Description
Another chance to hear a series first broadcast in 1977 in which Stuart Grundy tells the fascinating story of Stevie Wonder. Episode 2: Wondering. Behind the unseeing eyes of Little Stevie Wonder, there is music and rhythm. As he sits and talks, his hands beat jazz rhythm on imaginary bongos. It seems as if he is giving a beat to a tune playing in his mind. Almost every waking hour of the 13-year-old recording sensation concerns his music.
Because Stevie cannot see, the world of sound is much more important to him. “I started loving music almost as early as I can remember anything,” he told us. “The thing I want most to do is to make people happy. If my music makes people happy, then I’m happy.”
Stevie was doing a personal appearance date in a New York theater. And, he was making people happy. He received top billing over many well-known stars. https://www.mixcloud.com/john-grant4/playlists/stevie-wonder/
