What is the title of Stevie Wonder’s 1980 album inspired by Jamaican reggae?

Stevie Wonder’s 1980 album inspired by Jamaican reggae is Hotter than July.

Released in September 1980, Hotter than July incorporated reggae influences, especially on “Master Blaster (Jammin’).” That song was a tribute to Bob Marley and became one of Wonder’s biggest hits, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album also included “Happy Birthday,” Wonder’s campaign song supporting a national holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. The song helped draw public attention to the holiday movement before the U.S. officially observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Hotter than July was Wonder’s 19th studio album and his first platinum-selling album in the United States. Its title is sometimes mistaken for a lyric or single title, but it refers to the complete album.
