Renowned Motown artist Stevie Wonder makes his long-awaited debut in Rock Band on November 15th! Wonder, whose musical career has spanned a remarkable 49 years, is the recipient of multiple industry awards and honors, including 22 Grammy Awards. “Stevie Wonder Pack 01” brings some of this legend’s biggest hits to the Rock Band Music Store next week!
The pack is kicked off with “Superstition,” a now legendary track written by a then 22-year-old Wonder, off of the 1972 album, Talking Book. The funky, Moog synth bass of “Higher Ground” and the grooves of “Living for the City,” both off of 1973’s Innervisions, also make the cut. “Sir Duke,” a Billboard hit written as a tribute to jazz great Duke Ellington, and “I Wish” – both from the double platinum and critically acclaimed album, Songs in the Key of Life – round out the pack.
All tracks feature support for keyboards, as well as harmonies and pro-drums when played with Rock Band 3. Additionally, “Sir Duke” and “I Wish” are both eligible for a Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrade.
Available on Xbox 360, Wii™ and PlayStation®3 system (November 15th, 2011):

I love that we are finally getting Stevie Wonder. I had a lot of "Oh, THAT song" moments in this pack. I still wish we would have gotten Isn't She Lovely. I wish we would have gotten a 9 or 12 pack, but hey I shouldn't be complaining. We are getting the all might and awesome Stevie Wonder!
Goes to show that Harmonix still has some sense of taste
I agree, I think the songs they chose are some of Stevie's best, although I would like Isn't she lovely too, these are great. "I just called..." is the worst song he put out in my opinion.
