- "Golden Lady"
Stevie Wonder -- lead vocal, piano, drums, Moog bass, T.O.N.T.O. synthesizer
Clarence Bell -- Hammond organ
Ralph Hammer -- acoustic guitar
Larry "Nastyee" Latimer -- congas
Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
'Cause I'm not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I'll leave it up to you to show it
And golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Take me right away
Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true
There's no way that I'll be losing
And golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're my dream come true
There is no way that I'll be losing
And golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
And golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
And golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady I'd like to go there ...
I HEARD THIS SONG BACK IN JUNE OF 1974......I WAS 14 AT THE TIME.....AND LIFE WAS SO WONDERFUL WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THE SUMMER.
Yes, I was the same age! I know what you feelin'. Past, sweet, innocent, carefree times. My hear hear hurts for those beautiful past days. 😩.
*heart hurts
Lutu Peni Brown
What beautiful moments!! I can just imagine!!!!!!
I was 14 in 1974 too and we had just moved to beautiful,sunny California.
Stevie may be blind, but he sees things the rest of us can't. Here's evidence.
I can believe that
I Agree 🎶Wholeheartedly 🎶🎙🎼🎹🎵And In Just about Every One Of His Songs🎶❤He Speaks Of SEEING ..such an AWESOME spirit 🎶He is Our gift from above 🎶🎻🎙🎧🎼🎵bc we get "2" share in his experience 👍🎶🙋💋❤
For sure..hes the greatest..
Hands can understand...he's been my everything since I heard him as "Little Stevy Wonder!" I love him, please only positive reviews, he would never let you down!
I'd like to go there.
*listen up youngsters - this is the essence of real music*
I agree with you 100
@@markpowell4489 thx Mark i agree with me too
You have a real ear for music
Ya Digg
For real....no sample...just the real thing
He was only 22 when he wrote this, amazing talent!!
Big deal.
And played practically every instrument on the album
Yes@@MIKECNW
Big deal??!!!!!! Really !???;Can you say the same asshole???!!! What a moronic nasty thing 2 say!! Didn't your mama teach u if you have nothing nice 2:say don't say anything!!!
Talent is not age.based. its soul based. Blacks and whites are different....thank god.
This man is truly the 8th wonder of the world. The definition of musical genius, shows a pic of Stevie Wonder.
Amen, my friend. ❤
This song sends me to another place.
Take me right away
The silence at 4:58 is the captavation of us just enjoying being there.😁
Joe amen
Joe You and me too #OnRepeat
Yaaaaas
This song is never played. I know he had great hits, but this is the one that takes me away.
It makes me want to go back to the 70s (my childhood).
Doesn't it? Just beautiful....
Joy Harrison
I'm with you, Miss Joy. This touches a potent, resonant chord, deep inside. This broad period from Stevie W.'s work is magic--"Ribbon In The Sky"; "If It's Magic"; "All In Love Is Fair"; "Higher Ground"; "Too High"; "Boogie On Reggae Woman"; "Visions"; "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"; "As"; "Knocks Me Off My Feet"; "Summer Soft"; "Living For The City"; "Do I Do: "You've Got It Bad"; "Lookin; For Another Pure Love"; "Sir Duke"; "Isn't She Lovely"; "Another Star" "Creepin" and on and on....
AvalonMorley Thank you! It gives us that warm, nostalgic feeling.
I'm somewhat surprised that this is a favorite of so many. It DEFINITELY is my favorite because of the introduction and, on a personal note, it was the favorite of my deceased sister. My GOLDEN LADY!
Ths whole album is just on a whole different level than anything he or probably anyone has created. definitely top 10 albums of all time. I wonder what place in life he was in when creating this masterpiece.
+chillhomie7 A artist that makes music like Stevie only sees heaven
Interesting comment, I wonder as well.
