SUPERSTITION LYRICS - STEVIE WONDER | TALKING BOOK

Superstition is one of the defining songs of Stevie Wonder's career, a funk classic built on a driving clavinet riff that still sounds fresh more than fifty years after it was recorded. Released as the lead single from his fifteenth studio album, Talking Book, it became Wonder's first United States number one in almost a decade and remains one of his most recognisable recordings. Rolling Stone later ranked it No. 74 on its 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
