What else can you say about Stevie, other than he is a musical genius. He was signed to Motown at 11 years of age and was writing songs at age 13 for artists like Aretha Franklin. In a Motown documentary it was said he carefully studied every musician in the house band, the Funk Brothers, until he learned how to play nearly every instrument. He is a national treasure. Thanks so much for continuing to delve into Stevie. 👏👏🥰🇨🇦

When l was a young kid growing up in L.A. in the 60s, Two Motown artists that really spoke to me were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gay, both sang about raw emotions and feelings. My favorite song by Stevie was Yester Me Yester You Yesterday, and Marvins was a duet he did called If I Could Build my Whole World Around You. Cherished memories man!

There are so many great Stevie Wonder songs that it's hard to pick a favorite, but this would be toward the top of that list.
