4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonder Indeed, 5 Sep 2003
I have listened to this album for a while now and I have to say it is a great album to relax to, dance to and definitely one to put a huge big smile back on your face.The album is lovingly compiled by DJ Spinna and DJ Bobbito, who bought out The series 'Wonder Wrote it,' on limited edition. The artists vary from latino greats to some soul legends, but all sound fresh and funky as offer us their versions of some Stevie's classics. Jose Felciano's version of Golden Lady laid down just before Ray the legend' Barretto just has you closing your eyes thinking you are in Cuba with a Cuba Libre hanging in your hand while the sea splashes your toes - nice!!! It then starts to up the pace with some serious funky numbers including Superstition by Sergi Mendes and Brazil 77. The end starts to mellow it down somewhat with Minnie Ripperton and Main Ingredient, but still keeps the funk. The sleeve notes are comprehensive, which adds that little bit extra to a nice album. Keep up the good work Harmless. And to those of you out there, if you love Stevie, but it. If you love Funk and Soul, buy it. If you love putting the smile back on your face, buy it. In fact just do yourself a favour and buy it cause you will enjoy it.
