Eivets Rednow

1968 studio album by Eivets Rednow (Stevie Wonder) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eivets Rednow is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter, and musician Stevie Wonder. Released on the Gordy Records label on November 20, 1968, it is a fully instrumental album and was the first to have songs that are solely credited to Wonder.[1] The album was created as a follow-up to the successful single "Alfie".[2] "A House Is Not a Home", another song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, also appears on the album. The album reached No. 37 on the U.S. R&B charts.[3] "Eivets Rednow" is an anadrome of "Stevie Wonder"; Wonder's name does not appear on the cover of the original releases.[4]
