Just to let some of ya'll know, Jodeci didn't write "Lately", Donell Jones did not originate "Knocks Me Off My Feet", Red Hot Chili Peppers didn't just stumble across "Higher Ground", and Will Smith and Sisqo didn't...well I think you get it. Today marks the 58th birthday of, in my opinion, the second best song writer in my lifetime (sorry its hard to top Prince): Stevie Wonder. Countless hits spanning from decade to decade, songs that made the whole world sing, and a musical influence that spans from genre to genre, country music to hip-hop. With the beautiful imagery he creates in every song, its so hard to imagine that this man was born blind (and ya'll are impressed with R.Kelly because he's illiterate..."Read a B-O-Okaaaaaaay!!!"). Happy Birthday Mr. Stevland Hardaway Judkins, and thank you for blessing us all with your talents and visions.
