The very first single. It suits the narrative to say that Wonder was fully formed when he first arrived on Motown’s doorstep, yet he was treated little more than a novelty. There’s little sign that the singer is expected to have a career by the end of 1962, with the “aw, look at our blind genius child” song and packaging like he was a mini-Ray Char...
Written by Wonder’s mentors Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby, Fingertips originally appeared as a jazz instrumental on Stevie’s first album The Jazz Soul Of Little Stevie. This version was recorded in June 1962 at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois. The “Part 2” happened when Stevie came back on stage, catching out the next band’s musicians who ha...
The first Stevie Wonder hit to be co-written by himself, along with Sylvia Moy and Henry Crosby, Uptight proved to be a bit of a lifesaver: Motown were about to drop him, as Berry Gordy thought that the 15 year old’s voice breaking might put people off. Stevie was keen to rival the driving beat of the Stones’ Satisfaction, and on the day of recordi...
The first sign of Stevie growing up from his teen-pop ways and developing an interest in social commentary, this song by Ronald Miller and Bryan Wells yearns for a rest from everyday toil and speaks of a sun “for everyone”. It became his fourth US Top 10 hit, reaching No. 9 in December 1966. Stevie also recorded an Italian version entitled Il Sole ...
Stevie wrote this with Sylvia Moy and Henry Crosby, and – in possibly a pop first – his mother Lula Mae Hardaway. Backed by Motown’s in-house crack team of session musicians the Funk Brothers at Hitsville USA in Detroit, the distinctive riff features Eddie Willis on electric sitar, an exotic instrument used on many Motown songs of the period. With ...
A bit of a rum turn for the then-ascendant young man was this instrumental easy listening cover of the Bacharach and David song. Cilla Black, Cher and Dionne Warwick all had hits with it, but this became the lead track on the ‘Eivets Rednow’ album, which was released on the Gordy subsidiary of Motown. The album also saw the debut of songwriting cre...
For Once In My Lifehad already been a hit for Tony Bennett, recording in the more conventional ballad style. Originally written by songwriters Ron Miller and Orlando Murden for Motown’s Stein & Van Stock publishing company, Stevie’s uptempo take wasn’t liked by Berry Gordy, and so he shelved it, until Billie Jean Brown, head of Motown quality contr...
Stevie co-wrote this song with Cosby and Moy, which was originally entitled Oh, My Marsha, in honour of Wonder’s girlfriend who he’d dated at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. The backing was recorded on November 8 1967; Stevie’s vocal was recorded in January 1968, but the song wasn’t released for a year due to Stevie’s vocal ...
This Ron Miller/Bryan Wells song became Stevie’s biggest UK hit yet, reaching No. 2 in 1969. With Stevie reflecting back on the old days at the grand old age of 20, it seemed like he might have gone a bit light-entertainment in an era of social commentary. Indeed, the accompanying album saw covers of standards such as Hello Young Lovers and At Last...
This lushly arranged song was augmented by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, some of whose members had previously formed the San Remo Golden Strings with members of The Funk Brothers and released a few albums in the late Sixties, with popular northern soul tracks such as San Remo Strings and Festival Time. Written with Cosby and Moy, this was the lea...
