Singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Stevie Wonder today announces “The Stevie Wonder Song Party: A Celebration of Life, Love & Music,” a limited engagement at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, Nov. 2-3 at 8 p.m.
Stevie Wonder is one of the most celebrated and prominent figures in popular music who, at age 12, was the youngest recording artist to have achieved a No. 1 single with “Fingertips, Part 2”. To date, he has amassed 49 Top Forty singles, 32 No. 1 singles and worldwide sales of over 100 million units. Wonder has won 25 Grammy Awards, the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award.
As an activist, Wonder also spearheaded the realization of “Martin Luther King Day” as a national holiday. His participation in the “We Are The World” fundraiser for hunger in Africa was a music industry milestone while his involvement to put an end to apartheid in South Africa is legendary. He is the youngest recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, and is a Commander of France’s National Order of Arts and Letters.
Wonder was awarded the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and performed his commission, “Sketches Of A Life,” which placed him in a very select group of eminent composers who have received library commissions, including Aaron Copeland, Leonard Bernstein and Paquito D’Rivera. He has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and is a designated U.N. Messenger of Peace.
