My favorite Stevie Wonder album turns 50 this coming week! The cover of the album found Stevie embracing and showcasing his Afrocentric pride, and the music found Stevie exploring sociopolitical themes as well as revolutionizing the use of the synthesizer.

The hits "Superstition" and "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" are of course classics, but I also love the funky "Maybe Your Baby," the romantic ode "You And I," and the beautiful and hopeful closer "I Believe When I Fall in Love..."
