I Call It Pretty Music But The Old People Call It The Blues (Part 1) [Second Pressing]Stevie Wonder

Songwriter: Berry Gordy Clarence Paul

Producer: Clarence Paul

[Stevie Wonder]
I was sitting in my classroom the other day
Playing my harmonica in a mellow way
Some teachers seemed to have gathered 'round
Trying to figure out what I was putting down

I call it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues

[Harmonica solo]

They were looking at me sitting there all alone
Mumbling to each other in a real low tone
I couldn't figure out what they were saying
They couldn't understand what I was playing

I call it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues

[Instrumental break]

Well, I call it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues, oh yeah
I call it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues

[Instrumental break]

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
