1976
The annual Motown picnic in 1976 inspired Stevie to
write this bouncy track for his ‘Songs In The Key Of Life’ album. His sister
Renee Hardaway is heard on background vocals. Once unleashed, the single
reached the top of both the US Pop and Soul charts. In the UK, the disc climbed
to #5. The song earned Stevie a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal
Performance- Male.
