One of my favourite English pop songs - Stevie Wonder singing: I just called to say I love you
I have heard this song so many times since I heard it first in the second half of the 1980s, either when I was living in Belgium or when I was living in the USA. I think I never tire of listening to and enjoying this song. Thank you so much Stevie Wonder for the great joy you have given me with this song.
