Stevie Wonder: A gift from the gods
A May 13, 1950, and like a as if he were a messiah of music, there was a being that would enlighten and lead the way of the most popular and universal cultural events, the music. He was born lacking the sense of sight, but it never seemed to be an impediment to their personal and creative development. Decades have been gratifying and generous offerings as songs, which at times have brought to the rhythms and sounds of the moment, and others have been the vanguard that has helped build a solid foundation and strong performance of the music of today and the future.
Saying he was born destined for music is obvious. He was only 9 years old when he could play the harmonica, piano or drums. The music was and felt inside, outside light radiated own, unique and dazzling that could not be ignored.
Uncover hidden from the '60s, when Motown signed him, Stevie has continued to leave marks perennial in the history of music. At just 12 years old was the first artist to put the single and album simultaneously at number one on the charts and won the first number one album for Motown company. He was perfecting his style, drinking from sources diverse as R & B, rock, jazz and funk, creating an own inimitable sound, which was reflected in the 70's. It was the first singer to take over for the first time in history, recording almost every instrument on the album, in control and production tasks, composition and arranging. He was rewarded with a handful of Grammys, being also the first African American to win one in the category of Best Album.
He won an Oscar for the best original song, He is part of the "Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame" and the "Songwriters Hall of Fame", awards including the Billboard Century Award, the Gershwin Prize, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by a life dedicated to music and more recently, Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, received in France. The list is endless, as their creativity and influence has been absorbed naturally by all generations of composers and singers. Considered by prestigious music magazines as one of the best singers of all times, with several of the best albums of the twentieth century and a vital presence fresh and vigorous as we see in their live performances, we can not be more optimistic for the future that comes.
Being a fan of someone makes you see through a prism that distorts the reality, but seeing the legacy of Stevie Wonder and especially listening to their songs, I think Stevie Wonder has made the prism-sound more pure and transparent from the earth, capable make me feel emotions, enjoy whit his music and not feel cheated. Stevie is 60 years old, but his spirit has not changed, he is a musician and especially a generous man, who continues to preach his message of peace, love and support through music and his generous actions as a Messenger of Peace. Soon they will be new works as "The Gospel Inspired By Lula", "Thought The Eyes Of Wonder" or the album of duets with Tony Bennett, the twenty-first century continue to be produced by the creativity of Stevie, but it survives to this day is indelible , and so we see from the playlist, with a sample of his talent in every one of the decades. No doubt, Stevie is a gift from the gods.
