The Funk Brothers made more hits than the Beatles, Stones and Beach Boys combined!! Best American Band. Followed closely by the Wrecking Crew.

Actually from my hearing and fiddling on the piano I hear the piece in D flat so the progression is simply a D flat major chord to its first inversion then to E flat minor chord with a C flat decorating it to an A flat dom 7. In other words good old I I6 ii V7 I
But well handled and having that bassline with the flat 7 - C flat - to create the eight note scale is a wonderful touch.

The song evolves around an 8 note bassline, which is repeated throughout the whole song (although the specific octave of the bass line does change). The key of the piece, like several other of Wonder's hits, is E♭ Minor, although the bridge of the piece is slightly different. The keyboard part consists of two chords during the chorus and verse: E-flat minor 7th (third inversion) and A-flat 7 (first inversion)
Wonder played the keyboards and drums himself.
