"I Wish" is a song by American singer Stevie Wonder. It was released in late 1976 as the lead single from his eighteenth album Songs in the Key of Life. Written and produced by Wonder, the song focuses on his childhood from the 1950s into the early 1960s about how he wished he could go back and relive it. The single hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and soul singles chart.[3] At the 19th Grammy Awards, Stevie Wonder won the Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male for this song.
For the television series Classic Albums, Wonder recreated a small section from the song to demonstrate how he composed and arranged it. He played the keyboards and drums himself, and used most of the musicians that recorded the original.[4]
