Eleven-year-old Little Stevie’s second Motown outing is mostly evidence of the massive young talent they had on their hands and the extent to which they had no idea what to do with him. In this instance, Berry Gordy’s calculated decision to have Wonder record a tribute record to the minted American legend Ray Charles feels both cynical and somehow inevitable. The unsubtle attempt to situate Wonder in the public consciousness as Charles’ successor ignores their inherent musical and regional differences while seeming to place a premium on more superficial similarities. Predictably, the results are pretty weird. Listening to an eleven-year-old boy sing the hardscrabble standards from the Charles repertoire is off-putting, a dissonance made only stronger by the pure, elasticity of Wonder’s remarkable young voice. Singing the savage murder-based traditional “Frankie & Johnny,” Little Stevie might as well be going out for milkshakes. Still and even, the band and singer throws their shoulder into a difficult concept and render some gems. Opener “Hallelujah I Love Her So” swings with agreeable infectious energy and the Wonder co-write “Sunset” hints at the roiling genius lurking in this budding writer and arranger. Overall, clearly minor but interesting.
