This is an album that I’ve skipped over previously going from Talking Book to Songs in the Key of Life, but it really is a quiet masterpiece with many standout moments. Living for the City hits hard with a story of a naive young black man moving to New York and ending up on the wrong side of the law, complete with dialogue and sound effects. There are brighter songs too, with Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing being an absolute joy from start to finish.

“Tell me, holy roller

Are you standing like a soldier?

Are you standing for everything you talk about?”

This was the second album I ever bought with my own money. That beginner's luck spoiled me into thinking every album should be this good, with no skips! His pioneering use of synthesizers showed that electronics could be funky. No drum machines, either — it’s Stevie behind the drums, as well as ALL the instruments and backing vocals on several tracks. A staggering talent.
