It’s a song so famous that it’s even included in Japanese music textbooks, and there’s hardly anyone in the world who doesn’t know it.

In the making-of video, Stevie, who took part in this song, says, “I believe our mission is to heal people who have lost sight of the meaning of life through song.” I felt like I finally understood why his music is so full of love.

I love this song! It’s an incredibly uplifting track that teaches the importance of staying positive no matter what.

When he came to Japan that year, he performed it on Music Station with Aisha on backing vocals.

I was so jealous of Tamori-san, who kept saying, “How luxurious!”

This is a track included on Musiquarium.

It’s a treasured masterpiece.

The piano is wonderful, and of course it’s Stevie playing.

Aside from the guitar, it’s all his playing.

In live performances, the audience sings along.

A Black R&B group called Intro did a cover, and that’s excellent too.

Toshinobu Kubota has also sung it live, and he delivered a superb performance.

Smile PleaseStevie Wonder

This is the song that opens “First Finale,” and it’s simple and beautiful.

But true to Stevie, there’s a bit of playfulness in the chorus.

The fact that there are always a few gentle, warm songs like this on his albums is exactly where Stevie’s craftsmanship shines.

A track written by Motown songwriters Ron Miller and Bryan Wells.

One of the first Christmas songs to carry social and political messages, it was originally released in 1967.

This version, featuring vocals by Andra Day, is used in an Apple commercial.

Creepin’Stevie Wonder

This is a track from “First Finale.” While it sings about love, it has a melancholy tone.

Stevie’s vocals and harmonica both create a lonely mood.

The fact that there’s a song with this kind of gray touch is also part of Stevie’s world.

I imagine many people are fans of this track.
