Our Review

Despite its title, Number 1’s actually excludes a couple of Stevie Wonder’s #1’s from the Sixties ( “Blowin’ In the Wind,” “Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day”) and a few from the Eighties (“Ebony & Ivory,” “Go Home,” “You Will Know”) just to be able to fit in all of the stone-cold classics from Wonder’s Seventies era. The compilation disproportionately favors the Seventies, mistakenly giving the impression that Wonder’s Sixties period was just a prelude to his later triumphs rather than its own distinct body of work, but other than that, collecting his #1’s seems like the most reasonable way to distill Wonder’s remarkably deep and diverse career onto one disc. The crisp remastering job brings out new details in lesser-known Seventies works like “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” and “Boogie On Reggae Woman,” which are just as good as standards like “Superstition” and “I Wish.” Even more surprising is “Skeleton,” an overlooked #1 from 1987 that (along with the 1995 bonus track “So What the Fuss”) proves that Wonder is the rare old-timer willing to engage hip-hop’s musical innovations rather than deride them.

Customer Reviews

Close, But Not Quite (3 stars)
This collection serves as a pretty good representation of Stevie Wonder's solo #1's on the Billboard r&b and pop charts. However, to make this collection really complete, "So What's The Fuss" and "Overjoyed" need to go and the two missing r&b #1s "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Shoo Be Doo Be Doo Dah Day" need to be here. Then the collection would be accurate.

Timeless Gems (5 stars)
Stevie's music covers a lot of ground, both in genre and appeal, and this collection covers all the high points over his long career. A few of these have been played to death by Top 40 and Oldies radio, but there are still timeless gems here that upon new listening continue to fill your ears with funktastic rainbows of musical flavor. The first couple of tunes are naturally a bit musty smelling from living in Motown's party basement for al

Wonder-ful, indeed, but let's be honest (4 stars)
Legendary Stevie Wonder deserves his every accolade, as does iTunes for pricing this collection so reasonably. But calling it Number 1s (no apostrophe, please, it's not a possessive) is just wrong. The most recent cuts didn't reach #1 on the charts. Title aside, this is a quality collection of mostly big hits.

Biography

Born: May 13, 1950 in Saginaw, MI
Genre: R&B/Soul
Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Stevie Wonder is a much-beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only of R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder's heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity; even when he addressed serious racial, social, and spiritual issues (which he did quite often in his prime), or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty,...
