YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE
1972
Stevie penned this enduring love song around the
time he met future wife Syreeta Wright. Initially, the track was to be included
on his ‘Music Of My Mind’ album. Culled from that release, it resurfaced in
time for inclusion on ‘Talking Book’. The Grammy winning song went on to top
the US Pop and Adult Contemporary charts and peak at #7 in Britain. It remains one of the most covered
songs from Stevie’s catalogue. Sadly, by that time, his relationship with Syreeta had ended.