+chillhomie7 He had just gotten into a nasty car accident just before going on tour for this album--I think interviews with him said that the experience (a four-day coma) reasserted his belief in destiny. Spiritual and beautiful, like this song!
Nailed it!
chillhomie7 Yes it is
It still sounds fresh after all these years.
All I can do is praise The Creator for this brother in my own life time and he is from my hometown Detroit!
Me too I was born in Henry Ford hospital. I’m 65. Aretha is buried in the same cemetery as my daughter’s great grandfather. On Woodward…..forgot name
No Stevie is from Little Rock Arkansas
I can appreciate everyone's comment, because y'all get it. It's like we're looking into the mind of a genius.
He is like the one and only. There are so many others, I mean I LOVE Luther and Earth Wind and Fire, but ... oh my ... Stevie is absolutely heaven sent.
We are looking into the mind of our beloved genious
Genius? Yeah, I suppose. I mean if being multi-talented and prolific is your idea of genius, then sure, you can call him that. :)
..... brilliant, .....amazing how he allows us to experience his take, and it's just cool ....the phrase "he knows where it's at" applies ......it's in the heart" "Love" that motivates Steve Wonder so obvious
This song!!!!
I was born in ‘81 but I so long for the 70’s. A part of me feel like I was there in a before life.
So many of Stevie's songs are intertwined in my years growing up and alot just intensified the joys of love and relationships with his incredible joy, love and passion in his songs with incomparably appropriate words that cut straight to the heart...and even in those times of heartache and breakup his music got me through-so profound...over 4 decades of listening to one of the greatest musicians of all time-with songs and lyrics with true healing power. Take a real dive into Stevie's music and see if you don't agree. God Bless the Wonder Man.
So well said Sir!!
share your sentiment, man!
David Simon. YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW BEAUTIFUL STEVIE WONDER SONGS ARE TO ME. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND GOD BLESS YOU AN YOURS SMILE
Yes healing powers absolutely true I haven't been able to even listen to music and I kept hearing his name repeat in my mind and am doing a serious study on him. I break away from the stressful news with his universal message about love, and even hear his songs play in my mind healing my acute insomnia. He is my medicine
beautifully said.
This song will free your mind just don't be afraid to open up and let go
That's right
I agree
Beautifully said.
@ thank you
No doubt about it 🙌🏾
I grew up listening to Stevie's music from the 70's. Many years later, I still never get tired of it. Each tune is like a little masterpiece.
timeless
great to make love to as well
@SomethingReal have you heard Phoebe Snow's album "Something Real" from the late 80:s early 90s I really like it it's cool, you might, and Heart's Horizon was also pretty amazing and Amazing
Thank you for your love and support am happy to have a great fan like you
❤Me too
*This song really made me love myself...*
Awesome!
lorettalynn Davis that’s beautiful
Yes! So Beautifully arranged. What a Masterpiece the vocals and musical cords...
What tender, beautiful comments. Such clear confirmation of God's loving presence!
@@paulcoats8259 Nice. I couldn't have said it any better :)
All of my life I have loved this man, His music and Hus morals.
I am a 70's 👶🏿 and I'm grateful to have grown up during this era of 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎵
this song is like finding gold because stevie music is untouchable
ALL TIME CLASSIC! THIS MAN IS A GENIUS!!!!
Stevie is truly a GENIUS !!
@@walteriamdarkerthanbothoft925 facts
This is one of the many Stevie song that. Brings tears to my eyes.
The greatest song ❤️ it taught me about love and being sensitive
One of the best bass players in the world is Stevie Wonders left hand . . .
Who is it?...
"Stevie left hand is better than most bass players" someone once told me. he's not a Bass, but he has a mean left.
Literally Stevie's left hand on the keyboard (this is a bass played on keys)
I'm just trying to imagine his left hand moving all over those keys - f'ing incredible!!!
Stevie Wonder plays piano & Keyboards, not the bass.
JUST ANOTHER ONE OF STEVIE WONDERS GREAT SONGS...😷😁...
