"Golden Lady" is a song by the American musician Stevie Wonder, released in 1973 on his album Innervisions. While it was never released as a single, the album itself peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top 200.[1] The love song, written by Stevie Wonder contrasts with the other songs on the record that comment upon societal issues within America.[2] Examples include his comments on drug addiction within the song "Too High" and his political commentary on US President Richard Nixon in "He's Misstra Know-It-All".[3]

This song is influenced by the montuno style due to the chord progression and syncopated rhythms found within its chorus.[citation needed]
