...that Michael Sembello, the same guy responsible for that crappy song "Maniac" from Flashdance, played guitar on FIVE Stevie Wonder albums, including the brilliant Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs in The Key of Life? He even co-wrote a song on Songs, which by the way ought to be on everyone's Desert Island Disc list.
I KNOW.
...that Stevie wrote "Tears of a Clown" for The Miracles and "Tell Me Something Good" for Rufus & Chaka Khan.
...that some of the background vocals on "Pasttime Paradise" were provided by an actual gospel choir AND real Hare Krishnas?
...that Stevie had 3 Album of the Year awards by the time he was 27 and 25 grammys in all by 2007. Holy blind guy, batman.
Well, that's just a few tidbits. Can you tell I'm in a Wonder-ful mood today?
I'll finish with a little thought that goes like this:
If God is Love
And Love is Blind
And Stevie Wonder is Blind
Isn't Stevie Wonder God?
