Original Musiquarium is Stevie Wonder’s 1982 double-album masterpiece. The Gold certified work captures several of Wonder’s most popular ‘70s hits and peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums. This tremendous compilation includes the hits “Superstition,” “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” “Living For The City,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Higher Ground,” “Sir Duke,” “Boogie on Reggae Woman” and “I Wish.” Original Musiquarium highlights everything Wonder does well, absolutely essential.

Released in 1982, the double-album Original Musiquarium I summarizes Stevie Wonder’s classic period of the ’70s, concentrating primarily on the hits, but adding a few album tracks to hint at the depth of his albums, as well as four new songs (one for each side, all pleasant, none particularly remarkable). Though there could be some dispute about the album tracks, this does wind up as an excellent overview of Wonder’s period of greatest activity, and it’s a terrific listen to boot — any record that sports such hits as “Superstition,” “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” “Living for the City,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Higher Ground,” “Sir Duke,” “Boogie on Reggae Woman,” and “I Wish” is guaranteed to be a great listen, and it is. Wonder remains a quintessential album artist, but this record is a terrific snapshot of the highlights.
