STEVIE WONDER
Te word genius is over-used, but it is fitting in the case of Stevie Wonder. Born Stevland Hardaway Junkins in 1950, his family moved to the city of Detroit 4 years later: the precise location where Berry Gordy Jr, would launch his Motown label.
Discovered by Ronnie White of the group The Miracles, the young blind boy auditioned for Gordy in 1961. The label chief was instantly keen to sign him up. By 1963, under the new name of Stevie Wonder, the 13 year old had topped the US singles and albums charts.
As he matured, his musical skills expanded. The subject matter of his songs tackled mature issues such as relationships and social causes.
The 1970s saw Wonder's output reach its zenith. He won the Album of The Year Grammy three times: for 'Innervisions', 'Fulfillingness' First Finale' and 'Songs In The Key Of Life'.
Among his most famous songs are: "Superstition", "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life", "Higher Ground", "I Wish", "Sir Duke", "Isn't She Lovely", "I Just Called To Say I Love You" and "Master Blaster (Jammin')".
Wonder still performs to this day. The world keenly awaits new recorded output from this multi-talented musician.
