“Superstition” remains the quintessential funk anthem, released in 1972 as the lead single from Stevie Wonder’s seminal 15th studio album, ‘Talking Book’. While famous for its Hohner Clavinet riff, the track is equally renowned for its iconic drum performance, played by Wonder himself. The drum tracks reveal a masterclass in syncopation, featuring a tricky, evolving one-handed hi-hat intro and hidden bass drum ghost notes that often get lost beneath the song’s driving bassline. Reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, the song earned two Grammy Awards and has since been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest songs of all time, standing as a testament to Stevie’s singular genius as a multi-instrumentalist.
