Golden Lady is a song by Stevie Wonder, released on August 3, 1973, as part of his album Innervisions. The song, which runs for 4 minutes and 49 seconds, was written and produced by Wonder himself. Although it was never released as a single, Golden Lady is a soulful love song that contrasts with the more socially conscious tracks on the album.
The song features a montuno-influenced style, evident in its chord progression and syncopated rhythms in the chorus. Stevie Wonder's musical prowess is on full display as he performs lead vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes, drums, Moog bass, and T.O.N.T.O. synthesizer. Additional musicians on the track include Larry "Nastyee" Latimer on congas, Clarence Bell on Hammond organ, and Ralph Hammer on acoustic guitar.
