Happy birthday Stevie Wonder!

It's hard to pick a Stevie Wonder song.

Do you go back to the very early days or the more recent work? I like them all!

Today, we wish a very happy # 59 to a wonderful performer and songwriter. From "Fingertips" to "My Cherie Amour" and so many others, Stevie Wonder has been a prolific artist.

It's hard to pick a song.

It's not hard to pick an album.

"Songs in the key of life" was released in 1976 and belongs in every popular music collection. It sounds good 30-plus years later.

My favorite tune from the album was: "Ngiculela-Es Una Historia-I Am Singing"!

It's a wonderful ballad in 3 languages, although I must confess that I don't understand the first one. The second and third verses are in Spanish and English, respectively.

I love the melody and the arrangement:
