- Batiste369 "The Music Connoisseur"Everyone Knows it's a Classic!The real question is why wouldn't this be in someone's music collection. This album is essential, especially if u call yourself a fan or R&B. Any soul collection is not complete without this masterpiece. It's THAT essential! Looking past the critical acclaim, this album speaks for itself. Here you have an ambitious, risk taking, young Stevie Wonder baring his soul and rewriting the rules of Soul music throughout two discs. Even more shocking, is the lack of filler on this 2 disc set. All of the tracks are great.
"Sir Duke" and "I Wish" were the big singles from this album. They both reached #1 on the pops. But the other songs are just as good --if not better-- than those two. The truth is there is SO much variety in this double release. "Village Ghetto Land" is emotionally stirring. I absolutely LOVE "Joy Inside My Tears". It's so moving that I am left in awe every time I hear the song...I must've listened to it several times already.
With a release this legendary, you can bet that even the album tracks and non-singles reach a level of classic status and here they do. "Isn't She Lovely", with it's phenomenal harmonica solo is a highlight as is the touching love song "As". These are tracks that were played on the radio and represent Stevie at his best.
I could go on & on but I'd be repeating myself and other reviewers. Just like Carole King and "Tapestry", MJ and "Thriller" & Prince with "Dirty Mind" this is an album that reaches near mythic status. ALL the songs are good. The lyrics bend the genre of Pop and reimagine R&B, The vocals are passionate and not overbearing. There is REAL emotion here and this represents everything music should be. "Songs in the Key of Life" represents the epitome of a classic album and its importance and greatness cannot be overstated. 5/5 stars. Highly recommended. - Cassandra DavisSound Quality is Amazing!This is my favorite Stevie Wonder album. I’ve been looking for it everywhere. First, I was skeptical because the reviews weren’t really informative. So, I’m here to help others who need a good review. Sound quality is great. It comes with lyrics to every song if you need them. It came very secure and in great/new condition. Plays beautifully. I hope you have the same experience if you decide to purchase.

- PhilipHSContender for #1 album of all-timeThis album is probably in the top 10 of every music fan in existence. It was the first album I fell in love with as a 15yo kid when it came out, and if it's not my all-time fave still, it's right near the top. It has everything. First off, being a double-album means it's filled with a lot of music, which is a huge bonus when an album is really good (or great, such as this one is). Stevie's career peak was 1972-1976, and this album was the apex of that peak, one final burst of creative genius he shared with the world. He never approached these heights again. Half a dozen or more of these songs have become stone-cold classics, staples of classic rock radio even 40 years later: Sir Duke, I Wish, Pastime Paradise, Isn't She Lovely, Another Star, Knocks Me Off My Feet.
Stevie effortlessly switched from ballads to R&B rockers like it was nothing, equally convincing in both. Listening to this album makes me shake my head in bewilderment at how good an album can be. Few albums have ever had such a lasting impact as this one, and for the few that haven't heard this album, do yourself a favor and get it. If you buy only one Stevie Wonder album, this is the one to get, without question. - Descubriendo VinilosHermoso AlbumMuy buen disco, hermoso.
Total confianza en el vendedor: he pedido dos discos y ambos llegaron en unos 15 días aproximadamente.
Solo debo mencionar que el librito de las canciones venía defectuoso en una esquina, con algunas hojas rotas, como si hubiese sido manoseado antes. Aunque fue una decepción recibirlo así, el álbum supera cualquier defecto - B WatsonCould not live without this music.Masterpiece, start to finish.
