WONDERful Motown May (Stevie Wonder) Top Ten: I Wish (#5)

Tweet

Wow, there are so many great Stevie Wonder songs I may have to throw some extras in there. That goes for Motown, too, as I celebrate the great R&B family of labels throughout May. Here’s today’s tune. #5: I Wish Ah, the joys of childhood. Innocence, trying to get one over on Mom, childhood naughtiness, and learning the lessons (“you grow up and learn that kind of thing ain’t right, but while you were doing it, it sure felt out of sight”). All compacted into a song that’ll have you dancing all over the place. That’s what Stevie Wonder was so, so good at in the 70s. I Wish Written by Stevie Wonder From Songs In the Key of Life, 1976 You nasty boy!
