Which Stevie Wonder album contains both “I Wish” and “Sir Duke”?

Stevie Wonder’s album Songs in the Key of Life contains both “I Wish” and “Sir Duke.”

Released in 1976, the double album was one of Wonder’s most ambitious projects. “I Wish” is a nostalgic funk song reflecting on childhood, while “Sir Duke” celebrates Duke Ellington and the joy of music. Both became successful singles.

Songs in the Key of Life was recorded during a period when Wonder had unusually strong creative control at Motown. Its broad subject matter includes childhood, relationships, social issues, spirituality, and cultural memory. The album’s elaborate packaging also included a bonus EP titled A Something Extra.

The album is often confused with Innervisions or Talking Book because all three belong to Wonder’s celebrated 1970s period. However, “I Wish” and “Sir Duke” are specifically associated with Songs in the Key of Life.
