Stevie Wonder was putting out albums that charted where popular music was going for the next several years. After Talking Book and Innervisions come out everybody was trying to sound like that. Songs in the Key of Life appears and for the next five years all the popular artists are trying to copy that sound. In many ways I think Stevie Wonder influenced and changed popular music even more than the Beatles. Oh yeah one more thing, Superstitious has the best bass line ever written.
