Stevie Wonder tribute mix by Funky Diabetic – 1200MIX
Welcome to this special edition of the 1200MIX where we tribute Stevland Hardaway Morris (Judkins) a.k.a. Stevie Wonder. Born in May 13th 1950 Stevie Wonder was born blind. His music career begun early. Already at the age of 12 years of age he was performing on TV and had a no.1 Pop chart with Fingertips (see the performance from 1963 above). Through the years Stevie Wonder has written amazing, timeless, critical and conscious music. Stevie is responsible for many top Pop charts (POP charts! Not only R&B!) and the range of the music he is responsible for is amazing. This show features music by Stevie Wonder and music he has written for other artists. Check out this Spotify link for a list of my top 10 favourite Stevie Wonder tracks (and yes! this is the actual order!) Lots of love to Iris and Diana for their contribution and for their great taste in music.
