Need Stevie Wonder help?

Question

Looking for the earliest possible age he recorded For Once In My life, was it 17? My fiance would love an early cd of his but the earliest doesnt feature that song so wondering if he was a bit older when he recorded it

Answer 1

It was released in 1968.

"Wonder's version was recorded at about the same time as The Temptations' in the summer of 1967. However, Berry Gordy did not like Wonder's version, an upbeat rendition produced by Henry Cosby. Gordy vetoed the single's release, and the recording was shelved. Billie Jean Brown, the head of the Motown Quality Control department, finally coerced Gordy into allowing Wonder's version to be released in October 1968."

You can find the song on this album:
