Stevie Wonder cut "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" for Motown's Tamla label in 1965, and it marks a turning point: it was the first of his hits that he helped write himself, sharing the credit with Henry Cosby and Sylvia Moy. It's soul with the throttle wide open, and it remains one of the best-loved singles of his early years.
It climbed to number three on Billboard's pop chart early in 1966 while spending five weeks at number one on the R&B side, and Billboard later placed it 59th among America's biggest hits of 1966. Motown hurried out an album, Up-Tight, to cash in, and the single brought Wonder his first two Grammy nominations, both in R&B, one for the song and one for his performance.
