Stevie Wonder - Thank You For Loving Me All The Way


On this day 23 October 1962, 12 year old Little Stevie Wonder recorded his first single for Motown Records, 'Thank You For Loving Me All The Way.' 



 












Composed by Clarence Paul / Eddie 
Holland / William Stevenson. Produced & Arranged by Clarence Paul & William Stevenson
Musicians - Funk Brothers. Released as B side to Castles In The Air in January 1964.



 The soulful, bossa nova-inflected track—anchored by a still-subversive lyrical twist at track's end—was hardly a runaway success, but kicked off the career of one of the most influential and important songwriters in 20th century music.
