It’s #MotownMonday, and this week, we’re throwing it back to Stevie Wonder’s 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐲 π‹π’πŸπž performance on theedsullivanshow! 🎢 Written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden for Motown Records’ Stein & Van Stock publishing company,’ Wonder described the song as β€œa great tune, but it lacked excitement. The other interpretations were beautiful – but too old fashioned. I wanted to do the song the way I felt it. You know the bit where I go β€œwow”! That is after the music starts you become aware of the mood of the song – and then you just have to go β€œwow”. Even though it was a ballad and I loved it as that, I felt the tune could be done in the form of rejoicing in meeting someone who needed me. I was excited and recorded it that way.” Watch the full performance at the Link in our Story! #StevieWonder #ForOnceInMyLife #MotownMusic #BlackMusicMonth
