Isn't She Lovely
Stevie Wonder · Other Songs - Stevie Wonder
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love.
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love.
Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love..
Isn't She Lovely
Stevie Wonder's 1973 recording of "Isn't She Lovely" stands as a monumental achievement in soul and R&B, famously serving as the centerpiece of his Oscar-winning film score for "The Jungle Book." The track showcases Wonder's virtuosity on the Hammond B3 organ and his signature melodic sensibility, blending lush harmonies with a driving rhythm section that elevates the song beyond a simple ballad into a cinematic statement. Its enduring legacy is cemented by its use in the 1992 film "The Lion King," where it was reimagined with a choir and orchestral arrangement, introducing it to a new generation while retaining its original emotional power. The song remains a definitive example of Wonder's ability to craft music that resonates deeply with audiences across generations, marking a pivotal moment in his discography and solidifying his status as a master of the genre.
