Do I Do

Stevie Wonder · 1982
Recording

Stevie Wonder recorded Do I Do in 1981 for Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I, working with a large horn section, backing vocalists, Nathan Watts, Dennis Davis, Earl DeRouen, Isaiah Sanders, Rick Zunigar, Benjamin Bridges, and guest trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The track was written, arranged, and produced by Wonder, with Paul Riser credited for string arrangement. Do I Do was one of the new tracks added to Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I and became a major 1982 single. It reached the Billboard Hot 100 top twenty, hit number one on the U.S. dance chart, and reached the top ten in the United Kingdom. The long album version remains one of Wonder's most celebrated early-1980s groove records, noted for its extended arrangement and Dizzy Gillespie trumpet feature. Its club success and continued presence on Wonder compilations helped keep it visible beyond its original singles run.
