Music aficionados know this, but if you truly love great music and want to understand the legend that is STEVIE WONDER, then there’s one album that you absolutely must own and that’s Songs in the Key of Life. Or, if you’re curious, you can watch his Grammy tribute tonight on CBS at 9pm eastern.

Released in 1976, it took Stevie close to three years to record Songs in the Key of Life. He famously pulled all-nighters, sometimes not sleeping for 2 days, to insure that he produced a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece. Little did Stevie know that Songs in the Key of Life would become a seminal collection of iconic songs that most of the world knows by heart.

#57 on Rolling Stone’s greatest albums of all time Songs in the Key of Life will inspire you, make you laugh, make you cry, make you dance and clap your hands with joy.
