Jody Watley celebrates the incomparable Stevie Wonder on his 75th birthday today May 13. It was a true honor to work with him, twice so far in my career. Stevie being one of my all time favorite artists, writers and producers of all time. I was invited to join him on his 1988 MTV Special Characters. We sang one of my solo debut hits “Some Kind Of Lover” together. Later in the special when he performed one of his classics “Superstition” I joined him for a rousing rendition that included other guests on the special the legendary blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn, Salt -N- Pepa with Spinderella and bassist BrownMark from The Revolution. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Watch video clips on the Official Jody Watley Youtube Channel: Here

In 2022, Stevie phoned me with an invite to perform at his annual House Full of Toys Concert at The Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles. If you’re familiar with the Jody Watley album “Intimacy” you’ll know I covered his composition “Too Shy To Say” – one of my favorite songs.

Happy Birthday to the 8th Wonder of the World – Stevie Wonder. Thank you for being such a positive inspiration and force in music; a brilliant example of artistic growth, longevity and humanitarian actions.
