Stevie Wonder – Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits Vol. 2

Stevie Wonder – Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits Vol. 2

Stevie Wonder – Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 brings together some of the most memorable recordings from the early part of the legendary Motown artist's career. Originally released in 1971, the compilation follows the success of Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits and focuses on a run of hit singles and fan favourites recorded during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The collection opens with the instantly recognisable "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours", one of Wonder's most celebrated Motown recordings and a song that perfectly captures the energetic soul sound of his early-1970s period. His spirited version of The Beatles' "We Can Work It Out" follows, demonstrating the distinctive combination of gospel-inflected vocals, rhythmic drive and melodic sophistication that became central to Wonder's sound.

Other highlights include the timeless "For Once In My Life", the soulful "If You Really Love Me" and the infectious "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day". The compilation also reaches further back into Wonder's catalogue with "My Cherie Amour", "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" and "Never Had A Dream Come True", showcasing the remarkable development of his songwriting and vocal style.

The second side also includes "Heaven Help Us All", a powerful socially conscious recording, alongside "Don't Know Why I Love You" and "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In The Summer". Together, the tracks provide an excellent snapshot of Wonder's evolution from Motown child star into one of the most important soul artists of his generation.

For collectors of Stevie Wonder, Motown, soul, classic R&B and 1960s/70s pop, Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 is a superb collection of some of his most enduring early recordings.
