Lakeisha visits Stevie Wonder

On our walk in downtown Lansing we saw one of the many "Michigan Stars" on the walk of fame.

These stars show important people who were born or lived in Michigan. This star is for Stevie Wonder.  He is a famous musician from Michigan. 


He has been writing and singing music for a long time. 

Here is just one of the songs he sang on Sesame Street.  This was back in 1972. I guess Sesame Street has been around for a long time!

People have loved his music for a long time and still go to hear him sing and play piano.
More recently he sang at the White House (2010) with another famous musician Paul McCartney.


I really like this very popular song they "Ebony and Ivory."  It's an old song but it is still important as it reminds us that we are all important, no matter what color our skin might be.



You might notice that he wears sunglasses. That is because he is blind. But that hasn't stopped him from making beautiful music and sharing wonderful ideas with the world.
