DJ Spinna: The Wonder of Stevie Vol.3 Vinyl 2LP

Another brilliant compilation of Stevie Wonder goodies compiled by DJ Spinna. If there is anyone on the planet that should have a PhD in Stevie-ology, it would be Vince Williams aka DJ Spinna. Labheads already know his list of accolades as a DJ and producer are countless (creating the long running Wonderfull parties would be one of 'em). But if you were to ask what his greatest musical achievement is - Spinna would tell you it would be forming a strong relationship with his personal hero, Stevie Wonder. From BBE - "An extension of the Wonderfull parties, this album represents a celebration of the life, music and cultural impact of Stevie Wonder. Few compilers can boast Spinna’s understanding of Stevie’s back catalogue, not to mention the large number of songs he’s written for other artists over the years. Featuring stunning cover versions you may well have never heard before alongside songs many of us had no idea he’d written, Spinna’s vast knowledge of and boundless enthusiasm for Stevie’s music shines with every selection. As both a super-fan and a close friend, surely there is nobody better placed to compile this wonderful document of Stevie Wonder’s music, inspiration and influence." 16 tracks from the likes of The Jackson 5, Betty Everett, David Porter, Quincy Jones, GC Cameron, Black Sugar, and more.
