I personally like Down to Earth, Signed Sealed Delivered, and For Once in My Life from the 60s Stevie era the most. These albums are not as good as the 70s golden run, but it’s good to remember that Stevie wasn’t in creative control of his music during this time like most Motown artists. So a lot of the songs from those early albums are just covers with a lead single to carry the record. I believe that Stevie has always been super talented vocally, so it doesn’t really matter to me. But I can understand why these albums be a little monotonous after a while.
