American singer-songwriter Stevland Hardaway Morris, better known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, was born on May 13, 1950. Musicians from a variety of genres, including jazz, rhythm & blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and funk, have hailed Stevie Wonder as a pioneer and influence. The usage of synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments by Wonder in the 1970s, effectively a one-man band, changed the R&B norms.
He also aided in the evolution of such genres into the album era, crafting his LPs to be cohesive and consistent, as well as socially conscious statements with complex compositions. Wonder, who had been blind since birth, was a child prodigy who signed with Motown’s Tamla label at the age of 11 and was given the professional name Little Stevie Wonder.
At the age of 13, Wonder’s single “Fingertips” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the youngest artist ever to do so. Wonder’s critical success peaked in the 1970s.
His “classic period” began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mind and Talking Book, the latter of which included “Superstition,” one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness’ First Finale (1974), and Songs in the Key of Life (1976) all won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, tying him for the most Album of the Year wins with three.
