On This Day: May 4, 1982 - Stevie Wonder Releases Original Musiquarium
On May 4, 1982, Stevie Wonder released his compilation album Original Musiquarium I, a double LP featuring some of his biggest hits from the 1970s along with four brand new tracks. The album served as both a celebration of his incredible run during the previous decade and a showcase of new material that kept his creative momentum going.

Original Musiquarium included classics like Superstition, Sir Duke, and Living for the City, along with new songs such as Do I Do and That Girl which became hits in their own right.

Fun fact: The track Do I Do featured jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet and ran over ten minutes in its full version, blending funk, jazz, and pop into one of Stevie Wonder’s most ambitious recordings.
