What was the title of Stevie Wonder’s 1976 double album?

The story behind the answer

Stevie Wonder’s 1976 double album was titled Songs in the Key of Life.

The album was released on September 28, 1976, by Motown. It was issued as a two-LP set and included a shorter bonus record called A Something’s Extra. The expansive project addressed family, love, spirituality, social conditions and everyday life through a broad mixture of soul, funk, jazz and pop.

Its best-known tracks include “Sir Duke,” “I Wish,” “Isn’t She Lovely” and “As.” The album became one of Wonder’s most celebrated works and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1977.

A common mix-up is treating the album as a single-disc release or confusing it with Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, Wonder’s 1979 soundtrack album. Songs in the Key of Life is specifically the landmark double album released in 1976.
