Editorial Review:
He's been wonder-ful for five decades. He's hit the top of every chart from Pop to R&B, Dance to Adult Contemporary, as a young kid and as a legendary influential artist with nearly two dozen GRAMMY's in his wake. But until now never has there been a collection of Stevie Wonder's NUMBER 1 hits across the years. Stevie Wonder NUMBER 1's covers this special artist's career, from his first smash hit Fingertips Pt. 2 to Signed, Sealed Delivered I'm Yours (his first self-production); his many ballad classics including You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Overjoyed; and his monster jams from Superstition to Skeletons right up to his most recent NUMBER 1, So What The Fuss, from A TIME TO LOVE.
Number Ones Reviews:
All The Best 
2009-04-28 - Always wanted a "best of" with Stevie Wonder and this fit the bill. You can hear the changes in his style over the years by the songs going chronologically. Not sure about the "Eco-Friendly" package, but the music is Stevie!
An American Treasure.
2009-03-05 - This is a great collection of an American 20th century musical genius. Stevie Wonder is and always will be the King of Funk!
Good collection 
2008-07-21 - I enjoyed this collection of his hits. Wife and I love some of the romantic songs here...
LEGENDARY WONDER...BRAVO STEVIE!!!
2008-07-03 - Little Stevie Wonder came in to my life in the summer of 1963 with the awesome soulful classic "Fingertips" and now in 2008 thankfully had the pleasure to see this legendary wondrous singer/composer in concert at the Hollywood Bowl and a capacity enthralled crowd didn't want this incredible performer to leave after 2 1/2 hours of pure musical bliss! Little Stevie continued after "Fingertips" with a great mix of mega-hits too numerous to list but "Uptight" & "I Was Made To Love Her" are but a few of the great songs from this masterful artist who writes and sings better than anyone...harmonica treats abound and the soulfully delicious "I Was Made To Love Her" is timeless in its infectious grandeur as is the memorable "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours". Maturity brought on funky jammers like "Superstition" which gave a new sophisication and level of greatness to this type of funky soulful rockers plus a new timeless standard was born with the release of "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" covered by such diverse greats as Morgana King and Liza Minnelli who were inspired to do their best with a great Stevie Wonder song! Stevie Wonder continued to mature and grow and "Higher Ground" & the mesmerizing "Living For The City" are classic examples.
"You Haven't Done Nothing" is a treat by Stevie and brilliantly covered by Joe Cocker in 2008 and it is hard to pick the best version as both masters nail this great song and "Boogie On Reggae Woman" is another funky cooker where Stevie is at his best. "I Wish" is a complex funky cooker that could only be done by Stevie and this one is a classic!
A brilliant homage to the Duke is one of Stevie's finest recorded moments & classics abound such as "That Girl", "I Just Called To Say I Love You", "Part-Time Lover" and fill this masterful collection of legendary stellar performances that define what great music is all about and this legend is blessed with a stunning voice in addition to being one of the great composer/songwriter's of his generation so here is a legend who can do it all! This is a great collection for Stevie's fans and for a introduction to this great this amazing collection would be a fine starting point...BRAVO STEVIE WONDER!!!
Absolutely Awesome
2008-06-16 - This is my first Stevie Wonder CD and I just can't get over how awesome he is and how long it took me to "discover" him. Being familiar with his hits in the 80's, I only associated him with "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and "Part-Time Lover", but his earlier stuff, especially "Superstition" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", is better, in my opinion. I love how joyous he is - it makes the listener happy!
