Love That Album Episode 63 - Songs In The Key Of Life




Love That Album show

Summary: <br> <br> A late pullout from<br> my guest for episode 63 of LTA, and with no one else available on such short<br> notice meant I had to record it by myself. Not my favourite way of doing a show<br> (good on you, Terry Frost for being able to do it on a weekly basis), but here<br> it is.<br> <br> This time around, I talk about an album that many see as the<br> pinnacle of Stevie Wonder’s career – “Songs In The Key of Life” from 1976. Two<br> years in recording, Berry Gordy of Motown took a real chance in signing up<br> Steveland Morris to a new 30 million dollar contract at the time of recording.<br> He reportedly got very nervous the longer the recording went. He was rewarded<br> both artistically and financially. An apt title for an album that’s hallmarks are<br> its diversity and excellence.<br> <br> Eric Reanimator’s Album I Love segment is a beauty, as<br> always. This time around he discusses The Bellrays’ “Let It Blast”. The common<br> description of this band is Aretha Franklin fronts the MC5.
