Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder is one of those artists whose songs are part of everyday life — from radio to movies to family playlists. Blind since infancy, he signed with Motown as a child and grew into a multi‑genre star known for soul, funk, pop and deep songwriting. On this page you'll find quick facts, music highlights, and smart ways to follow his work and legacy.

Quick facts you should know

Born Stevland Hardaway Morris on May 13, 1950, he rose to fame as Little Stevie Wonder during Motown's golden years. He wrote and performed hits like "Superstition," "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Just Called to Say I Love You." That last song won an Academy Award, and his albums — especially Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life — are often on best‑of lists.

Stevie is a multi‑instrumentalist: keyboards, harmonica and more. He earned many Grammys and a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He also used his fame for causes, pushing for civil rights and public awareness on several issues.

Where to listen, watch and read

Want the best listening experience? Start with a few landmark albums: Talking Book, Innervisions, and Songs in the Key of Life. You’ll find them on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal. For a quick sampler, search playlists titled "Stevie Wonder Essentials" or "Motown Classics."

For videos and interviews, use official YouTube channels and trusted outlets. Look for restored live performances and documentary clips rather than fan uploads — they usually have better sound and proper credits. If you prefer physical formats, recent reissues and remasters often include bonus tracks and liner notes that give context to the songs.

Tracking new releases or reissues? Set alerts in your streaming apps or follow official social accounts. Labels often announce remasters, box sets, or anniversary editions there first.

Curious about his influence? Check playlists and modern artists who sample or cover his work. His grooves and chord choices pop up across genres — from hip‑hop loops to pop ballads — and that’s an easy way to see how his style shaped decades of music.

If you want straight news, use reliable music news sites, major newspapers, and festival pages. They’ll list tribute shows, special screenings, or archival releases. For local events, search ticket sites for tribute concerts and museum exhibits that spotlight Motown and Stevie’s era.

Want something practical: build a short listening plan. Day 1: Greatest hits. Day 2: Listen to Talking Book from start to finish. Day 3: Watch a live set and read a short interview or biography piece. That combo gives you the songs, the context, and the performance energy that made him great.
