Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder signed with Motown's Tamla label at age eleven in 1961, beginning his career as "Little Stevie Wonder." He transitioned from child prodigy to mature artist in the 1970s, producing a remarkable run of albums including "Talking Book" (1972), "Innervisions" (1973), and "Songs in the Key of Life" (1976). Wonder's mastery of synthesizers and his socially conscious songwriting established him as one of soul music's most innovative artists during this period.
