A classic from 1969 and his early days.

It’s a romantic song that leaves me spellbound every time I hear it.

I used to think it was a song from his more mature years, but apparently Stevie wrote it when he was 16.

Geniuses really are different from the rest of us.

Stay GoldStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder – Stay Gold Lyrics

A coming-of-age ballad that exquisitely captures a bittersweet yet endearing sense of nostalgia.

Memories come rushing back all at once.

When he looks back on the past, everything seems to sparkle.

He must have lived such a rich life.

This song was born in 1982 from a miraculous collaboration between two geniuses, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

The title represents “the black and white keys of the piano,” and just as those keys create a single harmony, it signifies harmony between white and Black people—in other words, among all humanity.

It is a highly message-driven piece, and it resonated around the world.

Alongside Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder helped energize the musical genre known as New Soul.

He’s an artist with extremely high name recognition in Japan as well, so many of you may already be familiar with him.

When it comes to Stevie Wonder’s Christmas songs, “Someday at Christmas” is probably the best-known.

Of course, that’s a wonderful song, but “Christmas Time” is also highly recommended.

Its relaxed tempo makes it a great pick for jazz lovers too.
