Down to Earth is a 1966 album by Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder on the Tamla (Motown) label. The album was a departure from Wonder's earlier, teen pop-driven albums. This album and its predecessor, Up-Tight, re-established the sixteen-year-old Wonder, whose voice had recently changed, as a Motown hitmaker.
The LP features the hit single "A Place in the Sun". Another single, "Hey Love", would go on to become a hit for Detroit soul singer Betty Lavette the following year.
