#277MASTER BLASTER (JAMMIN') Stevie Wonder
The major hit from Stevie Wonder's 'Hotter Than July' album was "Master Blaster (Jammin')". Wonder respected Bob Marley and his profound influence on reggae music. The 2 legends had performed together in the mid-1970s and again in 1979. A joint tour was in the works in 1980, but Marley was diagnosed with cancer. 
The superstar of reggae is referenced in "Master Blaster". Wonder wrote and produced the track. He performed clavinet and electric piano on the track which also includes Angela Winbush among the backup vocalists. 
The track was issued in the USA in October 1980, prior to the discovery of Marley's condition. The single reigned for 7 weeks at #1 on the American R&B chart and made #5 Pop. It reached the top in parts of Europe and New Zealand. In Britain and Australia, the single peaked at #2. On May 11 1981, Marley passed away. "Master Blaster" remains a highlight in Wonder's repertoire.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
