I Wish - Stevie Wonder (1976)

"I Wish" is a hit funk/disco song by Stevie Wonder. It was released in 1976 as a single and included on the album "Songs In The Key Of Life". Written and produced by Wonder, the song focuses on his childhood. The single hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and Soul singles chart. The song evolves around an 8 note bassline, which is repeated throughout the whole song (although the specific octave of the bass line does change). The key of the piece, like several other of Wonder's hits, is E♭ Minor, although the bridge of the piece is slightly different. The keyboard part consists of two chords during the chorus and verse: E-flat minor 7th (third inversion) and A-flat 7 (first inversion). Stevie Wonder also created a multi-layered monophonic synthesizer part which runs through the song's entirety. Throughout the chorus and verse, this varied Minor pentatonic scale (which can be played using just the black notes on a keyboard) is repeated and adds depth to the song. This piece has a syncopated horn section, as well. "Songs In The Key Of Life" was released on Tamla/Motown Records on September 28, 1976. It was the last of five consecutive albums widely hailed as his 'classic period' along with "Music Of My Mind", "Talking Book", "Innervisions" and "Fulfillingness' First Finale". An ambitious double LP with a 4-song bonus EP, "Songs In The Key Of Life" became among the best-selling and most critically acclaimed albums of his career. In 2003, the album was ranked number 56 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
