Ribbon in the Sky - Stevie Wonder - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Ribbon in the Sky,” the song by American singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder, is a great example of a song that was released in order to promote a greatest hits compilation and turned into a hit itself. Featured on Stevie Wonder’s 1982 collection of Top 40 singles Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium I, “Ribbon in the Sky” hit Number 10 on Billboard’s R&B charts. It also enjoyed a great deal of success across the pond, reaching Number 45 on the UK Official Singles Chart. An easy-going ballad that combines R&B and smooth soul sounds, the song is a largely piano-based song featuring Stevie Wonder’s impassioned vocal performance. The song received a nomination for Best Male R&B vocal performance at the 25th Grammy Awards. It has since been covered by Boyz II Men, Dennis Brown, and others. At the funeral for Whitney Houston in 2012, Stevie Wonder performed a version of the song in the late singer’s honor.
