Wonder's single "Fingertips" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, at the age of 13, making him the youngest artist ever to top the chart. Wonder's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s. His "classic period" began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mind and Talking Book, the latter featuring "Superstition", which is one of the most distinctive and famous examples of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. His works Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1976) all won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, making him the tied-record holder for the most Album of the Year wins, with three. He is also the only artist to have won the award with three consecutive album releases. Wonder began his "commercial period" in the 1980s; he achieved his biggest hits and highest level of fame, had increased album sales, charity participation, high-profile collaborations (including Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson), political impact, and television appearances. Wonder has continued to remain active in music and political causes.
Wonder is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 100 million records worldwide. He has won 25 Grammy Awards (the most by a solo artist) and one Academy Award (Best Original Song, for the 1984 film The Woman in Red). Wonder has been inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also noted for his work as an activist for political causes, including his 1980 campaign to make Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a federal holiday in the U.S. In 2009, he was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and in 2014, he was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Wonder was born Stevland Hardaway Judkins in Saginaw, Michigan, on May 13, 1950, the third of five children born to Lula Mae Hardaway, and the second of Hardaway's two children with Calvin Judkins. He was born six weeks premature which, along with the oxygen-rich atmosphere in the hospital incubator, resulted in retinopathy of prematurity, a condition in which the growth of the eyes is aborted and causes the retinas to detach, so he became blind.

Meu coração e eu fizemos um
Voto desde o início e um
Voto do meu coração eu nunca quebro
Épocas vêm e
Épocas vão mas eu sei
Através de cada tempo e espaço
Meu amor sempre permanecerá eternamente e continuamente
Do fundo do meu coração, eu te amo
Posso dizer estas palavras para você sem demora
Se você se pergunta quanto tempo eu a amarei
Tente pra sempre porque é o tempo que me sentirei assim
Eu e meu coração temos uma
Promessa das estrelas que elas
Manteriam este amor ardente incessantemente
Pessoas virão simplesmente como
Pessoas que irão mas eu sei
Por mais que se tenha vida em estoque
Através de toda a eternidade você terá meu amor para sempre
Do fundo do meu coração, eu te amo
Posso dizer estas palavras para você sem demora
Se você se pergunta quanto tempo eu a amarei
Tente pra sempre porque é o tempo que me sentirei assim
Sim, para sempre é o quanto meu amor permanecerá
Para sempre é um longo, longo tempo
Mas e daí?
Hey-its-me *
Me and my heart took a
Vow from the start and a
Vow to my heart I never break
Seasons may come and the
Seasons may go but know
Through every time and space
My love will always stay forever and always

Stevie Wonder is such a timeless treasure; Not only a national treaure but a divine one as well. His songs have the ability to uplift the heart and reconcile the spirit. Through his blindness, I believe God gave him senses far beyond our normal 5 senses. Only God can do that. Thank you, Mr. Wonder for years of inspiration and love through your incredible voice and compositions.
Name
yes brother!
