Stevie Wonder, Original Name Steveland Judkins Or Steveland Morris When His Mother Married, Was Born May 13, 1950, Saginaw, Michigan, U.S Stevie Wonder, original name Steveland Judkins or Steveland Morris when his mother married, was born May 13, 1950, Saginaw, Michigan, U.S. He is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, a child prodigy who developed into one of the most creative musical figures of the late 20th century. He was born six weeks early with retinopathy of prematurity, an eye disorder which was exacerbated when he received too much oxygen in an incubator, leading to blindness (cécité). Wonder showed an early gift for music, first with a church choir (chorale ) in Detroit, Michigan, where he and his family had moved to when he was four years old, and later with a range of instruments, including the harmonica, piano and drums, all of which he taught himself before age 10. Wonder was just 11 years old when he was discovered by Ronnie White of the Motown band The Miracles. An audition followed with Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., who didn't hesitate to sign the young musician to a record deal. In 1962, the newly renamed Little Stevie Wonder, working with Motown songwriter Clarence Paul, among others, released his debut The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie Wonder, an instrumental album that showed off the youngster's remarkable musicianship. As his voice changed, his recording career was temporarily put on hold, and he studied classical piano at the Michigan School for the Blind. He dropped the "Little" portion of his stage name in 1964, and re-emerged the following year with the infectious, typically Motown- sounding dance tune "Uptight (Everything's Alright)," a number one R&B/Top Five pop. The first signs of Wonder's social activism appeared in 1966 via his hit cover of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and its follow-up, "A Place in the Sun," but as Motown still had the final say on Wonder's choice of material, this new direction would not yet become a major facet of his work. His “classic” period started in the ‘70s, with albums such as ‘Music of My Mind, ‘Talking Book,’ ‘Innervisions,’ and others. Stevie started bringing in the awards, winning Album of the Year at the 16th, 17th, and 19th Annual Grammy Awards. Wonder is the only artist to have won this award with three consecutive album releases. His 1970s albums are still regarded as extremely influential to this very day. The Rolling Stone Record Guide said they "pioneered stylistic approaches that helped to determine the shape of pop music for the next decade". He has sold over 100 million records worldwide, placing him amongst the best-selling music artists of all time. He's also won 25 Grammy Awards, granting him the title of most awarded artists of all time. What made Wonder special was his mastery of virtually every idiom of African-American music. He has a way with words and musical arrangements, knowing what works and what doesn't. This, with his profound talent on keyboard instruments are what makes him a genius. Another key factor to his uniqueness is his childhood roots. Wonder grew up in a religious black family and this influenced his musical direction. His black church background has given him a gifted and one of a kind depth and honesty. This is what has ultimately allowed him to project emotionally and connect with millions of people. Personal life His personal life however, has not been as successful or drama-free for that matter. In fact, with his three wives and nine children, Stevie Wonder's life has had an immense amount of pressure. In 1970, Stevie Wonder and famous Motown singer-songwriter Syreeta Wright tied the knot =To get married (to each other). Wright was a very skilled lyricist and worked with her partner on hits like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" and "If You Really Love Me." Stevie also worked on her albums "Syreeta" (1972) and "Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta" (1974). Although the pair frequently collaborated on their music, they split up 18 months later. Their amicable divorce was finalized in 1972. Stevie then went on to marry a fashion designer, Kai Millard, they were married in 2001. The pair's relationship, however, turned sour in 2009. They eventually separated in October the same year. After 11 years of marriage, the couple finalized their divorce in 2012. The former couple decided to remain silent about their separation. No details or reasons for the divorce were shared and the public was left in the dark, without answers. Wonder and MIllard did have two children, Kailand Morris and Mandla Kadjay Carl Stevland Morris, which they are now parenting separately. In 2017, the singer decided to give love a third try. He married Tomeeka Robyn Bracy in a ceremony that featured performances by A-list celebrities like John Legend, Usher and Pharrell Williams. Upon meeting the legendary singer, Bracy used to work as a schoolteacher. The two's paths had crossed in the early 2010s when Wonder was still married to his second wife, Karen Millard-Morris. The pair remained a couple, seeing each other steadily for a lengthy five years before tying the knot. They have two children together, and they are the youngest of Wonder's nine children. WONDER'S WORRYING HEALTH CONDITION In July 2019, Wonder told his fans that he only had three shows left. Crowds at London BTS fest were shocked to hear of his condition. The legendary singer shared that he was in need of a kidney transplant. The star did, however, set them at ease. Wonder went to explain that he had a donor and that he was fine. The majority of his friends have also indicated that he is in good spirits and doing well. The operation took place in September and the star has been taking his time to recover. He has also used his break to spend more time with his family. Attempting to maintain his career, family and good health has been challenging but the star's positive attitude will help him win the battle. A man of many talents, Wonder has changed musical history forever. Despite a turbulent personal life and three marriages, he remains a good father and an even better singer. Advocacy (plaidoyer) Work In addition to his acclaimed artistry, Wonder has routinely tackled social issues through his music and appearances. He successfully spearhead (être à la tête de) a movement to create a national holiday recognizing the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a celebration he sang about in the track "Happy Birthday" from Hotter Than July. ("Happy Birthday" became a major U.K. hit as well, reaching No. 2.) Wonder had dedicated his Oscar win to anti-apartheid activist/future president Nelson Mandela and had performed on the No. 1 charity singles "We Are the World," to raise money for famine relief in Africa, and "That's What Friends Are For," with Warwick, Elton John and Gladys Knight, benefiting the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). Wonder has also been a longtime advocate for improving services for the blind and those with disabilities. In connection with the International Day of Persons With Disabilities, he was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2009. In June 2013, Wonder continued his advocacy work when he announced he would make good on a promise to perform a concert in Marrakech for negotiators from the World Intellectual Property Organization when they agreed on an international treaty providing blind and visually impaired individuals around the world with more access to books. Honors Following a 10-year hiatus (pause, parenthèse), Wonder released the well-received « A Time to Love » in 2005, with guest appearances from India.Arie, Doug E. Fresh, McCartney, Bonnie Raitt and Prince, among others. Wonder also put out the concert DVD Live At Last: A Wonder's Summer Night in 2009. In 2014, Wonder received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. The following year, the singer/songwriter/musician was paid tribute by a pantheon of performers on the telecast Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life—An All-Star Grammy Salute, recognizing his classic 1976 album. Later Music Wonder occasionally surfaced with new music as he progressed through his late 60s, recording the Golden Globe-nominated single "Faith" with Ariana Grande in 2016, as well as the song "Future Sunny Days," specifically written for the 2018 finale of the hit series Scandal.

