It’s #MotownMonday, and this week, we’re throwing it back to Stevie Wonder’s 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 performance on theedsullivanshow! 🎶

Written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden for Motown Records’ Stein & Van Stock publishing company,’ Wonder described the song as “a 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 “wow”! That is after the music starts you become aware of the mood of the song – and then you just have to go “wow”. 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.”
