Wonder's music had been undergoing a marked change in his music style from Motown Pop to a more personal style. This shift had been evident on his two prior albums, But it was ''Talking Book'', and "Superstition" in particular that brought the new style to the awareness of the public in general. "Superstition" is immediately recognizable for its Funk y opening Clavinet Riff . The song also heavily features Brass Instrument s, notably a saxophone lead by Trevor Laurence and the electronic Arp and Moog Synthesizer sounds that Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff helped to create for the album. Wonder performed "Superstition" on the Children's Television Show '' Sesame Street '' in 1973 . The song has also been covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan (Vaughan and Wonder had mutual admiration for one another; Wonder would later write the song "Stevie Ray Blues" in honor of Vaughan) and by Beck, Bogert & Appice which would prove to be a minor hit for the group. The distinctive riff was used to remix Alicia Keys ' hit " Karma ", which was dubbed the "Karmastition Remix". SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
