The first entrant in Backbeat Books' new "Goes to 11" series, this fun and informative book explores Stevie Wonder's place in pop music history through eleven of his most important songs. Track by track, it offers a telescopic look at each star in Wonder's brilliant, funky constellation, giving the backstory of every song along with an explanation of the musical and cultural environment into which it was released. Together they form a composite picture of an artist who is a veritable pop vortex: an artist among artists, continually drawing in and disseminating musical influence.
