Stevie Wonder EBONY EYES (w, lyrics)
The song title Ebony Eyes has been used by other artists John Loudermilk, Rick James, Bob Welch, the Everly Brothers) but here, it s an original by Stevie Wonder. I have loved this song since I first heard it from the album, Songs in the Key of Life (1976). Not being a Supremes fan, I never even considered the connection between Wonder and Diana Ross (for whom he shared a deep and lifelong affection). Though I have read that this song could also be a tribute to Florence Flo Ballard, one of the original founder, members of the Supremes in 1964, most people believe it was written about Diana Ross. Seems logical to me considering the lyrics. Diana Ross (who recently turned 70) is a worldrenowned singer, actress, model, fashion designer and concert performer. She is customarily referred to as an icon or diva. After making this video, I have no doubt about it. I rather regret not having paid attention to her promin
