We all love Stevie Wonder, his legendary contribution to the Motown sound and his driven,humanitarian and artistic approach to voicing concerns about social ills using his music. He is a visionary artist who has had a tremendous impact upon our culture throughout the years and has spread huge doses of peace, love and great music along the way.
Wonder who played an instrumental role in the struggle to make Martin Luther King Jr. holiday a reality with the help of activist attorney Theresa Cropper has a development deal on track for a documentary that tells the story on the screen. His iconic hit "Happy Birthday to You" which was written and composed to promote the King holiday has become over the decades a standard birthday song celebrating birthdays internationally across various cultures and musical genres.
For more information about the documentary check out Time magazine's article and take a listen to an excerpt from one of my podcast audios with brief mention of the back story below:
