In 1976, Stevie Wonder‘s Songs In The Key Of Life went to No.1 on the US album chart. The seminal title, which features such songs as “Isn't She Lovely,” “I Wish,” and “Sir Duke,” became the artist's best-selling album and won Album of the Year at the 1977 Grammys. In 1982, Culture Club made a buzzworthy TV appearance on the UK's Top of the Pops, performing “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.” After the performance, frontman Boy George became a fixture on magazine covers, while the song quickly rose up the pop charts. In 2006, the legendary New York venue CBGBs closed its doors after 33 years. While the club was first intended to be a hub for country, bluegrass, and blues artists, it eventually became synonymous with the underground punk and new wave scene and served as a platform for such seminal artists as Blondie, Television, and The Ramones.

”Jeg havde høj selvtillid og meget lille selvværd. Men jeg vidste, at jeg ville være skuespiller!”. Sådan fortæller Paprika Steen om hendes teenageliv i midten af 1970erne, hvor Kasper Winding introducerer hende for Stevie Wonders mesterværk ”Songs In The Key Of Life”. I denne første del af Portrætalbum kan du høre en herligt flagrende, kærlig og let kaotisk samtale mellem Anders Bøtter og Paprika Steen, som stadig nærer stor kærlighed til den musik, der blev så vigtig en identitetsmarkør i hendes ungdomsliv. Igennem samtalen bliver du klogere på Paprikas opvækst med nogle meget musikalske storebrødre, hendes brændende passion for film og hendes utrolige stålsatte drømme om selv at blive skuespiller.

“Let me put it this way: wherever I go in the world, I always take a copy of Songs In The Key Of Life.  For me, it's the best album ever made, and I'm always left in awe after I listen to it.  He's so multi-talented that it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes him one of the greatest ever.  He can play anything.  I think I'm a pretty good musician, but he's in a whole other league.”                    - Elton JohnFreight Train - Elizabeth CottenJust Like Tom Thumb's Blues - Nina SimoneHey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye - Roberta FlackFootlights - Merle HaggardLong, Long Time (Lizard Point Mix) - Nick OffermanQuiet, The Winter Harbor - Mazzy StarTeenage Blue - DreamgirlBaby - Dottie WestI May Never Get To Heaven - Wanda JacksonFinding My Way Back Home - Buckwheat ZydecoPick Myself Up - Peter ToshEverything's Not Lost - Gregory PorterFalling - Norah JonesSolid Ground - Michael KiwanukaWalkin' In The Sun - Percy SledgeSugar - Stevie Wonder  Cold 40's - Scone Cash PlayersJ.O.S. - Jimmy SmithPeople Sure Act Funny - Lonnie SmithHow Insensitive - Grant GreenMountain Breeze - Ernest RanglinLove Letters - Elvis Presley

Herbert Jeffrey Hancock , 12 avril 1940, Chicago, Illinois, États-Unis Herbie Hancock est un excellent pianiste de jazz, chef d'orchestre et compositeur. Herbie est né à Chicago, Illinois. Il a fréquenté le Wendell Phillips High School à East Pershing Rd à Chicago, commençant initialement par une éducation musicale classique. Montrant des promesses remarquables dans son enfance, Herbie a été influencé par le groupe vocal Hi-Lo's. En 1960, il devient l'élève de l'artiste Chris Anderson, puis commence à travailler avec Donald Byrd et Coleman Hawkins. Herbie a également fréquenté l'Université Roosevelt de Chicago. Au fur et à mesure que sa réputation vieillissait, Herbie a commencé à collaborer avec Oliver Nelson et Phil Woods. En 1962, il avait signé avec Blue Note Records pour sortir son premier album 'Takin' Off''. L'album a attiré l'attention de Miles Davis sur Herbie, qui cherchait alors un claviériste. Il rejoint ensuite le Miles Davis Quintet en 1963, avec lequel il restera cinq ans, tout en continuant à sortir son matériel solo pour Blue Note Records. Son matériel solo pour Blue Note a continué jusqu'en 1969, avec les albums 'My Point Of View' (en 1963), 'Inventions and Dimensions' (en 1964), 'Empyrean Isles' (en 1964), 'Maiden Voyage' (en 1965), 'Speak Like A Child' (en 1968) et 'The Prisoner' (en 1969). Herbie a également joué sur plusieurs sessions d'enregistrement sur la côte Est pour le producteur Creed Taylor, qui comprenait la bande originale de "Blow Up", qui est devenue le premier de nombreux projets de bande originale de film. Herbie a quitté le Miles Davis Quintet en 1968. Il a sorti l'album 'Fat Albert Rotunda' un an plus tard pour l'empreinte Warner Bros. En 1970, Herbie étudiait le bouddhisme, ce qui l'a vu changer brièvement de nom pour son matériel enregistré, comme pour l'album "Mwandishi" en 1971. Mwandishi étant un nom swahili qu'il utilisait parfois ("Mwandishi" est le swahili pour "écrivain"). 1972, voit la sortie de 'Crossings', suivi de 'Sextant' un an plus tard (la première sortie après un changement de label chez Columbia Records). En 1973, Herbie sort l'album "Head Hunters", qui montre une émergence musicale vers un style plus funk/fusion. L'album comportait le morceau extrêmement populaire 'Chameleon'. Herbie commençait à maîtriser le synthétiseur et à développer son son, mis en valeur par une série d'excellents albums, dont 'Thrust' (en 1974), 'Death Wish' (en 1974), 'Flood' (en 1975), 'Man-Child ' (en 1975), 'Secrets' (en 1976) et 'VSOP' (en 1977). À cette époque, Herbie était un musicien de session vedette du tour de force de Stevie Wonder en 1976 "Songs In The Key Of Life" et fut plus tard le producteur du projet "8 for The Eighties" de Webster Lewis. En 1978, Herbie a sorti l'un de ses albums de fusion les plus commerciaux (et les plus réussis) dans l'album "Sunlight". L'album comportait l'hymne du club "I Thought It Was You", où Herbie utilisait son synthétiseur pour corriger toute "anomalie" dans sa propre prestation vocale. "Feets Don't Fail Me Now" de 1979 a continué le format, embellissant le son avec un format disco, présenté dans le single "You Bet Your Love". La même année, Herbie a demandé l'aide de Webster Lewis, Alphonse Mouzon, Bennie Maupin, Bill Summers et Ray Obiedo, pour un album enregistré "direct sur vinyle" au Japon, intitulé "Directstep" (qui présentait une face complète de l'enregistrement de l'album de "Je pensais que c'était toi". L'album 'Monster' des années 1980 présentait certains des enregistrements les plus émouvants d'Herbie, notamment 'Making Love', 'Stars In Your Eyes' et 'Saturday Night'. Il a immédiatement suivi l'album avec un disque plus fusionnel intitulé "Mr Hands" (avec "Just Around The Corner"). 'Magic Windows' de 1981 était une sortie beaucoup plus émouvante, qui a été suivie par 'Lite Me Up', une collaboration avec Rod Temperton du groupe Heatwave. L'album comprenait les populaires « Getting To The Good Part », « Motor Mouth » et « The Bomb ». L'album de 1983 "Future Shock" présentait le single à succès "Rockit" (souvent considéré comme la première chanson jazz hip-hop), qui présentait un son plus électronique que ses sorties précédentes. En 1984, "Sound System" présentait le morceau de fusion "Karabali", qui avait été diffusé à la radio à l'époque. En 1986, il enregistre l'album de la bande originale du film de Dexter Gordon "Round Midnight", pour lequel il remporte un Oscar de la musique originale. Après avoir sorti "Perfect Machine" en 1988, Herbie a quitté l'empreinte de Columbia après 15 ans. Il a signé par intermittence sur plusieurs labels, dont Qwest, qui a vu la sortie de l'album "A Tribute To Miles" en 1994. Cette année-là, il signe chez PolyGram Records, ce qui lui permet de sortir des disques de jazz pour Verve/Mercury Records. L'album de 1994, "Dis Is da Drum", présentait l'interprète dans un format jazz plus acide. Cette année-là, Herbie est apparu sur l'album de compilation de sensibilisation au sida de l'organisation Red Hot 'Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool'. En 1998, Herbie a sorti l'album «Gershwin's World», qui présentait des interprétations des standards de George et Ira Gershwin par Herbie, ainsi que Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell et Wayne Shorter. Il a sorti "Future2Future" en 2001, avec lequel Herbie a collaboré avec Bill Laswell et Rob Swift de The X-Ecutioners. Le trio a tourné pour soutenir l'album, se poursuivant jusqu'en 2005. En 2005, Herbie sort un album en duo intitulé "Possibilités". Les artistes en vedette comprenaient Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Annie Lennox, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera et Sting. En 2006, Sony BMG Music Entertainment a récupéré les droits du catalogue Columbia de Herbie en publiant "The Essential Herbie Hancock". En 2007, Herbie a sorti l'album «River: The Joni Letters», son propre hommage à Joni Mitchell, le chanteur et auteur-compositeur. L'album comportait des contributions de Norah Jones, Tina Turner et Corinne Bailey Rae. "River" a remporté le Grammy Award de l'album de l'année 2008. En 2010, Herbie a sorti "The Imagine Project" et en 2013 a reçu le Kennedy Center Honors Award pour ses réalisations dans les arts de la scène. Différente de la carrière «motivée» de Miles Davis, la musique de Herbie a emmené l'artiste dans un voyage plus long, oscillant entre presque tous les développements du jazz électronique / acoustique et du R&B au cours du dernier tiers du 20e siècle.

Her long, successful career has been recognized with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Kennedy Center Honors, the American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement, and induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Additionally, her life and musical career with her husband Emilio serve as the basis for the Broadway musical On Your Feet!   I spoke with Gloria from her home in Miami Beach on August 19, the week after the release of her long-awaited album Brazil305. During our conversation for Song Chronicles, Gloria spoke on a wide range of topics, from her start in the music business to the art of songwriting and music that has influenced her.     She also speaks about the importance of family — throughout her life and during the pandemic — and a mother-and-daughter theme runs through the interview. This seems quite appropriate since I got to know Gloria in 2013 when she performed at the White House as part of the Gershwin Prize ceremony honoring my mother Carole King.   Gloria Estefan performs at the Gershwin Prize ceremony honoring Carole King Photo by Pete Souza. Courtesy of The White House   Gloria came from a family that was full of musicians. Her mother was a born performer who actually won a Shirley Temple contest that included a trip to Hollywood. Gloria’s grandmother, whom she described as being very forward-thinking for her time, was ready to take Gloria’s mom to Hollywood; however, her grandfather forbade them from going.   Gloria's mother and grandmother   Gloria was two when her family arrived in America from Cuba. As a child, Gloria enjoyed singing but she was introverted and shied away from performing. Her grandmother, who was like a stage mother to her, urged Gloria to sing, telling her “you won’t be happy unless you do what you are meant to do.”   Gloria shares the funny story about the first time she met Emilio Estefan in 1975 when she was 17. His accordion was covering his shorts “so it looked like he was naked” but “he had great legs.” That summer, Gloria saw Emilio’s band, the Miami Latin Boys, play at a wedding. He asked her to sing; she did and got a standing ovation. He asked her to join his band but she said no. Eventually, though, she said yes, remembering what her grandmother had told her. Her mom, however, was quite upset over her joining the group, so Gloria got her cousin, Mercy, to join too.   That is Gloria on the right   Emilio loved the first song Gloria ever wrote, “Tu Amor Conmigo,” so much that it was put on the band’s first single. Since there were now girls in the Miami Latin Boys, they needed to change their name. Gloria says that she didn’t like the name Miami Sound Machine; her idea was simply Miami, but the new name served them well.     That first single was a big hit in Latin America, where they played to large crowds, but it wasn’t a hit in America, where they still played weddings. This taught her that fame “can go away as fast as it comes,” adding that “it was important that I had a good ten years before worldwide success exploded” because it allowed her to be more relaxed and honest on stage, which in turn made her a better live performer.   Gloria and Emilio on their wedding Day Courtesy of Gloria and Emilio Estefan Gloria married Emilio in 1980 on the day that she turned 21. She admits that they are “a rare combo.” She says that they are two different types who “empower each other” and are “strong-willed but not (with) big egos.” She also describes Emilio as "the biggest feminist that she knows" with "no qualms with women being in positions of power."   She admires his “uncanny ability to zero in on the one line or one part that I was having doubts” about in a song. This has strengthened her skills in crafting songs. Much of her songwriting is inspiration-based, with her “inspirations (coming) through me not from me.”     Emilio was the inspiration for “Un Amor Especial,” one of the songs that has remained important to Gloria over time. At the time she wrote this song about a life-long love, it was wishful thinking, but it turned out to be a wish that has come true.     Another tune that has stayed significant to Gloria is “Nayib's Song (I Am Here for You),” which she wrote for her son after the very severe 1990 tour bus accident that they were in. The song speaks of having faith to survive a tumultuous time — a message that still holds true for her today, particularly because her grandson is the same age now that her son was then.   Our conversation frequently turned to music that played a big role in Gloria’s life. Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life and Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road were albums that she “wore out copies of (while) poring over every lyric.”   Stevie Wonder with Gloria   Gloria also explains her very olfactory memory for music, resulting in her associating certain songs with certain smells. So when she hears Seals & Crofts's “Summer Breeze,” she will smell freshly cut grass, or smell a laundromat when she hears Gerry and the Pacemakers’ “Ferry Across The Mersey.”   During the pandemic, Gloria has increased her music listening because “I need to feel more.” Her choices range from P!NK and Alanis Morrissette to Nat King Cole as well as Cuban greats, like Cachao and Celia Cruz, and the fabled Mexican songwriter Agustín Lara.   Gloria sings on stage with Celia Cruz   She credits her broad musical tastes to growing up on her mother’s eclectic record collection listening to the such musical greats from Latin America, Cuba and the United States, such as Carmen Miranda, Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66, Jobim and Johnny Mathis. She mentions how “I was over the moon to do a duet (“Mary's Boy Child”) with Johnny Mathis.”   Her mother’s record collection also held a lot of Brazilian music, which influenced Gloria throughout her career. The first Miami Sound Machine album included a cover of the Antonio Carlos & Jocafi song “Malvina” and the 1983 MSM album, Rio, featured new lyrics to popular Brazilian songs. The title of her new album, Brazil305, is a nod to Sergio Mendes’s band with 305 representing Miami’s area code. The new album also led Gloria to make a documentary exploring Brazilian and Afro-Cuban music that should come out in 2021.     Brazil305, which contains older songs of hers redone in various Brazilian musical styles, is also a very personal effort for Gloria. In our conversation, she talks about how, back in 2016, she played the demos for her mother, who loved them. However, her mom died soon afterward following a brief illness. When Gloria went to finish the album, she wasn’t able to sing the songs because the music was too connected to her mom.   Gloria waited over a year to return to the studio, but it was worth the time because she was able to sing the songs with the joy that they were intended to have. The album’s release, however, was delayed then by the COVID pandemic along with the George Floyd shooting. Gloria, however, feels that now is the right time for the album to come out because the “message of music is we are one.” She says she feels honored to have the opportunity to put music out into the universe that is healing and soothing.     Please enjoy the first episode of my conversation with Gloria Estefan.

