A track written by Motown songwriters Ron Miller and Bryan Wells.

One of the first Christmas songs to carry social and political messages, it was originally released in 1967.

This version, featuring vocals by Andra Day, is used in an Apple commercial.

Send one your loveStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder – Send one your love (1979)

It’s a gentle song that softly gives a nudge to someone hesitant to fall in love.

Stevie always gives us the gift of words.

I think it’s up to those of us who receive them to consider how we can cherish them as our own.

Outside My WindowStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder – Outside my window

This song is included on the album The Secret Life, Stevie Wonder’s first film soundtrack, released in 1979.

While most of the tracks on the album are instrumental pieces incorporating elements of classical, jazz, and world music, this song features his vocals.

From the “la la la” in the intro, it leaves a striking impression and feels quintessentially Stevie.

SunshineStevie Wonder

This is another song Stevie Wonder dedicated to his wife.

I feel like songs by Black artists often use very straightforward expressions, which makes them very easy to understand.

“You are the sunshine of my life”—if a woman hears that she’s the sunshine of someone’s life, she’d simply be happy, right?

PositivityStevie Wonder

I love this song! It’s an incredibly uplifting track that teaches the importance of staying positive no matter what.

When he came to Japan that year, he performed it on Music Station with Aisha on backing vocals.

I was so jealous of Tamori-san, who kept saying, “How luxurious!”
