Posted By 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. SiriusXMWhile 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 Superstition by Stevie Wonderwrote and sang the song, showcasing his incredible talent with a catchy, funky beat (even using that word “funky” bring me back to the 1970s). 😊

Funky

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.
