Same text on Allmusic

[edit]

The text that was added here is mostly the same as the review on Allmusic. Who copied who? Mathonius (talk) 08:49, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The AllMusic review is credited to Rob Bowman. This may be a simple cut and paste from that site. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 03:05, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Dan56 added the Allmusic review back in 2008, when he was creating this page, and nobody has ever sought fit to replace it with something unplagiarized. http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Looking_Back_%28Stevie_Wonder_album%29&oldid=208032654 Sojambi Pinola (talk) 03:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The second paragraph in the section is not from AllMusic. And perhaps it would be more correct to stick with Mathonius's "Who copied who?" I don't actually know the answer, though Dan56 did add an Allmusic link at the same time. I am thankful that Dan56 bothered to create the page in the first place.

Bad Facts

[edit]
  • This was NOT the last anthology until "At the Close of The Century." What of "Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium"? It didn't cover the same period as "Looking Back," but it was an anthology.
  • Also, I see no evidence that "Looking Back" was ever officially titled "Anthology." It does replicate the packaging look of the rest of Motown's "Anthology" series. That doesn't make this "fact" true, however.
  • It might be good to specifically mention the mysterious exclusion of his #13 hit cover of the Beatles' "We Can Work It Out," which earned him a Grammy nomination in 1972.
  • It might also be good to mention that this collection functionally replaced two earlier single LP volumes of "Greatest Hits" collections.
