You know how hip hop heads give you the fond memories of Nov 9th of 93? (Tribe's Midnight Marauders & Wu's Enter The 36 Chambers came out same day---some say last great double monster release of the hip hop of yesteryear era)---well for music heads there is ANOTHER seminal release date in our memory banks: Sept 28th 1976--Noted as the day Stevie Wonder released #SongsInTheKeyOfLife. I was 5 years old but I remember EVERY detail of this release. Having been raised in a musical household & around all the musicians my parents interacted with --not to mention starting first grade that VERY week Monday the 27th our music teacher told us to have our parents buy this record for us for release day---that Wednesday I believe all but 4 of us came to school with copies of that album. Best homework assignment ever. I can't even explain to you guys how groundbreaking this album was. And it's impact. But I remember EVERYTHING about the 2 week buzz of its release. The way me and my crew would dissect albums in our adult years, I'd watch the adults jaw dropped as he kept modulating "Summer Soft" higher and higher. "Was that George Benson scatting on "Another Star"? Some of them couldn't even get past the first 2 mins of "Loves In Need Of Love Today" taking it back to study his harmony structure. Grabbing the lyric book to translate "I Am Singing"---reading that lyric book like a novel (sidenote: this album consumed 5 year old me with all of its liner note knowledge and dairy entries---thus leading me to do the very same things on my own albums and books and I guess IG lol)---I mean Thriller didn't even hit us this much. Thriller came and just wouldn't go away until the whole world knew about it. But even MJ will tell you that next to the mammoth sales of Saturday Night Fever---the album that had creative impact on him as a green light that perhaps he one day (some 6 years later) he could command the world's attention was #SITKOL. Happy 40th.
