Stevie Wonder

Yesterday, I saw Steive Wonder on TV with President Obabmas
His first words in the speech is "Thanks God".
When I saw the 81st Academy award ceremony (Oscar), all of them said: Thank you.
Thus Steive Wonder makes me curious why a blind man so popular in this country,
I check the internet then i found he is a myth, a legend....

WASHINGTON — So now we know: What cemented the relationship between Barack and Michelle Obama in their early days of romance was a shared passion for the music of Stevie Wonder.

“I think it’s fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me,” President Obama said Wednesday night during a White House ceremony honoring Mr. Wonder. “We might not have married. The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship.”

And at the White House ceremony, the first lady explained that she first discovered Mr. Wonder’s music at her grandfather’s house when she was a little girl.

“Songs about life, love, romance, heartache, despair,” she said, adding: “Years later, I discovered what Stevie meant when he sang about love. Barack and I chose the song ‘You and I’ as our wedding song.”
