Few musicians have been as profound in touching the lives of multiple generations and cultures in the way that Stevie Wonder has. Signed to Motown at age 11, Wonder has been prolific in penning masterful tunes by way of the piano for more than 50 years, and holds multiple credits for harmonica playing on his own songs, as well as on songs of friends such as John Denver, Sting and Barbra Streisand. His 18th album, Songs in the Key of Life (1976), is widely praised as a masterpiece by critics and musicians ranging from Elton John and Michael Jackson to Coolio and Kanye West.
