Stevland Hardaway Morris (né Judkins; born May 13, 1950), known professionally as Stevie Wonder, is an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. A prominent figure in popular music during the second half of the 20th century, Wonder is one of the most successful songwriters and musicians. A virtual one-man band, his use of synthesizers and further electronic musical instruments during the 1970s reshaped the conventions of R&B. He also helped drive the genre into the album era, crafting his LPs as cohesive, consistent socially conscious statements with complex compositions. Wonder is often hailed as a "genius", and has been credited as a pioneer and influence to musicians of various genres including rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk and jazz.
Blind since shortly after his birth, Wonder was a child prodigy known as Little Stevie Wonder, leading him to sign with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11. In 1963, the single "Fingertips" was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when Wonder was 13, making him the youngest artist ever to top the chart. Wonder's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s. His "classic period" began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mind and Talking Book, the latter featuring "Superstition", which is one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. His works Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1976) all won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, making him the tied-record holder for the most Album of the Year wins, with three. He is also the only artist to have won the award with three consecutive album releases.
Jesus Christ what a frickin band!
That 2nd half jam, close your eyes and its Return to Forever. Love the 70s and fusion of Rock, Soul and Jazz. Glad that was the music I grew up with.
Brings real joy
Miss Williams is a beast... hitting them highs effortlessly. This was a moment!
Notes that she would unforgettably use on her debut album, This is Niecey, particularly on "Free."
Greatest Composer of my Generation.
Eyy eyy eyahaah aah I'm so glad to be alive... that did it for me. Stevie's amazing. Always.
Questa è Arte!
Love seeing him groove
I wish I was born earlier and in the right place in the world to have seen this concert.
Stevie is on earth to show us which way to go, mission accomplished Stevie
この音に込められた熱と密度の高さ…最高だ…
One of the finest live performances for television I ever saw , confused me a bit with the title "I'm So Glad To Be Alive" as it's simply a funky version of "Signed Sealed Delivered " , a hit he had several years before....awesome musicianship and Deniece Williams has an angelic voice , she had a Number 1 solo hit in England with " Free " a few years after this
I could watch this whole performance over and over! This incarnation of the Wonderlove band just might be my favorite, and the songs from this period are so full of passion and power. Thanks for posting this chunk of the concert! "Contusion" instrumental starts at 4:40.
They really chew it good - lovely stuff! ☘️
unbelievable groovy talent all round. thanks for posting.
The drummer was really feeling contusion
Deniece Williams is incredible!

the fact that sometime within a 9-month span of this performance he was in a hospital in a coma. Everyone expected him to die.
Why was he in a coma
