novapsyche[Error: unknown template qotd]Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder.
When the album was released, I was two. I learned how to talk, read lyrics, and sing from this album.
Songs is a double-album, and it goes through (as the title implies) nearly all the stages of life. As it happens, I bought this album on cassette at my first opportunity (to play on my Walkman, of course); I wore the tape out. I had to buy the dual cassettes again. Then, when CDs became a medium, Songs in the Key of Life was among the first I ever bought. I still retain that copy. It is a cornerstone of my repertoire.
The harmonies will live through me forever.
