Yes another total classic! This morning at work when I first flipped on the radio Pastime Paradise started playing! I thought - how synchro. Then continuing for the next several hours a Stevie song was played about every two or three songs. I thought wow, REALLY synchro. Finally it was announced that the station was celebrating Stevie's birthday today! The station, by the way is KJLH (acornym for Kindness, Joy Love and Happiness" and it has been owned by Stevie for years. I switched over to listening there about a month ago when all the public radio in L.A. was starting to put me to sleep. It's been a beautiful day listening to mostly Stevie from all across his catalog. Sigh. > a couple of years ago, for a george michael greatest hits project, he and > mary j. blige did a duet cover of 'as'. This sounds absolutely stunning - I would love to hear this and will hunt around for it. Amazing at how Stevie's music is never dated and either holds up timelessly or becomes more appreciated with time. Raising my martini glass to Mr. Wonder tonight for bringing so much musical and spiritual joy to me and so many others. Kakki NP: Love's In Need of Love Today
