Stevie Wonder – Do I Do: A Funk Odyssey of Love and Groove
In the landscape of American music, Stevie Wonder stands as a towering figure. Among his vast collection of hits, “Do I Do” holds a unique position, a funky exploration of love and commitment that pulsates with infectious energy.
Background
Released in 1982 on the compilation album “Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium I,” “Do I Do” marked a departure from Wonder’s previous work.
While still retaining his signature soulful vocals and knack for catchy hooks, the song embraced the burgeoning post-disco sound, incorporating driving rhythms, electronic elements, and a playful sense of experimentation.
“Do I Do” is a masterclass in musical arrangement. Wonder, known for his instrumental prowess, shines on this track. The driving bass line, punctuated by syncopated drum beats, lays down a solid foundation.
