Stevie Wonder – Someday At Christmas (1967)
Stevie Wonder’s first Christmas album is a beautiful blend of Motown soul, traditional festive standards and original seasonal songs. Released on Tamla in November 1967, when Wonder was just 17, the album was produced by Henry Cosby and features the legendary Motown studio musicians, the Funk Brothers, alongside arrangements by Wade Marcus and David Van De Pitte.
The title track, written by Ron Miller and Bryan Wells, is the standout: a soulful, poignant plea for a world without war, hatred or hunger. Its message gives the song a depth rarely found in Christmas recordings, and it has since become one of Motown’s most enduring festive classics. Other highlights include the upbeat “What Christmas Means To Me”, the joyful “The Little Drummer Boy”, “Silver Bells” and Wonder’s lovely interpretation of “The Christmas Song”.
The album also has an interesting Motown connection, with “What Christmas Means To Me” co-written by Anna Gordy Gaye, sister of Berry Gordy and wife of Marvin Gaye. Nearly 50 years later, Wonder revisited the title track in a duet with Andra Day for Apple's 2015 Christmas campaign.
A timeless Christmas soul classic, full of youthful energy, heartfelt vocals and the unmistakable Motown sound
