Stevie Wonder, Yolanda Adams, Beverley Knight, Ahsan - Ribbon In The Sky

Staying in a more commercial mood - could this be Stevie Wonder's best song?

Many have tried to cover this song and many have failed miserably as it simply cannot be matched as this is a masterpiece.  However, Yolanda Adams' live version is superb and Birmingham's own Beverley Knight also did a great job recently at The London Palladium in Oct 2019.

Initially released on Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium 1, which was essentially a greatest hits album, but this was one of only a few original tracks which was then released as a single in 1982.

Criminally, this didn't even make the UK Top 40 falling outside at #45 and sandwiched between the bland Ebony & Ivory with Paul McCartney and the 'cheesy' I Just Called To Say I Love You' both of which got to #1 ... can anyone please explain this to me?



I came across this, which touched me, the sheer class of Stevie surprising young Ahsan who does a terrific job of this song. If this clip doesn't move you then you have no soul! Please don't skip it, you need to watch from 2:10 and see what happens!

Not sure when or where this was recorded but this lady is sheer class! No pressure ... only performing it in front of 'The Man'!
