Stevie Wonder biography. Before platinum records, before the Grammy Awards, there was just a blind kid from a broken Detroit home. Despite his blindness, Stevie Wonder had a prodigious musical gift and would turn out to be a hugely influential figure in the music business. His talent and confidence would take him to the top of the charts but it wasn't an easy ride.

In 1961, he was offered an audition in front of the one man who could transform his life overnight - Motown executive Berry Gordy. It was a make-or-break moment that could lift his family out of poverty and give him his musical break. Most adolescents would have been paralyzed with fear. Not young Stevie. He swaggered and took Motown Records by storm, changing American pop music forever.
