America's greatest living talent? My vote. [View all]

Stevie Wonder.

I'm sitting here listening to "I Never Dreamed You Leave in Summer" and am just marveling at the man's ability to craft melodies.... and that's before even mentioning his astonishing musical skills on the keyboard, harmonica, etc. And that voice!

And I consider his string of Innervision, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life the most impressive trifecta of consecutive albums ever produced by any musician of any genre, anywhere, and at any time.... and that's not even mentioning Talking Book which preceded those three.
