Stevie Wonder | Pastime Paradise (1976)

"Pastime Paradise" is a song by American musician Stevie Wonder, from the 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life.

1976-05-07 20:00:00 - Stevie Wonder

The song was one of the first to use a synthesizer (the Yamaha GX-1) to sound like a full string section.


Built initially from synth tracks rather than from a drummer setting the basic rhythm, the song is augmented with rhythm performances from Ray Maldonado, Bobbye Hall, and Wonder, and a persistent "chinging" bell pattern by Hare Krishna musicians.


A gospel choir from West Angeles Church of God and Hare Krishna chanting group culminate in a multicultural finale.
