I was very dissapointed with this Hits of Stevie Wonder if I could have listen to the songs before I bought it I would not have bought it.

I was interested because this karaoke manufacturer is the only one I am aware of that has released a CD+G with "Do I Do" on it. I am a huge fan of Stevie Wonder, and "Do I Do" is my favorite song from his entire catalogue. It really swings, with great guitar and percussion as well as some nice horn flourishes...don't forget Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet solo, either. :) The rendition of the song on this disc is AWFUL. Yes, I know karaoke versions don't sound exactly like the original record. However, this one sounds NOTHING like how "Do I Do" is supposed to sound. The production company transformed the song into an unrecognizable smooth jazz mess.

Mind you, I do like jazz records...but not jazz records that are supposed to be R&B dance records. Thankfully, I was able to find :30 clips of all the songs on this disc, and I heard enough to not shell out any money for it. If you like Stevie's records and you like karaoke, stay far away. You will be disappointed.

No real complaints about the quality of the product but, Pocket songs used a terrible singer for the vocals.
