Stevie Wonder: Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants (Motown)

LET'S ASSUME that you didn't think that Songs in the Key of Life was a total bust. It was over hyped for sure, overblown in part, a little simple in spots, a little dull, but it didn't contain much more than the usual amount of forgivable dead air that many a good double album has and most of it was engagingly clever, happy, an upbeat holding pattern at a well-earned career plateau.
