Stevland Haraway Morris (ne Judkins) was born on May 13, 1950. He is known as Stevie Wonder and is considered a pioneering musician and an influence on musicians from many genres including rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, soul, and jazz. The use of synthesizers in the 1970s by Stevie Wonder, and other electronic instruments led to the creation of R&B virtually a one-man-show. Wonder helped bring these genres into the album age by making albums that were both coherent and consistently. Wonder was blind at the time of his birth was signed at Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11. He was then given the title of professional Little Stevie Wonder. Wonder's famed critical success was at its height in the 1970s. The singer's "classic period" began in 1972 with the releases of Music of My Mind and Talking Book, the latter featuring "Superstition", which is among the most distinctive and famous recordings of the sound of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard. The album won the Grammy Award as Album of the year for Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingnessthe First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life ( 1976). This is the record holder of the most Album of the year awards with three. Wonder is the only artist to have received the award with three consecutive albums. Wonder was an "commercial artist" at the time that he began hit his best songs during the 1980s. His popularity grew as a result of an increase in album sales, charitable involvement and notable collaborations.
