What, in your opinion, are the handful of Stevie Wonder songs that best showcase his harp playing skills? Thanks

Boogie On Reggae Woman is a great one, and it's on a diatonic instead of a chromatic.

@ Adam: I believe the first Fingertips vid is part 2 of the song.
I give "little" Stevie Wonder props..The chromatic is a hard harp to play. Always liked his stuff,but sadly I have forgotten about him in my world of harp players...Man! how could I.. ;)

No one plays chromatic like Stevie Wonder. Start with Fingertips and the solo from For Once in My Life (Which Richard Hunter has transcribed in his excellent book Jazz Harp). Add Alfie (From Evits Redinow) and Isn't She Lovely. And then analyze Big Brother (from Talking Book).
He's got the fattest tone since Larry Adler and the most supple & sweet high end ever.
