About Lady

"Golden Lady" is a song by Stevie Wonder for the Tamla (Motown) label, from his 1973 Innervisions album. While it was never released as a single, the album itself peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top 200. The love song, written by Stevie Wonder contrasts with the other songs on the record that comment upon societal issues within America. Examples include his comments on drug addiction within the song "Too High" and his political commentary on US President Richard Nixon in "He's Misstra Know-It-All". This song is influenced by the montuno style due to the chord progression and syncopated rhythms found within its chorus. He uses this montuno idea at a later date when he releases the song "Don't You Worry ‘bout a Thing." It also incorporates a picardy third in the ending of the chorus which typically found within Classical music. The piece also noticeably demonstrates some of Wonder's compositional tendencies, including implementation of a line cliche, half step modulations, rhythmic syncopation and sequencing of the melody.

Lady when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
