This episode is legendary among dance DJ's and electronic music producers. This was the first time that a broad audience was exposed to sampling. This episode showed what you could do with sampling and how it sounded. Stevie Wonder records the Huxtables and immediately can manipulate the sound. He comes up with a cute track apparently spontaneously. In the next decades, electronic digital sounds came to dominate pop music.

A Touch of Wonder
phildogg2117 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The cast would have been so excited by the concept of having a legend guest star in one of the most special episodes - Mr. Stevie Wonder.
Theo and Denise get in a car accident with Stevie Wonder. Theo picks up the ringing home phone and thinking it is Cockroach impersonating Stevie Wonder, it is actually Stevie. He invites the whole family to a recording session.
The soul of this episode is really in the scene in the recording studio with Stevie, even if he shows up for one scene. A bonus part of this scene is the fact that Stevie shows his acting/comedic chops and putting the family on his new record.
Stevie picks Clair to sing 'I Just Called To Say I Love You' with him. The chorus hits. Clair signals the kids to get up and join them and sing with them. A moment like this is enough to make you smile and sing along with them.
One of my favorite episodes.
