My Lost Treasure: Stevie Wonder
Our theme right now on My Lost Treasure is places. Cities, towns, countries, states, etc. Today's song doesn't mention a specific city in the title, but it sure does talk about New York City in the lyrics. And it is an awesome song by a musical genius. In fact, Stevie Wonder played all the instruments on this song.
I was still pretty young when this song came out in the early 1970s, but old enough to appreciate what a great tune it is. And let me tell you, New York City was a scary place in the 70s. And it certainly was a tough place to live in, especially if you were not a person of privilege. Today's song really paints the picture. New York City .just like I pictured it.
If you have an idea for a song that fits this theme, or a suggestion for a future theme, pass it on to me. Thanks. Have a great weekend.
