Welcome to 3D. Our class is named after Stevie Wonder who is a famous American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. He was born on 13th May 1950 as Stevland Hardaway Morris. Blind since shortly after his birth, Stevie was a child prodigy signing for Motown's Tamla record label. He has won 25 Grammy Awards. His song 'Happy Birthday' was part of his campaign to make Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday in America. In 2009, Stevie Wonder was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
We listened to some of the Stevie Wonder songs below.
