In this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we begin our deep dive into Stevie Wonder’s iconic album Songs in the Key of Life, released in 1976. This two-part series starts with Side One of the double album, where we explore the timeless songs that set the tone for Wonder’s masterpiece. Known for its expansive musical range and socially conscious lyrics, Songs in the Key of Life is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

In Part 1, we take listeners through unforgettable tracks such as "Love’s in Need of Love Today," "Village Ghetto Land," and the celebratory anthem "Sir Duke." We’ll dive into Stevie’s creative process, the inspiration behind these songs, and how he skillfully combined elements of soul, jazz, and funk to deliver music that resonates across generations.

Join us on Dem Vinyl Boyz as we celebrate the brilliance of Stevie Wonder, discussing the themes, intricate arrangements, and profound impact of the first side of Songs in the Key of Life. Get ready for a journey into the heart of one of music’s greatest achievements!

For decades, people who enjoyed music on vinyl records instead of CDs or MP3s were considered dinosaurs. While we like moving at 33 RPM, the rest of the world rushed and went to digital. Not only did vinyl refuse to die but demand is at its highest since at least 1991. It's a good thing Dem Vinyl Boyz saved all their records from back in the day. Because, now we have the biggest collection of 12-inch records on the radio.  Dem Vinyl Boyz love the joy of sliding a classic album out of its cover; the crackle of a needle just dropped into a groove; the careful way to pick up and flip a record when a side ends. On the podcast each week we feature a different piece of music history on vinyl record. Dem Vinyl Boyz experience the album front and back, giving you commentary and music facts along the way. Put your ear buds in and let us take you on a musically journey listening to the greatest music of all time and the history of how it became legendary. Dem Vinyl Boyz! Respect The Technique
