Stevie Wonder has recently started pumping out a slew of singles, including the classic Wonder of “Where Is Our Love Song?” with Gary Clark Jr and the political hip-hop track “Can’t Put Your Hands In Fate” featuring Busta Rhymes, Rapsody, Cordae, and Chika. However, this week’s “Single of the Week” isn’t one of those tracks. It’s not even a piece of music. It’s a passionate plea to humanity that was sent to the world on Election Day. As of publish date, the US Presidential Election still hasn’t been called, but all signs point to Biden/Harris winning. (God I hope so! If Trump/Pence really wins this thing, I can’t imagine it being safe to hold large events anytime in the next few years)
So, while we frantically refresh and await the networks to call this thing, maybe listen to a national treasure give some wisdom from his long time on this Earth. Songs In The Key Of Life has been my go-to record for dealing with the fright and stress of this pandemic and administration, and he continues to help remind me when to stay calm and when to fight.
