With a Song in My Heart (Stevie Wonder album)

1963 studio album by Stevie Wonder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With a Song in My Heart is the third studio album by Stevie Wonder, released on December 28, 1963, on the Tamla (Motown) label. The album was his first to drop the "Little" prefix from his stage name, as the 13-year-old singer followed the example of his labelmate Marvin Gaye by covering a selection of pop standards. Like Gaye and other Motown acts, label president Berry Gordy intended to establish his artists on a crossover basis. The album did not immediately bring success for Wonder on the adult contemporary market. Veteran jazz musician Ernie Wilkins arranged and conducted the album.
