Abstract
This essay examines Stevie Wonder's ethical reputation, lyrical corpus, and musical style. The ethical appraisal considers such classical virtues as liberality, humility, and piety; the lyrical analysis draws on Plato's six hierarchical levels of love; and the analysis of Wonder's musical style applies Marshall McLuhan's notion of electric technology and the restoration of tribal involvement. Both the reinforcing and the message‐conveying aspects of Wonder's style are examined. Though the essay is grounded in fact, the evaluation is unavoidably subjective. The overall assessment of Wonder is one of virtually unqualified praise. Wonder is viewed as a creative messenger of love and goodness.
