Stevland Morris (ne Judkins, May 13 1950) is better known as Stevie Wonder is an American artist and singer. He is often recognized as an innovator in a range of genres of music, such as the blues and rhythm, soul jazz, gospel, soul gospel, funk and gospel. The use of synthesizers in the 1970s by Stevie Wonder, and other electronic musical instruments made R&B an all-female show. He was instrumental in bringing these genres into the album age by creating LPs that were both coherent and uniform. Wonder, who was born blind shortly after his birth, signed with Motown's Tamla label when he was 11 years old. In the Tamla label, he was awarded the name of a professional artist, Little Stevie Wonder. Wonder's critical success reached its peak in 1970s. The band's "classic" period started in 1972 with Music of My Mind and Talking Book. The latter included "Superstition" which is the most famous and well-known instance of the Hohner Clavinet keyboard sound. The Grammy Award for Album of the Years was awarded to Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness's First Finale (1974) as well as Songs in the Key of Life (1976). He is tied for third highest number of Album of the YEAR wins. Wonder is the sole artist who has won the award for Album of the Year on three consecutive albums.
