’Songs In The Key of Life‘ A Reason To Smile Dan Rather and Team Steady Aug 4 Credit: Getty Images In our research to get to know Kamala Harris better, we came across an interview where the presumptive Democratic nominee was asked to name her favorite album. She said, “Songs In The Key of Life, Stevie Wonder,” without missing a beat. She has very good taste. Wonder’s signature album is our reason to smile. The double album, released in 1976, is one of the all-time greats by almost any measure. It won the Grammy for album of the year. It is Wonder’s bestselling album. The Library of Congress deemed it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” when it was inducted into the National Recording Registry. It is overflowing with so many great songs it was hard to pick just one. We went with “Sir Duke,” a joyful ode to American musical greats including Duke Ellington. Just try listening to this song without smiling. Harris grew up listening to and loving music. She said her mother had every Stevie Wonder album along with Aretha Franklin, among others. She told MSNBC that it’s important to “find the time to dance. Find the time to whistle and sing.” Good advice, Madame Vice President.