I think this is his best album, and that this is the best song on it. That intro, chord progression, the subtle acoustic guitar...there's just nothing like this anywhere else. It sounds like he took a dream and made it into music.
Damn, well said. That's exactly what I was thinking. Lol
YESSSS!!!!
Brilliantly stated! It is like a dream transformed into a musical composition.
200% correct.
I have always thought this is one of the best album's ever made and this song is just outstandingly beautiful.
Beautiful Long Life Stevie
"if you ain't feeling this then dammit it ain't for you ! ! !"
(Quote from Steve Harvey)
They are probably already dead.🙄
No one dare do a remake of this one. There's no way to do it justice.
Innervisions, one of Stevie Wonder's many masterpieces
Just listen to some Stevie and your musical IQ will increase. His use of beautiful, rich chords and melodies is like a master class in harmony. Creepin' is one of my favourites.
Mine too!
Have you heard the live version? It’s absolutely phenomenal
I was living in Italy when this album came out as my mother sent me the album. It brings back many beautiful moments in my life and sweet memories of my deceased wife..❤️
God Bless you brother
I agree, Chillhomie7. I am 60 yrs. old, gray and mildly mobility impaired. I consider having existed when someone like Stevie Wonder gave us his all as one of the best things about my life. People seem to focus more on Songs in the Key of Life but innervisions floored me. Still does to this day.
Will forever be my granny's theme for me. I was listening to this song while going through some photos of her from the 70s. She's Native American and Black so she has this beautiful golden skin. She always wears gold jewelry with her hair big and curly. It always reminded me of her. Forever my Golden Lady. ✨
You Forget A 1000 Things A Day 💙
You Forget A 1000 Things A Day Stevie's most special gift to the world was expressing his celebration of the females in song!
It's about women in general
Can nobody see stevie
Harry Jimerson Sure, and if they never do again, they'll have their "Innervisions"...
The first time I heard this song, it blew my mind. The arrangement is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!
for my grandmother. her nickname was goldie. i miss you golden lady
Aww, Shanelle :)
Beautiful rest in peace goldie 😇
The end of Livin for the City into the beginning of Golden Lady is most beautiful transition ever recorded.
I definitely agre.
1973. I was in sixth grade, elementary school. Can't believe it's been that long this song came out. Classic.
Timeless!
Stevie Wonder's music is timeles, thought provoking and profound.
such a beautiful song with a haunting chorus.
Nobody like Stevie Wonder. .
We love you and all you brought to us. God bless you.
A gifted man
Every time I hear this song I get chills... Innervisions no doubt... he explains the world more beautifully than any person with sight I know. I love this song. I love Stevie.
This is a good mood song..if you are think you day is going to start off bad put this song on and will ease your pain
HE SINGS, HE PLAYS , HE ARRANED , HE COMPOSED AND PRODUCED IT ALL.
THE ONE TRUE GENIUS OF MUSIC STILL ALIVE.
OUR LIVING LEGEND........GOLDEN LADY.....1 OF MY FAVORITES......
My last yr in high school: I remember listening to this "album", looking at the jacket, Stevie played all the instruments, wrote all the songs...mindblowing!
My absolute favorite song from Stevie..And that's saying something...This song just takes me to a different place. Best music ever...:)
Stevie Wonder,, American's treasure for all these years.......:) Thank you God for sending us Stevie....:)

Total genius GODS gift too us through his music very awesome person
A Beautiful song, deeply spiritual.
This song is my song from my sweet heart from over 30 years ago . He told me I was his Goldenlady and always will be. Since 1981.
I love the song I love it the first time I heard it a long time ago
It does not get better than this album. In my top 10 for sure.
One of my fave songs of all time. The perennial falling in love feeling!
