Golden Lady is a soul song by Stevie Wonder, released in 1973 on the album Innervisions. The track appeared on Innervisions, with an August 3, 1973 release date and a recording date of August 24, 1972, and runs about 4 minutes 49 seconds. It is a love song that contrasts with the album’s social commentary tracks such as Too High and He’s Misstra Know-It-All. The music carries a montuno style influence through its chord progression and syncopated chorus. Wonder plays most of the instruments and co produced with Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, with contributions from Clarence Bell on Hammond organ, Ralph Hammer on guitar and Larry Latimer on congas. It has been covered by José Feliciano in 1974 and Kurt Elling in 2011 among others. Innervisions is widely regarded as a landmark soul album of the 1970s, and Golden Lady remains a standout track from that project.
