3 Stevie Wonder Songs That Still Make Me Want To Dance Today

American Songwriter · 3 hours ago

An American Songwriter piece highlights three Stevie Wonder tracks the author considers irresistibly danceable, spanning the singer-songwriter's peak run of albums in the 1970s. The article uses the songs to illustrate Wonder's knack for blending funk grooves with deeply personal or playful lyrics, underlining his enduring influence as one of soul and R&B's most celebrated songwriters and performers.

The songs featured are "Superstition," a 1972 US number one from Talking Book that Wonder wrote solely and later said was inspired by his scepticism about superstition itself; "Isn't She Lovely," a 1976 tribute to his daughter Aisha from Songs In The Key Of Life, which was never released as a single despite its popularity; and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," a 1970 R&B number one co-written with then-wife Syreeta Wright, his mother Lula Mae Hardaway and Lee Garrett, later covered as a Top 15 hit by Peter Frampton in 1977.
