I just had the absolute PLEASURE

of seeing Stevie Wonder live in concert tonight!

What an excellent show and what an honor it was to be in his presence.

The show was so amazing but one thing I'd like to say was he did an amazing and rousing rendition of the star spangled banner with only his harmonica. He ended it by taking a knee... he then went into "Imagine" by John Lennon! There was not a dry eye in the whole venue.

Man, I am so grateful we still have Stevie.

And then recently he did a live TV segment where he knelt. He’s as great, really great, as they come.

It was at the Denver Stadium the night Obama accepted the nomination for President at the 2008 Democratic convention. It was probably one of the few nights that Stevie Wonder gave a stellar performance and was NOT the star of the night.

changing up his repertoire. I kid you not. He and his smoking band played C&W songs for about 15 minutes then they launched into his regular stuff.

Great performer and an even greater musician. This was at the Circle Star Theater in Redwood City , CA.

Here he is in Montreal doing his country shtick.
