ASCAP Honors SHOF Inductee Stevie Wonder At All-Star Musical Tribute

ASCAP honored Stevie Wonder with the inaugural ASCAP American Troubadour Award during its annual “Songwriter Night” held on Capitol Hill on March 13th. The prestigious award was presented to Mr. Wonder in recognition of his music, activism and leadership, which have been a force for positive change.
With 26 Grammy Awards to his credit, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and scores of chart-topping albums and singles, Stevie Wonder is inarguably one of the great forces in American music. A musical prodigy, he emerged as Little Stevie Wonder, one of the early Motown stars, in 1963. Since then he has contributed many songs which have become embedded in the nation’s musical consciousness, including: “I Was Made to Love Her,” “Uptight,” “My Cherie Amour,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Superstition,” “Living for the City,” “Sir Duke” and the Academy Award-winning “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” among many more.
