Stevie Wonder became fully recognized in the world of music with this release.
A few songs in this series were either sampled or redone by hip-hop artists looking for a quick buck without any real sacrifice.
"Knocks Me Off My Feet" is one of the best love songs/ballads to come out of that generation of decent music.

Pro Reviews: Songs in the Key of Life (Ltd Ed) (Remastered)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Songs in the Key of Life was Stevie Wonder's longest, most ambitious collection of songs, a twoLP (plus accompanying EP) set that just as the title promised touched on nearly every issue under the sun, and did it all with ambitious (even for him), wideranging arrangements and some of the best performances of Wonder's career. The opening "Love's in Need of Love Today" and "Have a Talk With God" are curiously subdued, but Stevie soon kicks into gear with "Village Ghetto Land," a fierce exposé of ghetto neglect set to a satirical baroque synthesizer. Hot on its heels comes the torrid fusion jam "Contusion," a big, brassy hit tribute to the recently departed Duke Ellington in "Sir Duke," and (another hit, this one a Grammy winner as well) the bumping poem to his childhood, "I Wish." Though they didn't necessarily appear in order, Songs in the Key of Life contains nearly a full album on love and relationships, along with another full album on issues social and spiritual. Fans of the love album Talking Book can marvel that he sets the bar even higher here, with brilliant material like the tenderly cathartic and gloriously redemptive "Joy Inside My Tears," the twopart, smoothandrough "Ordinary Pain," the bitterly ironic "All Day Sucker," or another classic heartbreaker, "Summer Soft." Those inclined toward Stevie Wonder the socialissues artist had quite a few songs to focus on as well: "Black Man" was a Bicentennial school lesson on remembering the vastly different people who helped build America; "Pastime Paradise" examined the plight of those who live in the past and have little hope for the future; "Village Ghetto Land" brought listeners to a nightmare of urban wasteland; and "Saturn" found Stevie questioning his kinship with the rest of humanity and amusingly imagining paradise as a residency on a distant planet. If all this sounds overwhelming, it is; Stevie Wonder had talent to spare during the mid'70s, and instead of letting the reserve trickle out during the rest of the decade, he let it all go with one massive burst. (His only subsequent record of the '70s was the similarly gargantuan but largely instrumental soundtrack Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants.) - John Bush, All Music Guide |

Pros: Everything
Cons: Not a DAMN thing!!
Stevie Wonder was already a star when he produced this album and things were looking up for him. This CD just boosted his status as a musical icon and is considered by many as his BEST album ever. I first got introduced to Stevie Wonder by listening to this album because I was more into Michael Jackson growing up. My Granny played this one day as she was cleaning the house and that was a life changing experience. Every song on BOTH CD
