The year 1972 saw the beginning of a five-year span in which Stevie Wonder released five groundbreaking, critically acclaimed albums, garnering him more than half a dozen Grammys and more than 10 million albums sold, securing his place as one of the most important American musicians and songwriters in history.

For the first time, uncover the untold story of an extraordinary artistic journey that shaped the greatest creative era in popular music history. Featuring in-depth musical and cultural analysis from legendary artists, critics, and thought leaders, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Questlove, Smokey Robinson, Janelle Monae, George Clinton, and many more, Audible's new, authorized Original invites audiences on an intimate and sweeping journey deeply infused with star-studded contributors’ unique experiences and impassioned fandom. Hosted by New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic Wesley Morris, The Wonder of Stevie revisits Wonder's iconic creative evolution, his transformative spiritual path, and the profound inspiration he drew from both the beauty and pain of the Black American experience—driving his eventual emergence as his generation’s most unflinching and uplifting artistic voice. With each episode dedicated to a particular album, listeners can follow Stevie Wonder’s classic period chronologically or jump to a favorite record or time period of interest.

Set to more than 40 of Wonder’s legendary tunes, the series culminates in a final moving episode exclusive to Audible that finds Stevie Wonder in a profound and enlightening conversation with former president Barack Obama. The Wonder of Stevie is the definitive celebration and examination of a towering icon at the absolute height of his creative powers. Sit back and "luxuriate" in his genius, as Morris puts it. It's time to discover the wonder of Stevie—once and for all.

This was such a blessing to listen to! I have loved Stevie Wonder since I was a child, so hearing the backstory behind all these phenomenal albums was a real treat! Just to be a fly in the room as this was being recorded would have been lovely; thank you to Wesley and the entire production team for putting this together, and for Mr. Stevie Wonder for allowing it. 💜

In. CREDIBLE!

amazing review of Stevie’s music

This podcast looks into the four-year period where Stevie released five classic albums. It dives into Stevie's experimental and funky style, his near-death car accident, his lyrics, and his spirituality. These albums made people feel something new and different. Especially enjoyable are the interviews with Barak and Michelle Obama, who describe what Stevie's music means to them.

I loved listening to this, so in depth and really interesting context and behind the scenes of Stevie's world as an artist. Made me appreciate his work even more. A great piece of content and something a range of people would enjoy. Would have been great to listen to in the car with my husband as really kept me interested.

Such a good listen! Loved hearing STEVIE HIMSELF!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Great insights into the soundtrack of my life.

I was fortunate to see the Songs in the Key of Life tour in Seattle back in 2014. What a legendary performance!

Listening to this podcast makes me want to get my concert tee back from my daughter who stole it from my closet and took it to college with her. 😆

Songs in the Key of MY Life

Oh, the stories, the memories. This is the most amazing chronology of an artist’s music I’ve ever listened to. My generation was lucky, lucky, lucky to have experienced this genius. It’s taking me time to listen to this because I stop to listen to the songs that are featured. Listen, you won’t be sorry. The memories and the feelings will come back. Where were you when Superstition, My Cherie Amour, Golden Lady, Living For The City, Sir Duke, Isn’t She Lovely, Ngiculela Es Una Historia-I Am Singing (in three languages! Your girl can sing it, but what am I singing?) and et al., were released? I was rocking a little Dashiki and the baby hairs pulled down by my cool teenage neighbor I was “acting fast”in Mt. Baker. Taking me back to the front porch and orange chain lamp. Ooh, ooo the chills and the feels. Wesley’s voice *chef’s kiss*
