In 1973 Stevie Wonder’s “Innervisions” hit hard immediately, first. America was grappling with racism, poverty and a rampant drug epidemic, among other issues. At 23, Wonder was already a seasoned musician with several albums released as a musical wiz kid and as a fresh-faced adult. With a newfound cultural awareness and drive to push society forward, Stevie was fearless in addressing all the aforementioned issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow jump to present day. Songs like “Living for the City” and “Higher Ground” are still ripe anthems, particularly spot-on today in this post Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman era our nation’s in. Critically acclaimed, of-the-moment film “Fruitvale Station” -- about Bay-area Black man Oscar Grant, then 22, being wrongly gunned down by a white police officer -- could have easily been tracked to “Innervisions.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and spent 89 weeks on the chart overall. It spent 2 weeks at No. 1 on the Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart and 51 weeks on the chart overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Innervisions\" is 40-years old today (August 3). True fans marvel through listens as if it was created weeks ago. Its genius is palpable, especially considering that Wonder damn near made the thing by himself. On several cuts, he’s credited for lead and background vocals, keys, synthesizer, harmonica, congas and drums, right on down to handclaps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrack List\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"track-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eToo High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eVisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eLiving for the City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eGolden Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eHigher Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eJesus Children of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eAll in Love Is Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eDon't You Worry 'Bout a Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"track\"\u003eHe's Misstra Know It All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"ALLIENCE MEDIA INDEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40118985326634,"sku":"IMT828765.1","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/3919\/2106\/products\/image_eca324de-1f37-4f9f-aee4-8a5dfae76e19.jpg?v=1652220114","url":"https:\/\/oyerecordspr.com\/products\/copy-of-stevie-wonder-innervisions-import","provider":"OYE RECORDS ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
