Zeth Lundy: Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, CONTINUUM, Januar 2007 ISBN: 0826419267
"Songs in the Key of Life" is different from the four albums that preceded it; it's a maddeningly ambitious encapsulation of all the progress Stevie Wonder had made in that short space of time. This work covers Stevie Wonder's excessive work habits and recording methodology, his reliance on synthesizers, and other aspects.

Lundy, Zeth.. Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life. Continuum. 2007.. Continuum, 2007. ; weicher Einband / soft cover ISBN: 9780826419262
Paperback, 160pp., NEW, Songs in the Key of Life is imperfect but audacious. If its titular concern - life - doesn't exactly allow for rigid focus, it's still a fiercely inspired and definitive collection of songs. Lundy's book, in keeping with the album's themes, is structured as a life cycle. Within this framework, Lundy covers Wonder's recording methodology, his reliance on synthesizers and the album's place in the gospel-inspired progression of 1970s R'n'B.

PB, NEAR FINE.
