About A Place in the Sun

"A Place in the Sun" is a 1966 soul single by American and Motown musician Stevie Wonder. Written by Ronald Miller and Bryan Wells, it was one of Wonder's first songs to contain social commentary. "A Place in the Sun" was his third Top Ten hit since 1963, hitting number 9 on the Billboard pop singles chart and number 3 on the R&B charts. Billboard described the song as a "folk-oriented release" to which Wonder gives an "exciting treatment." The Originals and The Andantes sang background vocals on the recording. Before the repeat of the final Chorus, Stevie Wonder does a spoken recitation that goes: "You know when times are bad, and you're feeling sad, I want you to always remember". Stevie Wonder also recorded a version of the song in Italian titled "Il Sole è di Tutti".
