GRAMMY AWARD winning Stevland Hardaway Morris, known
professionally as Stevie Wonder, is an American singer-songwriter , who
is credited as a pioneer and influence by musicians across a range of genres
that includes rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk and jazz.
A virtual one-man band, Wonder's use of synthesizers and other
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.
Blind since shortly after his birth, Wonder was a child prodigy who signed with
Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, where he was given the professional name
Little Stevie Wonder.

Stevie Wonder's first album
recorded live, "The 12 Year Old Genius," topped the Hot 100, R&B singles and
album charts in the US. By 1965 Stevie Wonder became resentful of
Motown's stranglehold over his career. Efforts to renegotiate his career were
constantly stonewalled. Years later Stevie performed a skit about his
career-crisis on the popular American show Saturday Night Live. In the skit
Wonder approached a record company executive with a request for artistic
freedom. The executive replied, "Don't get arty on me. Boy geniuses are a dime a
dozen."
Stevie Wonder had to push really hard to exercise
creative freedom. In 1966, he succeeded in having his say through "Uptight," the
song that came to be identified as Stevie's mainstay. Several successful albums
followed. But it wasn't until "Talking Book" in 1972 that Wonder finally managed
to become independent of what Motown needed and demanded from him.

With other artists, it is fashionable to say that the best is
always ahead of them. In Stevie Wonder's case this is the reality. "Songs
In The Key Of Life" in 1976 and "Hotter Than July" in 1980 are regarded by many
Wonder-struck fans as his two best albums to date. The latter album dedicated to
Martin Luther King, Jr., was accompanied by a campaign by the musician to have
King's birth-date as a national holiday. The American government complied in
1983.
Wonder's success story got bigger and brighter with each passing year. In
1984, Wonder crooned what came to be his most beloved love ballad, "I Just Called
To Say I Love You" contained in the film "The Woman In Red." It topped the UK
chart for six weeks. It was Wonder's first solo no. 1 hit in Britain and one of
the ten largest-selling singles in the UK of all times.
More record breaking success came Wonder's way with the zingy
twist-and-slouch dancers' special "Part Time Lover." It became the first US
single to top the US pop, R&B, adult contemporary and dance-disco charts.
Stevie Wonder has no match. In every decade since the
sixties he has created tracks that have stood the test of time. The sixties had
"Uptight." The seventies spawned the enigmatic "Superstition." The eighties
shall be measured by Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You." The nineties
are processed by Wonder's "Kiss Lonely Goodbye." As the next century approaches,
Stevie Wonder prepares to expand his innervision to include a future
generation.
