His track, "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," not only climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but has also been recognized decades later as one of the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone, earning a spot on the publication's iconic 500 Greatest Songs list.
"Melodies give me a feeling, and from that feeling the words come," Wonder told Oprah in a 2004 interview. "The feeling of the melody is happy, because when I wrote it I was in New York in late spring, early summer. Good things were happening."
The song's success marked a major moment in Wonder's career, reinforcing his transition into a more mature, self-produced artist during one of the most creative periods of his life. It also earned him a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, further cementing its place in music history.
"The song wasn't one that should be played for a special kind of people," Wonder said in a speech at UCLA sponsored by Billboard. "All of us can feel love."