Stevie Wonder is simply a genius. To follow up such a violent, wonderful and turbulent song Like Living for the City with a beautiful, melodic song like "Golden Lady" just makes me appreciate him even more.
this PRECEDED that album
I think he plays all instruments on this one.....Brilliant Tune!
look above, under show more for personnel .
I love the vision that Stevie has in the emotional life he put out...it's so central and caring...it's a scary life in these times...to hook up with someone to day... because because people don't trust anymore and don't play fare
"play fare?" --- me, myself and I would probably write "fair," but that's just me, myself and I -- take your pick -- talking.
Yes he does on this track, every instrument. Hell damn near all his music he does. Amazing
Stevie Plays:Piano,Drums,Moog Bass. T.O.N.T.O. Synthesizer & Lead Vocals On Golden Lady 3 more Musicians Played Congas,Hammond Organ & AQcoustic Guitar.
No matter what, this song has been my very essence. I honestly feel it is the most beautiful and incredible little jem ever written. Best song of all time. The dynamic of the song itself is wonderful, as it unfolds like a Sunday morning or a blossoming flower. You almost feel the soft sunlight bathe you in your surroundings, peaking in between the trees, casting remarkable shadows, smelling the countryside air..taking you on a journey of gentle introspection and self-discovery. You suddenly shed all your inner demons and conflicts, life is amazing. :)
It's beautiful. Not far from what i think though
The first time I heard this song I was about 16 or 17 and I just kept playing the song, indeed the whole "Innervisions", over and over. I think I was sort of hypnotized by the melody, lyrics, adolescence, state of affairs in America etc. Powerful song!
You yourself ain't bad with bringing words to life..I.like your perspective and description
What this beautiful human just said🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow, you so nailed it my friend.
My girlfriend Golddy, back in 1976 told me to remember her every time I heard this song. I still love you Genna wherever you are😘😘💞💘🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Was tripping on some mushrooms the other day walking in nature while listening to this song, I have never felt such calmness and happiness at once. And while I can't always be high on mushrooms, I will always be high on Stevie's music
Innervisions is one outstanding recording
What a beautiful song!!!
I was 7 years old when this song came out and I still remember what it made me feel like... this is a song that will FOREVER be embedded in my memories of growing up in the hill district of PITTSBURGH PA. love you Mom love You Dad (R.I.P) and Love you STEVIE for your music that has touched the WORLD!!
Speedy Gee I saw Fences a while back and just finished reading Smoketown. The Hill District played prominent roles in both. I went to college at Duquesne, adjacent to the Hill. Lots of good music came from t Hill.
i remember as a young boy listening to this song and it has the same feel and love now that I'm 64 yrs old, time flew by but his song is plain wonderful
We will never see his brilliance again! My God what a talent.
I love him xx
This song reminds me of my dear friend, Mark Steven Chapman (1953-2009) I will always be your Golden Lady!
No, that was Mark David Chapman....he is still alive, my Mark is not!
Ronda Henderson aww 💙
Ronda Henderson * feel ya!
Beautiful rest in peace mark 😇
THIS SONG, WOKE UP MY SELF-ESTEEM. MOST WOMEN ARE SO BROKEN & THEY NEED ENCOURAGEMENT. I KEPT HEARING STEVIE SANG. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT, IN IT'S ENTIRETY. I SHARED IT WITH A FEW FRIENDS. ZERO, THANK YOU!!!
Stevie Wonder is a top 3 ALL TIME musical genius.
One can even argue that he's #1 when you take into account the songs he's written for OTHERS.
Yup
What I wouldn't do to be this much in love with a woman, to the point she's GOLDEN to me .😔
The intro is the best part IMHO. It sets the whole tone, you have the piano solo, then the mesmerizing bassline. I wish I knew who played bass on this song.
Been a long time since I had the album out, but I believe the whole song was Stevie on synths, drums and vocals. No bass player because no bass.
riobones Then Stevie Wonder does a helluva job putting all these nice layers together.
"Golden Lady" -
Stevie Wonder - lead vocal, piano, drums, Moog bass, T.O.N.T.O. synthesizer
Clarence Bell - Hammond organ
Ralph Hammer - acoustic guitar
Larry "Nastyee" Latimer - congas
*****
W Young The BEST bit is from 5:30 onwards!
There's 178 people who don't like this and probably don't care for Life in general....because THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING! #LongLiveSTEVIE
Landis Burnett Stevie is ALL that.
djclay33 thanks for this post!🙏
Landis Burnett it's a no brainer to share Stevie!
Landis Burnett Stevie is EVERYTHING.
Landis Burnett yes!
A sound and style that never get's old. One of the trail blazers of 70's music! His body of work is thought provoking, and soul reaching.
I still love this Song - just make me smile
leonore lord so great the best..golden lady..
the modulation. ....just beautiful
We lost a lot of legends. Marvin, Luther, Michael, Whitney, Prince. Lord, please keep this one around...
The first album of his series of spiritual albums, all of which started after he almost died in 1972, after making "Where I'm Coming From." Maybe He came back from somewhere and was reborn and then...THIS album, followed by two others. Each of which won the Grammy for Album of The Year. 3 years in a row. It all started here. I remember this from 1973; it was magical.
Hmm … I think your time frame might be a little off. Music Of My Mind followed Where I’m Coming From. Then came Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Songs In The Key Of Life. The last three were each awarded album of the year status at the Grammys, but it was three out of four years, not three in a row. And he almost died in 1973 shortly after Innervisions was released, not before. Unless I’m forgetting something.
One of my favorite songs of all time, by an absolutely incredible singer.
This man is a musical God
Prodigy of many!!!!!
Wow just GEORGIOUS!!
Happy Happy 70th Birthday Stevie! I love you and all your wonderful songs. i wish another 70 years for you!
The soundtrack of my childhood.
Uplifting melody! I thank my oldest sister for playing his music over and over! Stevie so generous with his singing & songwriting gift! A huge influence in music.
Thank you for your love and support am happy to have a great fan like you
i get old ....but not this MUSIC no... never no..
I dedicate this to my Mother. She was truly a Golden Lady
Stevie reads your heart.
+Susan DiGiovanne Yes he sure does
+Susan DiGiovanne Although stevie is blind, he can "see" considerably better than most, if that makes sense.
i know what you mean:)
Beautiful!
🔥Stevie’s keyboard/synthesizer bass is absolutely a mind killer right here peoples🔥
BEAUTIFUL SONG STEVIE
Wonderful and beautiful
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Love this song! Steve is a genius!
STUNNING
I love Stevie ❤️ so he is still relevant for today, safe haven for times like these also appreciate Lionel Richie still The stylistics have my heart 💙💜💜
When yu hear this song merge into Living for t city on innervisions Lp it sounds so great Praise.!!!!!
One of the great Stevie Wonder tunes. Musically he was using fuller chords with 7ths and 9ths and using a sequential movement near the end moving by half steps. Done so well that even for musicians the emotional sensibility trumped the theoretical.
You're right +Benjamin. Also, what REALLY blows me away are the chord progressions in his classic "Don't You Worry About a Thing"...I still can't get over those chord resolutions and the way he is able to cruise right through all those key changes. Masterful.
YOU ARE DEEP.
Benjamin David
You and Gregory betta talk that talk!!!! Love it and him! The G.O.A.T!!!!
A GREAT SONG THEN and STILL SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG NOW👁️Hotep🎩...
Musical genius.
You just can't top Stevie wonder..dec2019.
Stevie's lyrics in this song always blow me away "looking at your hands, hands can understand waiting for the chance..." genius!
Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand
Stevie had game ! Ok ! These young folk need to listen 💯
Omg! I been searching for this song. Didn't know the words, but remembered beat....💝
this is certainly one of his masterpieces. nobody can touch this song. redone, made over NOT, NOT NOT!!!!
