Why it's here
The song was written by Wonder as part of an agreement to give guitarist Jeff Beck a song, after learning Beck admired his music, and the two improvised the riff and beat together in the studio. [1] It gave Wonder his first number-one Billboard Hot 100 single since "Fingertips, Pt. 2" in 1963, and earned him two Grammy Awards for Best Rhythm & Blues Song and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male. [2] The clavinet riff, played by Wonder himself on a Hohner Clavinet model C, has been singled out as one of his most memorable uses of the minor pentatonic scale. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

City pickups
City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
