Why is Stevie Wonder so underrated today?

[FukkaPaidEmail]

When people talk about great black musicians they always talk about Prince,Marvin Gaye, and that over-rated nikka Micheal Jackson,but I rarely hear nikkas discuss Stevie ..which is funny because that dude >>> all of them

Dude discography is crazy:Talking Book,Innervisions,Songs in the key of life ().Only nikka more slept on than him in my opinion is Little Richard.





I can listen to this dude forever..

People nowadays (actually on this very site) hold people like R. Kelly in higher regard than most legends... so nothing surprises me..

MJ is not overrated at all though.

and Marvin was a gifted singer, competent musician.
Stevie was a good singer, gifted musician.

apples and oranges.

Agree with TS, Stevie isn't celebrated like then others he listed. I mean for goodness sake someone up here said Marvin is a better musician than Stevie, Marvin sang better slow songs and that's it. Now as far as being a musician, Stevie rules that hands down because the others mentioned all stole something from Stevie. I take nothing away from the others but this is Stevie we're talking about.

I think I could see why tho

Naw...who's underrated??? The Isley Brothers. They NEVER get mentioned. Never.

R&B, Soul, Funk music doesn't gravitate to the Y generation like previous ones.
As time pass, certain artist will too.
Those forms of music cannot compete with Hip-Hop today.
