Music Monday: Stevie Wonder and “Superstition” from 1972
Posted By RichC on February 24, 2025
“Superstition” is probably one of Stevie Wonder’s most famous songs and was a standout hit in 1972 from his album Talking Book. 
While listening to 70’s music earlier in the month, I grabbed a SiriusXM screenshot and thought it would be a great addition to Music Monday.
The song was the first single from the album and quickly climbed to number one on the charts, becoming a defining moment for the young singer. At just 22, Stevie Wonder 
wrote and sang the song, showcasing his incredible talent with a catchy, funky beat (even using that word “funky” bring me back to the 1970s). 
The lyrics talk about letting go of old beliefs and superstitions, delivered in his soulful voice. This song helped cement Wonder’s place as a music legend, blending a fun sound with a meaningful message that still resonates today. I still enjoy hearing it.
