"Knocks Me Off My Feet" is tucked inside Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder's 1976 album, and it's practically a one-man band: Wonder wrote it, arranged it and produced it, sang the lead and the backing vocals, and played the drums, piano, Rhodes and bass synthesizer himself.

It's a love song, head over heels, the narrator admitting to his lover that what she gives him leaves him weak and floored. It never got a shot as an A-side; it only turned up four years later, in 1980, on the flip of "I Ain't Gonna Stand for It". And despite what some websites claim, he wrote it in C major, not F.
