Stevie Wonder
November 17, 2007 at Madison Square Garden
A Wonder Autumn Night
Born Steveland Morris in Saginaw, Michigan in 1950, Stevie Wonder enters his fifth decade as one of the most prolific artists in music history, delivering 35 U.S. albums — 28 major studio releases — with album sales totaling more than 72 million units.
The singer/songwriter has scored more than 30 Top Ten Hits, 11 #1 Pop singles, winning 19 Grammys (and a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in '96) and a host of other awards, including, most recently, Billboard's 2004 Century Award.
His contribution to worldwide social and political change is just as impressive, with Wonder championing the effort to make Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday, as well as becoming a driving force behind 1985's USA For Africa campaign.
Though the legendary singer recently appeared at The Dream Concert honoring Dr. King at Radio City Music Hall, A Wonder Autumn Night at Madison Square Garden marks Stevie Wonder's first full-scale headlining concert in New York in 11 years.
