Stevie Wonder’s Superstition (1972) doesn’t just define funk—it expands it. And before I even dive into the song, let me just say: Talking Book is hands down one of Stevie’s greatest records. If you haven’t listened to it yet, do yourself a favour—put it on, start to finish. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Now, let’s talk about Superstition. Out of all of Stevie Wonder’s hits, this one has to be my all-time number one. That instantly recognizable Hohner Clavinet riff? Pure magic. The groove? Unstoppable. The bassline and drumbeat lock in so tight, they practically drag you onto the dancefloor. And just when you think the funk has maxed out, in comes the horn section—because let’s be real, a funk track with horns? YES, PLEASE.

And if we’re talking memories, nothing beats witnessing Stevie himself perform this track live at the Montreal International Jazz Festival’s 30th edition (2009). A sea of people grooving in unison to this classic? Absolute magic.

If you ever need a quick funk fix, look no further. Superstition has got you covered.
