With the recent news of Stevie Wonder going on tour to perform his album Songs in the Key of Life, which is arguably one of the best albums of all time, I figured I would share my favorite Stevie Wonder songs. I started this list by simply rattling off a handful of songs and had a pretty decent list going, then I looked up some others in order to not forget any… And the rest of my day turned into listening to strictly Stevie Wonder songs. Damn, he’s good. Personally, I’ve always considered him one of the best solo artists ever, possibly second to Michael Jackson. He has so many great songs that I had to make this a Top 20 list, and that’s still not enough! I’m not even that happy with my list because I feel that a good 30 songs could easily be in the Top 20 and probably 15 could be in the Top 10. (That’s why the Runner Up section is so big). But without further ado, here is my Top 20 Favorite Stevie Wonder songs:

20. Do I Do
19. Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday

[…] I know what you’re thinking, “I love this song, but really, on my Halloween playlist? Are you sure?” Yes, I’m sure. I’ve always associated Gangsta’s Paradise to Halloween, even though it has zero connection. I think it’s because of the almost haunting-like beat and voices of the choir. (Fun fact, the song samples “Pastime Paradise” by who else but Stevie Wonder) […]
