I don't know what's "best", but I like Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? by Chicago

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Best? Certainly not, but I've always dug The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping"

this was my first introduction to Stevie Wonder, and it remains in my All Time Top Ten songlist ever since the 70s



I also looped the 4 opening bars several times and made it my main iPhone ringtone smile

Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Not sure if I'd call "Sir Duke" a pop song myself.

Yeah, sure. It's "popular music" and it's certainly catchy. I'd just associate more with the jazz end of Stevie's output (the same as "Contusion").

I actually prefer the arrangement of "I Wish" to "Sir Duke" myself.
