Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life [📷 : Motown]“When you feel your life’s too hard / Just go and have a talk with God.” Honestly, 🎙 Stevie Wonder, that’s absolutely prudent advice! Wonder is noted for his positive vibes, and 🎵 “Have A Talk With God”, from his critically acclaimed masterpiece, 💿 Songs in the Key of Life is a prime example of faith, hope, inspiration, positivity – you get the picture! On this incredibly funky joint, Stevie essentially urges all to go into their prayer closet. Even though things may be bad, Wonder tells those who have lost hope or lost their way, “Every problem has an answer and if yours, you cannot find / You should talk it over to Him, He’ll give you peace of mind.” He also urges those who “Never communicate with the One who lives within” to seek Him – “You can talk to Him anytime, He’s always around.” It’s not surprising that “Have A Talk With God” is considered one of the great inspirational soul classics.  Notably, Wonder was nominated for the 🏆 Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance.  Stevie is delivering good news with this one 🙌!
