Happy 70th Birthday Stevie Wonder!!

Updated: May 15, 2020

Stevie Wonder is absolutely amazing!! Just a pure musical genius. When I tell you words truly can not describe how much I love his music and him, I mean it. His music has been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl. Growing up, every time I would hear one of his songs whether it was my father playing one of his albums or a song would come on the radio, whatever I was doing at that moment was pretty much put on hold. I wanted to not only listen, but I wanted to be able to enjoy his music without any distractions. I would sit very still until the music ended.


Anyone who knows me know that I am a huge fan Stevie Wonder fan. His voice is so beautiful and incredible. Whenever, I listen to his music, it’s like I am on an awesome journey. It’s so indescribable. The way he arranges and composes music is so out of this world. He makes you dance, laugh, cry, think and even picture yourself with the love of your life where the love is not only beautiful, but so pure. His music definitely takes you imaginative places. My mind would travel to such a special place. “Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand” was an awesome quote from Stevie Wonder that I came across one day. This describes perfectly how his music speaks to me and where it takes me because it is a language that I truly understand. Just feels like your traveling in a time machine.


He is so brilliant and incredibly gifted. Although, I have never met him, I can just tell that his heart is so sweet and his spirit is pure because for Stevie Wonder to be able to create such beautiful music amazes me. It’s is so inspiring. His music is so timeless!! No matter if it is an album such as “Songs In The Key Of Life”, which released back in 1976, I can listen to that beautiful album all the way throug. Not to mention, that it is one of my absolute favorite albums and a true masterpiece. He has so many incredible songs, too many to chose. His music has been heavily sampled and remade. Rapper Coolio sampled his song, “Pastime Paradise”, for his smash 1995 single, “Gangsta’s Paradise” which featured singer L.V., and “The Queen Of Hip Hop Soul” Mary J. Blige also sampled the song for the track, “Time” on her self-titled album “Mary” released in 1999. Singer Tevin Campbell remade one of Stevie Wonder most soulful and beautiful ballads, “Knocks Off My Feet” in 1996 for the soundtrack to “A Thin Line Between Love And Hate”. Singer Donell Jones also released a cover of this song as the second single from his debut album, “My Heart” back in 1996 as well. Jazz Musucian Norman Brown sampled Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed” for his song titled, “Acoustic Time” which is an absolutely beautiful composition. He also sampled another song by the musical icon titled, “Too High” in 1992 for his album, “Just Between Us” which also featured the legend himself. Finally, Grammy Award musician Marcus Miller covered Stevie Wonder’s “Visions” for his album “Tales” which was released back in 1995. That album happens to be one of my favorites. Singer Ginuwine sampled the song for his single, “I’ll Do Anything/ I’m Sorry” released in 1997. That song is very dope. His music is still popular today in 2020 which speaks volume to how incredible he is and his talent.


As a matter of fact, he is multi talented!! He is one the best singers, songwriters, arrangers, composers, musicians and all around excellent performers that I have ever heard in my life. He is just dope. I had the opportunity to see him live in concert back in 2014 on his “Songs In The Key Of Life” tour at “The Palace Of Auburn Hills” while was I still living in Michigan. Let me just say that it was one of the best moments and concerts that I have ever attended. Just to be able to witness such greatness has me an awe even to this day. I was beyond excited to hear this man’s beautiful voice and really enjoy his music. He is definitely a legend and a musical icon. Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder!! Thank you so much for all of the beautiful music and sharing your special gift with the world.
