Wonder Innervisions
Stevie Wonder Prepares for Summer Tour
Over the years, the name Stevie Wonder has become synonymous with musical greatness. Since beginning his musical career in 1961, The 57 year old R&B, soul and pop Motown musician, has truly grown into a living legend. To date, Wonder has received twenty-five Grammy Awards, had more than thirty top ten hits and has had four of his albums make it to Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In addition, in 1989, Wonder was awarded with the ultimate honor, as he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Stevie Wonder was born in 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. Born prematurely, Wonder was put into an incubator as a baby and after an over-exposure to oxygen, became permanently blind. However, Wonder’s blindness did not prevent him from living life to the fullest and instead, soon became his trademark, rather than his disability.
By the tender age of thirteen, Wonder already had his first major hit: Motown Records’ Fingertips part two. The song was a breakthrough for the young musician and its success contributed to what would soon become one of the most significant, successful and influential careers in pop music history. Wonder followed Fingertips part two with a slew of other hits in the 1960’s, including Uptight (Everything’s Alright), With a Child’s Heart and Blowin’ in the Wind.
The 70’s and 80’s were the years when Wonder’s music took him from superstar to legend. This important time period saw Wonder releasing his biggest albums, which included Music of My Mind, Innervisions, Songs in the Key of Life, Hotter than July and Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium. The albums and others which followed, were instant classics and provided a compendium of hit singles. These included Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours, Superstition, You are the Sunshine of My Life, I Wish, Sir Duke, Happy Birthday, Ebony and Ivory, Ribbon In the Sky, I just Called to Say I love You and Part-Time Lover.
After being recognized as one of the most important artists and icons of our time, Wonder continues to tour the world and make new music. Recently, Wonder announced plans for a brief summer tour, with dates in June and July. The tour is scheduled to see Wonder performing in New York, Wisconsin, Illinois and British Columbia.
