Reposted from @steviewonderlegacy In his own words:

«Innervisions gives my own perspective of what’s happening in my world. That’s why it took me seven months to get together. I think it’s my most personal album. I don’t care if it sells only five copies – this is the way I feel».

50 years ago today (August 3, 1973), Stevie’s landmark recording “Innervisions” was released.

As great as Music of My Mind and Talking Book are, Innervisions is where Stevie Wonder made a quantum leap into that rarified creative air in a manner that only a handful of artists have ever managed to do in the history of pop music.

The record is a smart and beautiful observation of the situation that existed in America in 1973, seen through Stevie’s mind’s eye. Far more than any of its predecessors, Stevie explored a whole spectrum of emotions and issues such as love, pain, joy, tragedy, spirituality, drug abuse, anger, humour, philosophical musings, poignant social commentaries, you name it. And all this expressed in music as powerful, stylistically diverse and resonant as anything Stevie had put out, without ever sacrificing his extraordinary pop sensibility.

A few days after the album’s release, Wonder suffered a car accident that nearly took his life. For a moment, it seemed that Innervisions may have been his last recorded statement. Thankfully, he survived and continued into the prime of his creative career. #Innervisions50

Good morning, friends. 🌸🌸🌸

"Like a long lonely stream I keep runnin' towards a dream Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch on a tree I keep reachin' to be free Movin' on, movin' on" - Stevie Wonder

I had this song on my mind this morning. For some reason, I thought it was by the Rascals, but I was wrong. After looking it up I remembered, of course.

Did you know that you never stop dreaming? Well, it's true. But after many years go by, the things that you find wonder in change. It's called maturity or experience, maybe both. For example, I thought I would want a new car when I retired, but you know what? I don't care about the car, and I barely use the one that I have. What I want is to sit and stare at the sky, watch the birds, and take a photo or two.

"I live in that solitude, which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity." - Albert Einstein

Tony Braunagel, Terry Wilson & Snuffy Walden Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

What do you get when you Zoom with three amigos from Texas who go back over 50 years? A whole lot of fun, rock stories galore, and a ton of love. The Grammy, Emmy, BMI, and Blues Award Winning trio of Snuffy Walden, Tony Braunagel, and Terry Wilson took us back to the 60s in Houston, playing at the Cellar, a strip club in Houston, Tony and Terry off with Johnny Nash and Snuffy off with Stray Dog to open for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They all ended up in London, there was Rabbit, Paul Kossoff, Free, Back Street Crawler, Pete Townshend, and Eric Burdon for all of them, at least twice. Some great war stories along the way… there was Michael Ruff, some crashed cars and trashed hotel rooms. 

Tony took us through his time with Rickie Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, and The Blues Brothers backup band, leading to be an actor and musician on According to Jim. Snuffy getting Chaka Khan, Donna Summers and then segueing to TV, Thirty Something and The Wonder Years, his first foray in––both Emmy-winning shows that year, leading to the West Wing and his own Emmy. Terry partnering with Teresa James in music and in life, their Grammy nod, his song-writing, producing through his latest for Back Street Crawler’s Terry Slesser which reunited him with Tony and Terry. 

They’ve shared many stages and sessions over the years, but it’s their rock-solid friendship borne in decades-long history that sweetens their song. What a joy to be in their joy. A great time was had by all. Lucky me and you to be a fly on that wall.
