FMM: Feel it!

Stevie Wonder is known for his ballads and love songs. That's a given.

But is upbeat and jazzy songs are equally awesome! He had a song from 70s that was in a greatest hits cassette tape that Dad had. As a kid, I'd always get that cassette tape and play it because of one song. One who's lyrics and refrain were so catchy, and peculiarly, the title of this song only came out once in the lyrics.

That song is entitled "Sir Duke" and is today's Friday Magic Madness song.

It has such an effervescent and happy vibe that - as the song aptly captures - "you can feel it all over."

Which is what I'm feeling now.

FMM: Lovely Day

Today is the Feast Day of St. Therese de Lisieux, or better known to Catholic School kids as St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

We learned about the story of St. Therese during our 1st year High School Christian Living classes. After hearing it from our CL teacher, I learned that she was a lovely young woman with an astounding amount of faith. 

And as we celebrate her Feast Day this Friday, I thought of a Friday Magic Madness song that's as lovely as her.

Enter Stevie Wonder's 1976 iconic hit. A song so beautiful and meaningful, people still sing it today - 45 years after it was first heard on-air.

"Isn't she lovely, made of Love."

Yup, that sounds right for St. Therese de Lisieux.

FMM: Wonders never cease

There are some things that will never grow old.

Just like great songs with beautiful melodies and lovely lyrics.

Just like this classic 80s song from Stevie Wonder:



Songs like these make me look forward to Friday Magic Madness even more.

FMM: You got it!

Back in the 80s, my 2 favorite artists collaborated on a couple of songs. And on today's Friday Magic Madness, I go back to one of them.

The artists: Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick.

The song: the classic from "The Woman in Red."



What made this song so awesome? Definitely, it's the both of you.
