No. 1 Stevie Wonder
The legendary singer-songwriter wrote some of the most timeless songs of the 60s, 70s and 80s for his own storied career, and tossed off numerous hits to his contemporaries. Between his own classics like “My Cherie Amour,” “Knocks Me Off My Feet,” and “Living For the City” and his songs for others, Stevie is the definitive genius of R&B songwriting. His songs are constantly covered, revisited and sampled by contemporary artists and he remains one of the most revered writers of all time.
Notable songs: “It’s A Shame” (The Spinners), “Til You Come Back To Me” (Aretha Franklin), “I Can’t Help It” (Michael Jackson), “You Are My Heaven” (Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway), “Tell Me Something Good” (Rufus w/Chaka Khan), “Let’s Get Serious” (Jermaine Jackson)
