“Down To Earth” by Stevie Wonder - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1966 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Now a mature 16-year-old, this is a more palatable Stevie Wonder, his voice having now broken. His cover of “Bang Bang” (Cher, 1966) is not too bad; “Mr. Tambourine Man” (Bob Dylan, 1965) is especially likeable. Not enough of this kind of thing, his brand of Motown pop being too sickly sweet for my tastebuds.
