英國的「Classic Pop」音樂雜誌,2017年十月底出版的別冊「Classic Pop presents Stevie Wonder」中,除了詳細介紹Stevie Wonder的生平 傳記與音樂風格外,更列出了40首必聽的Stevie Wonder經典歌曲,並介紹了它們的幕後小故事。幾個小重點還包括:
a. 從40到1,也大略用年代排序,讓大家了解風格的演變以及對流行音樂的影響
b. 有些曲子不是Stevie Wonder原作,而有些是Stevie Wonder原作給別人唱,後來再收回來給自己唱,或是被翻唱
以下我打打字,把這40首經典列出來,這樣大家就知道到底有哪些Stevie Wonder的創作,是絕對要認識甚至是學習的:

當然還有蠻多首,尤其經典幾乎集中在九〇年代以前,不過這樣的歌單,已經有太多寶藏值得挖掘,不管在創作技法上或是樂理活用上!
當然如果需要再深入,「專輯」還是都需要擁有且逐首聆聽的,Stevie Wonder的音樂,不管是流行樂手或是爵士樂手,都視為大師典範,不可能片面速成,也不能只靠Youtube影片查詢而已。