In this episode we discuss Stevie Wonder's incredible 4-album run in the early/mid 1970s, establishing him as among the greatest songwriters in the history of popular music. But it begs the question: is it better to burn out than fade away? It's a question that cuts across music genres and eras. And it may shed some light on why David Bowie career retrospectives largely missed the mark. What do you think?

Stevie Wonder was on an unrivaled creative streak starting in 1972, releasing 5 brilliant albums in a row, culminating with Songs In The Key Of Life in 1976. That album spawned 2 hit singles, including "I Wish", the subject of this episode. A masterpiece blending funk with pop sensibilities, it's a celebration of youthful innocence and simpler times. How does this song make *you* feel? Let me know on Facebook, write a review on iTunes or wherever you listen to this show. And share it with your friends!

I've always been around music!!! It’s in my DNA. My family is full of singers, musicians, producers, and songwriters, and it was my destiny to be in music. My father and mother made sure that my siblings and I had a very healthy balance of different styles of music ranging from Gospel, Classical, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk and Neo-Soul(I got into Hip-Hop by hearing OutKast’s Jazzy Bells lol). After hearing Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life, my love for music grew into a marriage!!!! I started to play piano at 15, played the trombone from middle school thru high school, and has sung in choirs at church and background work. I’m with the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, Be On It. I'm a keyboardist, producer, arranger, and composer. I’ve had the honor and privilege to work and share the stage with some awesome artists such as PJ Morton, Jeremih, Chantae Cann, Bashiri Asad, Kenny Garmon, L. LeBron Wilson, Demetrius West, Le’Andria Johnson, and Phil Carroll. I’ve also been honored to open up for Moonchild, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Jonathan Nelson, and Fred Hammond. Some of my favorite artists that are my biggest inspirations and influences are Stevie Wonder, Robert Glasper, Daniel Moore II, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Earth Wind and Fire, Mint Condition, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Tye Tribbett, Donald Lawrence, D’Angelo, Cory Henry, OutKast, The Beatles, Kevin Bond, Jesse Thompson, The Doobie Brothers, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, John Legend amongst countless others.

The seventh media-friendly Off Message podcast - Off Message #50 overall...hurrah! - is with Nadine O'Regan, Books and Arts Editor and current (no relation) Off Message columnist with the Sunday Business Post. During our chat, Nadine discussed how it felt to recently have her long-running Today FM show, Songs In The Key Of Life, rather unceremoniously dropped by the station; her own not insignificant role in the globally successful West Cork podcast; growing up in a household steeped in print journalism; her own very peculiar roundabout route into the business, and much more.

'Living Just Enough For The City' : A Stevie Wonder tribute mix put together with love by your good friends at SOUL OF SYDNEY. // Update: 21.6.19 - Audio Recording Re-uploaded with higher bit rate // This Mix was put together back in October 2008 on the same night after being totally blown away after witnessing the genius of STEVIE WONDER live in concert for the first time. This isn't just a mix of classic, it's a selection of some of our favourite Stevie Wonder joints and some rarely played gems showcasing his work from Soul, Reggae, Funk & Dance floor Disco goodness. Track List Stevie Wonder - Have A Talk With God Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise Stevie Wonder - Living Just Enough For The City Stevie Wonder - Superstition Stevie Wonder - You Haven't Done Nothin' Stevie Wonder - Ebony Eyes Stevie Wonder - Summer Soft (OHM Collective EDIT) Stevie Wonder - All Day Sucker Stevie Wonder - I Wish Stevie Wonder - That Girl Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke Stevie Wonder - Boogie On Reggae Woman Stevie Wonder - Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours Stevie Wonder - Black Man Stevie Wonder - Do I Do Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely Stevie Wonder - Another Star Stevie Wonder - Confusion Stevie Wonder - Masterblaster (Jammin') Stevie Wonder - Part-Time Lover STEVIE WONDER Acer Arena, October 22 "ARE you with me? Are we together?" cried Stevie Wonder at the top of a reggae-tinged Master Blaster, asking perhaps the most superfluous question in the history of questions. If love was in need of love in 1976 - as the man born Stevland Hardaway Judkins put it on his classic album Songs In The Key Of Life - there was certainly no shortage of it last night. Wonder gave love, dedicating the whole show to the Four Tops singer Levi Stubbs, who died this week, before a jubilant rendition of the soul band's classic I Can't Help Myself. (It ended with Wonder crying visible tears.) And boy, did he receive love. Before his daughter, Aisha Morris, had even led him all the way to his piano and banks of keyboards, the sold-out arena screamed with adulation. Wonder at first just ambled towards the centre of the stage, beat-boxing to himself. Then he pulled out a harmonica, jammed along with his band to a Miles Davis jazz classic and pretty much earned every last scream. His band was deliciously tight - a crack 14-piece unit including multiple horns, guitars and percussionists - and their leader almost shone with the star power and charisma you expected. You can still see that he really feels the music, loves hearing it and can't get enough of playing it. Sure, but it's hard to think he could put a foot wrong. Really, he could have just stood at the stage for two hours humming to himself and this would have been a triumph. As it was, he played some mighty fine soul and funk as well as the occasional flourish of jazz and reggae groove. By the end of the show we'd seen it all. A suspiciously good singer, "plucked out of the audience", duetting with his idol; a barrage of hits, good and not so good (but still irresistible), often jazzed up. And the presentation of a lifetime achievement award for sales in excess of 1 million in Australia before a roof-raising Superstition. It was all about the love. By George Palathingal @ Sydney Morning Herald, October 23, 2008

