Stevie Wonder won the Grammy for Album of the Year three consecutive times from 1974 through 1976.
Wonder’s winning albums were Innervisions, Fulfillingness’ First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life. The run made him the first artist to win Album of the Year in three straight ceremonies, a record-setting achievement in the award’s history.
The victories reflected a particularly influential period in Wonder’s career. His albums combined soul, funk, pop, jazz, electronic keyboard sounds, and socially conscious songwriting. “Living for the City,” “You Haven’t Done Nothin’,” and “Sir Duke” are among the well-known tracks associated with this era.
This record is sometimes confused with the record for the most total Album of the Year wins. Several artists have reached four victories, but Wonder’s distinction is the consecutive three-ceremony sequence.
