Stevie Wonder

Daft Punk and Pharrell had two of my all time favorite artists onstage at the Grammies: Nile Rogers and Stevie Wonder. Stevie was one of the first Motown artist I became aware of in the 60’s while working my first summer holiday job with Motown playing all day long on British radio. In the early 80’s I went to LA to shoot some artists for Melody Maker with my friend the writer Paolo Hewitt , Both avid soul fans we got to meet Stevie Wonder (see above and below with Berry Gordy), Patrice Rushen, Junior Giscombe and the Johnson Brothers. Stevie is as fresh as ever today, ‘Living for the City’ is one of the all time great songs telling the story of America, racism and poverty.
