Stevie Wonder by BarkerC

"Little Stevie Wonder" had his first hit in 1963 with this track, the first live track to hit #1 on the Billboard charts since 1952.

Wonder's first hit that he co-wrote is this 1965 track, built on a rhythm he based on the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" while touring with them, features lyrics which depict a poor young man's appreciation for a rich girl's seeing beyond his poverty to his true worth

When he began to work in Motown's songwriting department, Wonder brought the instrumental layer of this song to the Motown Christmas Party, where Smokey Robinson noted the circus motif and began adding lyrics centered around a comparison to the opera Pagliacci. It would only become a hit in 1970 for the Miracles based on Motown Britain's run for the song.

1972's Talking Book features this lead single making perhaps the most famous use of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. Wonder featured it on an extended version during a 1973 appearance on Sesame Street

"Higher Ground" from 1973's Innversions was covered by this LA band on their 1989 album Mother's Milk, including a spoken-word tribute to Wonder in the bridge.

The album version of this 1976 track features an outro of Wonder playing with his newborn daughter Aisha. It would later be performed by Wonder at Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, with modified lyrics for her majesty.

In 1977's "Sir Duke", Wonder pays tribute to some of music's pioneers, including the titular Mr. Ellington. Name any two of the other four jazz/blues legends Wonder mentions by name or nickname in the lyrics.

In 1981, Wonder used his song "Happy Birthday" as the centerpiece of a national campaign to push for the creation of what national holiday, which finally succeeded in 1983.

Wonder was the first Motown artist (and second African-American) to win a Best Original Song Oscar, when he won for this track from 1984's ~The Lady In Red~.

A staple of Metro Detroit weddings and school dances is a Detroit version of this disco dance, popularized by Van McCoy with a different song, using "My Eyes Don't Cry" from Wonder's 1987's Characters album.

There is a small, but fervent lobby of people who believe that Wonder is not, in fact, blind. One of the most vocal believers in this theory is this ESPN Radio personality, host of The Right Time and soon to be taking over the national 4:00-7:00 Eastern slot.

Used extensively by Barack Obama during 2008 campaign events, this 1970 postal themed track by Wonder was also David Axelrod's personal ringtone for calls directly from Obama.
