Stevie Wonder’s masterpiece album “Songs in the Key of Life” debuted with this fabulously dated promotional video, a documentary chronicling the lavish press party the music legend hosted at Long View Farms Studios [map] in 1976.
Pop stars in Los Angeles for this year’s Grammy Awards performed a tribute to Wonder, who is also touring the United States right now doing full, start-to-finish performances of “Songs In The Key of Life.” If you have an opportunity to see one of them, please go. Legends don’t last forever, and there is nothing so great as seeing a legend, live, performing the greatest work of his life.