There are a few musical artists that nobody hates. Willie Nelson, Bob Marley, Van Morrison. Marvin Gaye. Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Billie Holiday. Even if you don’t want to listen to them, you still kind of love them. Even if it’s a begrudging love, you still love them. Admit it. Stevie Wonder is one of those artists. This album should have been a much more challenging album to listen to than it was. We talk all about it this week… Get "Songs In The Key Of Life" on Amazon"* Coming Up Kevin goes on a trip, and the idiots run the asylum again.

Singer/songwriter/composer/bandleader William Kurk (of The William Kurk Enterprise) stops by to talk about his journey growing up in a musical family, learning to write and sing his own material, and his evolution as a leader of one of Chicago's most exciting bands.   We also discuss "Songs In The Key Of Life" by Stevie Wonder

Once upon a time, a young seventeen year-old guitarist from Philadelphia auditioned for a musical legend - Stevie Wonder. As the story goes, Stevie hired him on the spot and the young man toured with him as his main guitarist and featured vocalist for the next seven years, working and writing with him on numerous projects including Wonder’s most ambitious album, Songs In The Key Of Life. Since then, Michael Sembello’s musical opportunities have been more than golden…they’ve been platinum. Who can forget his chart-busting single Maniac, written and performed for the movie Flashdance that went platinum multiple times. He’s worked with huge names - David Sanborn, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, Barbara Streisand, the Temptations, Sergio Mendez, George Duke, The Jackson 5, and Michael Jackson. His upcoming Japan-only release, Bossa Nova Hotel, will fuse Brazilian, Bossa and Samba with R&B sounds. Inside MusiCast welcomes a truly global musician, Michael Sembello.

Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise I've been having Stevie Wonder flashbacks since I produced a Powerpoint slide show for my Aunt Mary's birthday a few weeks ago. (I used Isn't She Lovely with silly pictures of old ladies, and it was a hit.) So, keep it hush, since I don't want to be hunted down by the mean old RIAA or anything. Anyway... Back to Stevie. Songs In The Key Of Life (1976) is part of the holy trinity of magical Wonder albums, along with Innervisions and Talking Book, and I like to revisit it from time to time. Since it raked in Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, and both Best Male Pop Vocal and Best Male R & B Vocal, it's a worthy flashback as we approach Grammy Sunday this weekend. I chose Pastime Paradise, since so many people remember the Coolio song, Gangsta's Paradise (also a Grammy winner,) but don't necessarily know just how much borrowing he did from Stevie's original. Most call it "sampling," but I'd call it a cover song. Coolio changed some lyrics and added that memorable bass line, giving the song more urgency, but it's still a cover.
