Stevie Wonder

At just 11 years old, Wonder was discovered by Ronnie White of the Motown group The Miracles. This led to an audition with Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., who quickly recognized his talent and signed him to a record deal. In 1962, now known as Little Stevie Wonder, he collaborated with Motown songwriter Clarence Paul and others to release his debut album, The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie Wonder. This instrumental album highlighted his extraordinary musical abilities.

Stevie Wonder became a major musical force in the 1960s with chart-topping hits like Fingertips, Pt. 2, I Was Made to Love Her, and My Cherie Amour. Throughout the following decade, he dominated both the pop and R&B charts with numerous No. 1 hits, including Superstition, You Are the Sunshine of My Life, and Higher Ground. His success continued into the 1980s with popular songs like I Just Called to Say I Love You and Part-Time Lover.
