The Wonderful Story of Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder


Stevland Hardaway Morris (born Stevland Hardaway Judkins; May 13, 1950), known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is considered to be one of the most successful performers of the late 20th century. Wonder signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, and he continued performing and recording for Motown into the 2010s. He has been blind since shortly after birth.
There are some Wonder's famous single "Superstition", "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", and "I Just Called to Say I Love You". He has recorded more than 30 U.S. top ten hits and received 25 Grammy Awards, one of the most-awarded male solo artists, and has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the top 60 best-selling music artists. In 2013, Billboard magazine released a list of the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists to celebrate the US singles chart's 55th anniversary, with Wonder at number six.

Stevie Wonder was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1950, the third of six children of Calvin Judkins and Lula Mae Hardaway, a songwriter. He was born with a condition in which the growth of the eyes is early or too fast and causes the retinas to detach; so he became blind. When Wonder was four, his mother divorced his father and moved to Detroit with her children. She changed her name back to Lula Hardaway and later changed her son's surname to Morris, I assume it's because of relatives. Wonder has kept Morris as his legal surname. At an early age, he began playing music instruments and he made a group which  he and his friend called Stevie and John.

THE RED PANDA

THE RED PANDA The red panda ( Ailurus fulgens ), also called the lesser panda, the red bear-cat, and the red cat-bear, is a mammal native to the eastern   Himalayas and southwestern   China .  It has reddish-brown fur, a long shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs; it is roughly the size of a domestic cat, though with a longer body and somewhat heavier. It is arboreal, feeds mainly on  bamboo , but also eats eggs,  birds , and  insects . It is a  solitary animal , mainly  active from dusk to dawn (nocturnal) , and is largely  sedentary (inactive)  during the day. The red panda has been classified as  Endangered  by the  IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)  because its wild population is estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline due to  habitat loss  and  fragmentation ,  poaching (illegally hunt) , and  inbreeding depression , although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries
