending struggle with himself
Golden Lady (Innervisions – 1973)
My take on this one is? He’s beggin!
Overjoyed (In Square Circle – 1985)
This tune is almost cosmic in its haunting melody. It’s one my favourites!
Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away (Fullfillingness First Finale – 1974)
Stevie’s expression of his spiritual awareness. He lets us look inside and understand his view on spirituality.
Ribbon In The Sky (Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium I – 1981)
He does it again, penning a tune that can be transformed into any format .
All Is Fair In Love (Innervisions – 1973)
One again the vocals are absolutely masterful.
Free (Characters – 1987)
The master at work with his revelation of his spirit.
