From 1973, Wonder's presence at the Grammy Awards ceremonies was consistent – he attended most of the ceremonies and also often performed on stage – but in 1976 he did not attend and was not nominated for any awards, as he had not released any new material during the previous year. When Paul Simon accepted the award for Album of the Year at the 18th Grammy Awards (for Still Crazy After All These Years), he jokingly thanked Stevie for not releasing an album that year, [29] as Wonder had won the award at the two preceding ceremonies (for Innervisions and Fulfillingness’ First Finale). [19] When, a year later, Wonder was again nominated in the category for Songs in the Key of Life (which also received six other nominations), the album was seen as the favorite by many critics to take the award. The other nominees were Breezin’ by George Benson, Chicago X by Chicago, Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs, and the other favorite, Peter Frampton’s Frampton Comes Alive!, which was also a huge critical and commercial success.

Its importance has also been recognized by heavy metal musicians, with singer Phil Anselmo describing a live performance of Songs in the Key of Life as "a living, breathing miracle". [42] I'll never forget the day I bought this album. It was (one of) the first album(s) which had an international release date; that is, the day it was released in the States, it was also released in Germany. The release had been announced and postponed several times since '74. As a result, Stevie Wonder emerged as a mega-star, not only on the merits of the album's content but also by the media fuss created around it. On that day, I ditched school and hitchhiked to Cologne. The last driver dropped me on the highway on the city's outskirts and suddenly the police stopped. Some subterfuge saved me and somehow the whole adventure ended with the cops driving me to the record shop.

Now I owned this most prestigious album. I was so proud! The first days, I was delirious. So many songs, all by Stevie! I managed to keep myself focused on the albums greatness for maybe half a year; however, after a while, I found myself in a state of disillusionment, even playing his previous four LPs more often - and those four LPs have always accompanied me till now. Prior to this review, I hadn't played Songs for maybe ten years. Kirby, Terry (February 7, 2005). "Manhattan's Hit Factory ends production after three decades of legendary music making".
