April 16, 2025, placed 4th in the Karen Jones Stevie Wonder Contest
When he was 13 and I was 12, he sang “Clap your hands just a little bit louder,” and I followed his playful commands. We out there in TV land thrilled to the sound of his superb, inimitable harmonica playing on the wildly popular “Ed Sullivan Show.” Stevie had us gyrating and swaying. At the time, I didn’t know “Fingertips” was a Billboard number 1 hit or that Little Stevie had been deemed a child prodigy. I just knew his music made me move; I couldn’t sit!
