For Once in My Life is the ninth (tenth overall) studio album by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder on Motown Records, released in November 1968. Then eighteen years old, Wonder had established himself as one of Motown’s consistent hit-makers. This album continued Wonder’s growth as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. It featured songs like the title track, “Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day” and the modest hits “I Don’t Know Why” and “You Met Your Match”. It also marked the debut of the Hohner Clavinet on a Stevie Wonder album, which would become a mainstay on albums to come.Rather than rushing out an album in the spring of 1968, when “Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day” (Number 9 Pop, Number One R&B) hit, Motown waited, through the modest summer success of “You Met Your Match” (Number 35 Pop, Number Two R&B), until “For Once in My Life” (Number Two Pop and R&B) became Wonder’s next mammoth single, to release an album. As a result, this album contained all three hits, making it one of Wonder’s more consistent albums of the ’60s, even with filler like “Sunny” and “God Bless the Child.” The real find, however, is the driving “I Don’t Know Why,” which, when placed on the B-side of Wonder’s next single, “My Cherie Amour,” became a hit on its own, going to Number 39 (Pop) and Number 16 (R&B). –AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann
