What was the title of Stevie Wonder’s 1968 album featuring “For Once in My Life”?

Stevie Wonder’s 1968 album featuring “For Once in My Life” was titled For Once in My Life. The album was released by Motown during the period when Wonder was moving from teenage stardom toward a more mature musical identity.

The title song had been written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden. Wonder’s recording became one of the best-known versions of the composition, with an upbeat arrangement that contrasted with earlier, slower interpretations by other artists.

The album should not be confused with the single itself. Both carry the same title, but one is a full studio album while the other is the song that became a major hit. Motown frequently built albums around a prominent single, making identical titles common in the label’s catalog.

This release came before Wonder’s landmark 1970s albums, including Music of My Mind, Talking Book, and Innervisions. It therefore represents an earlier stage of his career rather than his later period of extensive artistic control.
