#1139 NEVER HAD A DREAM COME TRUE Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder broke through with a respectable string of hits for Motown in the 1960s. As that decade came to an end, the gifted musician / songwriter was approaching his 20th birthday. His label was encouraging him to follow the same hit formula that had fared well for the company thus far, but Wonder was itching to tackle more serious subject matters. This poppy love song sneaks in some political commentary, particularly the line: "Men are men, not machines". Wonder wrote this song with Motown producer Sylvia Moy and member of the Funk Brothers, Henry Cosby. It was issued as a single in 1970.
