You think they knew this was a hit when it was recorded?

That's his baby daughter's voice at the end btw...

*edit*
His baby's voice is at the end of "Isn't She Lovely".

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I do. Stevie Wonder wasn't dropping paper weights. Dude was a legend in the game since he was 12.

Every time he recorded something, him and everybody in the studio went " another one"

You go into the booth with the greatest music artist qof the modern era (yep I said it) I would assume that there would be the expectancy that any thing produced would be a hit.

I'm not even gonna hold you Stevie is the personification of Love. Mike was good but Stevie is a whole order of magnitude above him.

I think he knew it would be timeless.

"WONDER: The point of lyricizing is that I do come up with the basic idea; the basic melody and lyric idea from the feel of the song. I get that, and then it depends when I’m going to write the lyric. “Overjoyed” from the next record, I wrote the lyrics about a year after I had the basic idea in my mind. And I didn’t do it all at one time."
