Superstition
1972 · Tamla
Ranked No. 4 in Funk
A clavinet riff so complete it barely needs the rest of the arrangement. Wonder played almost everything on it himself, which is the point: funk here becomes composition rather than a band's collective accident.

Superstition
1972 · Tamla
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
A clavinet riff so complete the arrangement is almost optional. One man playing nearly everything, at the exact moment that became possible.

Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Where the Accent Moved
One man playing nearly everything, at a moment when funk was supposed to be a band sport. The studio turned out not to be the enemy of the group after all.
