Stevie Wonder - Hotter Than July (1980)

'Hotter than July' is an album by Stevie Wonder, originally released on the Tamla Motown label on September 29, 1980. Inspired by the growing popularity of Bob Marley's music and its clear messages against war, "Master Blaster (Jammin)" was Wonder's way of honoring Marley. The song was a big hit too. The ballad "Lately" and "Happy Birthday" were other notable successes from the album. Wonder wrote "Happy Birthday" in order to commemorate Martin Luther King and used the song to campaign for King's birthday, January 15, to become a national holiday in the USA. The inlay of the compact disc contains images of Martin Luther King and some of his famous protests.