  • Master's Thesis
    I Know I Am Someone: Michael Jackson, Thriller, and American Identity by Sara Tenenbaum B.A. in American Studies, May 2006, Brandeis University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 15, 2011 Thesis Directed by James A. Miller Professor of English and American Studies © Copyright 2011 by Sara Tenenbaum All rights reserved ii Abstract of Thesis "I Know I Am Someone: Michael Jackson, Thriller, and American Identity" This thesis addresses the cultural phenomenon surrounding Michael Jackson's 1982 album Thriller and uses it as a lens through which to view and analyze the development of a distinct American, primarily youth, identity in 1983 and 1984. It is structured using a three-prong approach that first analyzes the sonic work of the music of Thriller, second explores the characteristics of Michaelmania and the youth identity being constructed within the Michael Jackson pop explosion, and third analyzes the backlash from both the white and African American communities against Jackson in that time to illuminate his subversion and danger to the status quo. I argue that Jackson's act of profound crossover during the Thriller era triggered within the American youth an equally profound act of identity formation that transcended racial stratification in America's past and created a foundational part of our contemporary identity that moves slightly beyond America's troubled racial history. Using both the voices of his fans and his critics to tease out the work his person and his music did in the early 1980's, I advocate we keep Jackson and his work foregrounded in our study of popular culture in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, as his pop explosion fundamentally and permanently effected how Americans understand ourselves and our relations with each other.

I initially considered that being so close to members of the band for years that have spanned from before Pagan Altar was formed to the present day would not make me objective enough in my approach. Having been an ex-drummer with the band, in fact the first, an association that I am extremely proud of, I suppose my natural tendencies and inclinations would lean towards looking at the band through rose coloured glasses. I have therefore tried to observe and analyse the whole situation from a totally detached viewpoint, but human nature being what it is, some of my own opinions and observations have probably crept in and become incorporated within some of the analytical assumptions. I have refrained from mentioning myself in the Bio, this is not due to any pretence at a misguided view of modesty that I might have but because I genuinely feel that any major achievements made by the band were after my departure.

  • BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded As a Soul Music Superstar from Her Early
    BIO INDIA.ARIE Lauded as a soul music superstar from her early twenties, India.Arie has always been at once angelic and mystical while managing to never isolate her audience – she is as at home accompanying a hip hop artist as she is producing truly spine-tingling soul music. India’s message of healing, love, and compassion viewed through the lens of her indelible artistry and spiritual practice has made her a global difference-maker for nearly two decades. It was 2001’s seminal Acoustic Soul (nominated for seven GRAMMYs) and the groundbreaking self-acceptance anthem “Video”, that established her as a bold new transformative force in music. Twenty-two GRAMMY nominations later (with four GRAMMY wins), she endures as one of the most empowering artists in music history (she launched her own lifestyle/music brand SoulBird in 2011), notching multiple award-winning albums and influential, chart-topping singles, meshing soul, folk, pop, R&B and hip hop and redefining the boundaries of the socially conscious singer/songwriter. Recognized as a major influence for a new generation of socially aware artists, India is both ahead of her time and of it - an evocative creative force on a mission to spread healing, peace, love and unconditional self-acceptance through the power of words and music. It’s no secret to India.Arie fans that the word ‘worthy’ has been an empowering expression of self-love for her and her audience over the years. Faithfully repurposed as the title and theme of her brand new 16-track album, including 13 songs and 3 interludes, India’s first full-length offering in five years is set to impact a world finally attuned to the kind of empathic sea-change the humanitarian singer/songwriter has embraced her entire career.
