 3.I LOVE EVERY LITTLE THING ABOUT YOU
 4.SWEET LITTLE GIRL
 5.HAPPIER THAN THE MORNING SUN
 6.GIRL BLUE
 7.SEEMS SO LONG

*TALKING BOOK, 1972

 YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE
 MAYBE YOUR BABY
 YOU AND I
 TUESDAY HEARTBREAK
 YOU'VE GOT IT BAD GIRL
 SUPERSTITION
 BIG BROTHER
 BLAME IT ON THE SUN
 LOOKIN' FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVE
 I BELIEVE (WHEN I FALL IN LOVE IT WILL BE FOREVER)

すばらしいアルバム。一言、これを買わずしてどうするのだ？ 超優良名曲YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFEとSUPERSTITION入ってます。 MAYBE YOUR BABYにはRay Parker Jr.が、LOOKIN' FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVEにはJeff Beckがギターで登場。 TUESDAY HEARTBREAKには、後にアースファミリーに入ってソロデビューしたDeniese Williamsがコーラスで入っています。 YOU AND Iは、ちょっとLATELYに似てますね。 それにしても、ほとんどの楽器をSTEVIE本人がやっているのだから驚きである。

*INNERVISIONS (TAMLA T-326L),1973

A TOO HIGH
  VISIONS
  LIVING FOR THE CITY
  GOLDEN LADY
B HIGHER GROUND
  JESUS CHILDREN OF AMERICA
  ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR
  DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT A THING
  HE'S MISSTRA KNOW-IT-ALL

えらいかっこいいアルバムやなあ、とライブハウスで聞きいっていたら、私持っていたことを忘れていました。結局、LPもCDも持っています。 これまたほとんどの楽器を１人でこなしているすごいアルバムです。

TOO HIGHのかっこよさといったら表現が難しいですね。
VISIONSは、ギターとウッドベースの音が美しいバラード。癒されますね。
LIVING FOR THE CITYも有名な曲だけど、こうやってアルバムの中で聞くとほんとうにすばらしい。めちゃくちゃファンキーですが、 まとまりのある感じが、ハチャメチャで収拾がつかなくなるP-FUNKとは違いますね。
なお、HE'S MISSTRA KNOW-IT-ALLのベースは、DONNY HATHAWAYのライブのベースでおなじみのWILLY WEEKSである。

 EASY GOIN' EVENING (MY MAMA'S CALL)

多分最高傑作。何がすごいって、２枚半組なのです。LP２枚とEP１枚。私が持っているのはＣＤ２枚組だからいまいちですが。 いい曲ばかり入っています。名曲SIR DUKEは、バンドでやったことありますが、難しいですねえ。
