It is a collection of songs that cover social justice, celebrating musical legends, parenthood and just a need to set the dancefloor alight. This song falls into the latter category, it\u2019s got an infectious singalong chorus, percussion going wild, the whole band absolutely jamming out, a horn section that\u2019s unstoppable.. you can tell Stevie was having the time of his life when recording this &#8211; and why not? One thing to note it\u2019s the closing track on an already fantastic album, with a track like Love\u2019s In Need Of Love Today opening it, this was the perfect bookend. The breakdown towards the end CRUSHES it &#8211; with timbales playing and everything coming back in again, this is pure heaven to listen to! There\u2019s an episode of Quantum Leap where\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scottbakula\/\">@scottbakula<\/a>\u00a0performs this in a disco sequence that\u2019s unforgettable &#8211; I remember hearing it and watching that sequence and thinking how well it worked, it still remains one of my favourite episodes. When Daft Punk performed at the Grammys in 2013, they brought Stevie\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nilerodgers\/\">@nilerodgers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pharrell\/\">@pharrell<\/a>\u00a0and they did a medley from Get Lucky to Le Freak into Another Star &#8211; they had the whole venue dancing I have goosebumps even thinking about it, because the arrangement was tight &#8211; what would you expect though? It\u2019s all on YouTube. This track always puts me in a good mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0This week marks 50 years since Stevie Wonder released this phenomenal album.
