  • It’s an optimistic affair, opening up with a sunny lyric to Pat Metheny’s Better Days Ahead – and sounding a bit like Mark Murphy

  • Impeccable production values (some might say squeaky clean and anal retentive ones), intelligent lyrics and a yen for gang-pressing the best jazzmen into recording service, Don Fagen and Walter Becker were (and still are) the business


    Stevie Wonder
    Short reviews of most of his albums.

  • using them to create emotionally expressive sounds), and nonstop melodic, harmonic and even lyric invention

  • All the tunes are his, as are a good chunk of the lyrics, the numerous keyboard and synth tracks, the backing band - it's basically Wonderlove - and, of course, the incredible arrangements

  • Syreeta Wright, however, deserved the favor: her voice is excellent even though she fades on the very highest notes, and her lyrics are entertaining

  • The lyrics are often preachy ('Have a Talk with God'; 'Black Man') or just shallow ('I Am Singing'; 'If It's Magic'); the hits are great but form a distinct minority ('Isn't She Lovely'; 'Sir Duke'; 'I Wish'); and Stevie loses all control as a producer, allowing himself to drag three- minute pop songs into seven-minute repeat-a-thons ('Love's in Need of Love Today'; the aptly titled 'Ordinary Pain')


    Joe Cocker

    Ben Harper: Will = Power
    ASCAP's Music Meets Business interview with Ben by Randy Grimmett.

  • Despite the differences in mediums, Harper seems a logical successor to poets of the people like Angelou, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and even Walt Whitman, yet his inventive fusion of blues, reggae, rock, gospel, folk and acoustic roots music adds multiple meanings and dimensions to his lyrics

  • Music doesn't have to be a statement through its lyrics only -- it can have a statement in its rhythm as well as its lyrics

  • Lyrics have to be joined to music

  • In your writing, do the melody or the lyrics come first? They both come
