May 21, 1963: Little Stevie Wonder at The Motortown Revue...





May 21, 1963:  

At The Motortown Revue in Detroit, 12 year old
Little Stevie Wonder recorded a song that would be his first number 1 hit... 

"Fingertips Pt. 2”…



 (NOTE: This was the Apollo Theater version of the Motortown Revue. The original recording was done at the Detroit show)

Exactly 14 years later on May 21, 1977:

Stevie Wonder scored his sixth #1 record on the Billboard Pop chart (#2 in UK) with a song written as a tribute to Jazz legend, Duke Ellington:

 "Sir Duke”…



And, twenty years or so later, with the help of a ‘magic’ mic, Stevie brings that first #1 hit back to life on David Letterman:



Stevie Wonder, You Rock!
