"A Place in the Sun" is a 1966 soul single by American and Motown musician Stevie Wonder.
Written by Ronald Miller and Bryan Wells, it was one of Wonder's first songs to contain social commentary.
[citation needed] "A Place in the Sun" was his third Top Ten hit since 1963, hitting number 9 on the Billboard pop singles chart and number 3 on the R&B charts.
Before the repeat of the final Chorus, Stevie Wonder does a spoken recitation that goes: "You know when things are bad, and you're feeling sad, I want you to always remember".
Stevie Wonder also recorded a version of the song in Italian titled "Il Sole è di Tutti" (The Sun is for Everyone).
