    Why would you put by a black artist? Do you think white music is better?

    It was not even that at all. On Rolling Stone's List....What's Going On, Was the 6th Best Album Ever Made. To me What's Going On, Is the best album ever made. I actually think Pet Sounds is better than Sgt Pepper's and Abbey Road.

    There are so many good genres and so much great creativity. in the deep future they will look back in history and view 1960-2000 as a HUGE creative peak in artistic culture with African Americans were on the cutting edge. So in saying that if i had to pick JUST ONE!!

    SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE - STEVIE WONDER!

    220px-Songs_in_the_key_of_life.jpg

    if you look at the playlist this is just a sample..

    Love's in Need of Love Today

    Sir Duke
    Stevies tribute to Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and other great swing jazz greats

    I Wish

    Knocks Me Off My Feet
    Donnel Jones made a nice remake of this

    Pastime Paradise
    jacked by Coolio and remade as Gangstas Paradise a #1 Hit

    Isn't She Lovely?
    Tribute to his first born Daughter. you know every word

    As
    better known as UNTIL THE DAY now. its just WOW this is unspeakably great

    Not just the best Album from a black artist.. the best album period!!

    I doubt there is a household left in the world that doesnt own this album lol

    It's the best selling Album in history that wasnt by a group
