Stevie Wonder – Shelter in the Rain

Here is a song included on Stevie Wonder’s 2005 release, A Time to Love.

It uses rain as a metaphor for hardship, conveying a message of Stevie’s deep love: no matter how tough things get for you, I’ll be a shelter that protects you from the rain.

His uniquely stylish chord progressions are also exceptionally appealing.

The song was written for his first wife, who was battling illness, and after its release it was issued as a single to support charity efforts for Hurricane Katrina.

Smile PleaseStevie Wonder77rank/position

Stevie Wonder – Smile Please

This is the song that opens “First Finale,” and it’s simple and beautiful.

But true to Stevie, there’s a bit of playfulness in the chorus.

The fact that there are always a few gentle, warm songs like this on his albums is exactly where Stevie’s craftsmanship shines.

Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)

Included on Stevie Wonder’s 1972 album “Talking Book” and released as a single, this song is an epic piece whose album version runs a full eight minutes.

It’s a grand, two-part composition that effectively links two entirely different songs under the same lyrical theme.

It seems to have been a particularly meaningful piece for him, but unsurprisingly it didn’t really catch on with the general public.
