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.

So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl. "This porridge is too cold," she said So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.

After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired.   So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs.   Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.   "This chair is too big!" s...
