"Another Star" is one of many standout tracks on Stevie Wonder's excellent sprawling album, "Songs In The Key Of Life." The power in Wonder's lead vocals, the backing vocals, and the instrumentation makes me never tire of hearing it. Whenever the song starts, I half-expect the floor to rumble and stationary objects to shimmy off of tables.
Vocally and instrumentally, Althea Rene shows how smoothly "Another Star"'s rhythm works in a jazz context. The smooth gloss on the vocals and easy-on-the-ears flute and saxophone solos make me wonder why I never hear any radio station play it.
