Songs in the Key of Life was Stevie Wonder's longest,
most ambitious collection of songs, a two-LP (plus
accompanying EP) set that -- just as the title promised
-- touched on nearly every issue under the sun, and did
it all with ambitious (even for him), wide-ranging
arrangements and some of the best performances of
Wonder's career. The opening "Love's in Need of Love
Today" and "Have a Talk With God" are curiously
subdued, but Stevie soon kicks into gear with "Village
Ghetto Land," a fierce exposé of ghetto neglect set to
a satirical baroque synthesizer. Hot on its heels comes
the torrid fusion jam "Contusion," a big, brassy hit
tribute to the recently departed Duke Ellington in "Sir
Duke," and (another hit, this one a Grammy winner as
well) the bumping poem to his childhood, "I Wish."
Though they didn't necessarily appear in order, Songs
in the Key of Life contains nearly a full album on love
and relationships, along with another full album on
issues social and spiritual. Fans of the love album
Talking Book can marvel that he sets the bar even
higher here, with brilliant material like the tenderly
cathartic and gloriously redemptive "Joy Inside My
Tears," the two-part, smooth-and-rough "Ordinary Pain,"
the bitterly ironic "All Day Sucker," or another
classic heartbreaker, "Summer Soft." Those inclined
toward Stevie Wonder the social-issues artist had quite
a few songs to focus on as well: "Black Man" was a
Bicentennial school lesson on remembering the vastly
different people who helped build America; "Pastime
Paradise" examined the plight of those who live in the
past and have little hope for the future; "Village
Ghetto Land" brought listeners to a nightmare of urban
wasteland; and "Saturn" found Stevie questioning his
kinship with the rest of humanity and amusingly
imagining paradise as a residency on a distant planet.
If all this sounds overwhelming, it is; Stevie Wonder
had talent to spare during the mid-'70s, and instead of
letting the reserve trickle out during the rest of the
decade, he let it all go with one massive burst. (His
only subsequent record of the '70s was the similarly
gargantuan but largely instrumental soundtrack Journey
Through the Secret Life of Plants.)
