[1970-1974 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1973, #26
You've probably heard Superstition so many times, you can't even remember what it sounds like anymore. You may have even gotten so burned out on it that you refuse to listen to it anymore.
Get it on your iPod. Get a high-quality recording of it. Play it loud - not excessively, but loud enough. Listen to every beat, the bass-line, every horn. Follow how tight together the instruments play, and how they drift apart and find each other again. Notice the seamless blending of Jazz, Rock, and Funk. It's like all the greatest musicians of the day gathered together, and unanimously agreed Stevie should sing.
It's a masterpiece.
