What happened to Stevie Wonder? The second-coolest blind piano-playing soul singer in rock history, he was also one of the smartest, most talented and engaging songwriters this side of John Lennon, and he wasn’t, and still isn’t, self-absorbed and egotistical. (And unlike the first-coolest blind piano-playing vocalist, Ray Charles, Stevie never shilled for the state lottery.) After being a Motown prodigy and, among other things, co-writing “Tears of a Clown” with Smokey Robinson, Little Stevie Wonder came into his own.
