Seven Wonders: Uptight (Out of Sight)
a.k.a. my favourite Stevie Wonder song, ever. Every time I hear the opening bars I can’t help but smile. Three mins of pure audio perfection. I have this song in mind for a special occasion, if it ever happens, because I’m not a slow dance kind of person. Who needs a slow dance when you…
