Stevie Wonder (1973) Misstra Know It All - LOST 70s GEMS
This is a masterpiece never spoken about in the air as his biggest hits, this tune form Stevie Wonder's Innervisons album is formed on a laidback jazz piano progression and suitably slick beat. Wonder' s melody so hopeless yet confidently delievred with a deceptive glibness. The wearied observations about Misstra Know It All, a veiled dig at President Nixon still works on a deeper level such as Living in the City about timeless values of self respect and the individual over the stern authority..who don't know everything.
