Stevie Wonder Stevland Hardaway Morris, known best by his stage name, Stevie Wonder, was born May 19th, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan.

He has received more Grammys than any other male solo artist, and is one of the 60 top-selling music artists.

Elements of Music Rhythm Melody Regular 4/4 time signature Trumpet, saxophone, bass, and drums have syncopated rhythm Emphasis is on beat 1 Melody Both the bass and the brass have a repeated ostinato Vocals have a medium to high range Vocals generally “walk” up or down, huge leaps in range are few

Expressive Elements of Music Timbre Vocals are very bright and smooth, although at certain parts, it gets raspy The saxophone has a raspy sound The bass is smooth and bright Tempo It remains at moderato for the entirety of the song The tempo is very steady and is kept by the bass and drums

Superstition Lyrics Very superstitious, writings on the wall, Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh Very superstitious, nothin' more to say, When you believe in things that you don't understand, Very superstitious, the devil's on his way, Then you suffer, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass, Superstition ain't the way Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past Very superstitious, wash your face and hands, Rid me of the problem, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

Why We Like the Song The bass line very rhythmic and sharp The riffs in the vocals are complex and interesting to listen to The songwriting is very good for its time
