"TRUTH IN RHYTHM" Quick Takes - Robert Margouleff on Meeting and Producing Stevie Wonder

PLEASE FOLLOW - THANK YOU!

Brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET and hosted by Scott Goldfine — musicologist and author of “Everything Is on THE ONE: The First Guide of Funk” ― “TRUTH IN RHYTHM” is the interview show that gets DEEP into the pocket with contemporary music’s foremost masters of the groove.

Featured in this TIR Quick Take excerpt from Episode 63, innovative music producer and engineer Robert Margouleff recalls how he first met Stevie Wonder and beginning a monumental collaboration.

Margouleff along with collaborator Malcolm Cecil spent the first half of the 1970s helping Wonder record some of the most treasured soul, funk and pop creations of all time. That period includes Wonder’s masterpieces Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions and Fulfillingness: First Finale, which included classic songs such as “Superwoman,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Superstition,” “Maybe Your Baby,” “Living for the City,” “Higher Ground,” “Jesus Children of America,” “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” “Boogie on Reggae Woman,” “You Haven’t Done Nothing,” “Creepin’” and “Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away.”

Never has a recording artist been more at the top of his or her game than Wonder during this stretch. But as mentioned, even though they toiled in relative anonymity for much of ensuing decades, he had some very special help.

In the full TRUTH IN RHYTHM interview, Margouleff reveals how he gravitated toward a career in music production and engineering; the magical and mystical time working with Wonder; subsequent disappointment at not receiving due recognition, not to mention compensation; some of the other artists he has worked with; his perspectives on music technology and its effect on human beings; how he continues to push the ambient music and audio engineering envelope; and why he wishes Wonder would return to making socially charged music again to help us through today’s challenging times.
