This is a track included on Musiquarium.

It’s a treasured masterpiece.

The piano is wonderful, and of course it’s Stevie playing.

Aside from the guitar, it’s all his playing.

In live performances, the audience sings along.

A Black R&B group called Intro did a cover, and that’s excellent too.

Toshinobu Kubota has also sung it live, and he delivered a superb performance.

It’s a song so famous that it’s even included in Japanese music textbooks, and there’s hardly anyone in the world who doesn’t know it.

In the making-of video, Stevie, who took part in this song, says, “I believe our mission is to heal people who have lost sight of the meaning of life through song.” I felt like I finally understood why his music is so full of love.

True to Your Heart – MulanStevie Wonder

The theme song from the 1998 film Mulan.

Since it featured a collaboration between the hugely popular 98 Degrees at the time and the legendary Stevie Wonder, fans had high expectations—and it absolutely delivered.

Stevie’s powerful harmonica feels great and the song has a distinctly bright, poppy vibe.

All In Love Is FairStevie Wonder

This song is included on Stevie Wonder’s album Innervisions, which won the 1973 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Carried by beautiful sound and his passionate vocals that resonate in the heart, this masterpiece ballad movingly sings of the beauty of love and the sorrow of heartbreak.

I WishStevie Wonder

A funky number with a groovin’ saxophone sound.

Lady Gaga sang it powerfully at a tribute concert, and it seems she, too, was influenced by Stevie Wonder from a young age.

Will Smith’s arrangement was cool and added great flavor, and I felt that Stevie’s songs possess something absolute and unchanging that can shine in any era and in any way depending on the performer.

I think I now understand why people never stop covering his music.
