BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Stevie Wonder Live is an important document of an artist in transition, performing as an interpreter rather than the songwriting genius that would eventually blossom with material like "Superwoman," "Superstition," and revolutionary albums such as Songs in the Key of Life. The distinctive harmonica adds Wonder's personality to the big-band rendition of Bobby Hebb's eternal "Sunny"; the modulation and Wonder's vocals make for another perspective on this song that has caught the fancy of Sinatra and the Duke, Ella Fitzgerald, Pat Martino, and labelmate Marvin Gaye. The "innervision" the artist gives to "Sunny" and the harmonica-driven instrumental version of "Alfie" are somewhat expected gems from this artist, but the "Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet is something for the day and foreign to the future live shows of the eventual multi-Grammy award winner. "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day" (mistitled "Shee-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day" on the album jacket) is a glimpse into the future. This is how Wonder sounded when opening for the Rolling Stones in Boston of 1972, that historic night when Mick and the boys were arrested in Rhode Island. The funky keyboards became an ever-present staple and audience favorite. ....
