The movement culminated in the 1988 Free Nelson Mandela Concert at Wembley Stadium in London, where Sting, Peter Gabriel, Whitney Houston and a host of other stars performed on his behalf. Wonder, energized by the ban, spoke out in interviews and included the song "It's Wrong (Apartheid)" on his next album, In Square Circle. This drew a lot of attention to Mandela and his fight against apartheid in that country later in 1985, a collective of musicians called Artists United Against Apartheid released the song " Sun City," taking a stand against entertainers who performed at the popular resort in South Africa.
When the song won the Academy Award, Wonder said in his speech, "I would like to accept this award in the name of Nelson Mandela." The next day, the South African government banned his music, as Mandela was an enemy of the state, imprisoned since 1962. The song also received three nominations at the 27th Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Instrumental Performance.This is one of the least political songs you'll ever hear, but it gave Wonder a voice to help end apartheid in South Africa. In addition, the song won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The song also became Wonder's only solo UK number-one success, staying at the top for six weeks, in the process also becoming Motown Records' biggest-selling single in the UK, a distinction it still holds as of 2018. It also became his tenth number-one on the R&B chart, and his fourth on the adult contemporary chart it spent three weeks at the top of both charts, and for the same weeks as on the Hot 100. The song was the lead single from the 1984 soundtrack album The Woman in Red, along with two other songs by Wonder, and scored number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks from October 13 to October 27, 1984. It remains Wonder's best-selling single to date, having topped a record 19 charts. "I Just Called to Say I Love You" is a ballad written, produced, and performed by Stevie Wonder.
