Unreleased Benson!
Jazz musicians and singers have been all over Golden Lady since Stevie dropped it. I
love the most recent covers like Cory and others above but I have a special fondness for
Abbey Lincoln's early cover of it..

Yes indeed, Stevie Wonder's "Golden Lady" is a fantastic song [and would've done well as a single]. And seeing how many artists have covered the song, it's truly a favorite.
My current go to Motown song of the moment . Sounds great on the car stereo.
It seems like Stevie is going out of his way to be almost monotone, intentional voice control, not running his voice all over the place. It creates an element of calmness to this piece. Jazzy smooth.
Quite a few renditions , but apparently only Jose Feliciano released a single.
