Awww! Sweet Songs that Musicians Wrote For Their Kids

‘Isn’t She Lovely’ by Stevie Wonder

“Isn’t She Lovely” is a very sweet song just on its own. Just the sheer number of times the word “lovely” was sung would lead you to think that Stevie Wonder was so happy he couldn’t contain it. And he wrote the hit for his daughter Aisha Morris.

Though the song is well known today, it wasn’t initially released as a single. The track was more than six minutes long, and Wonder didn’t want to shorten the lengthy outro that had the actual sounds of a real baby crying during childbirth. In 1976, though, he gave up. A promotional cut was provided to radio stations, and the rest is history.
