Famous In Michigan: Stevie Wonder
Not many people realize that Stevie Wonder was born in Saginaw Michigan, but indeed he was. In 1950 Stevland Hardaway Judkins was born; he would later change his name to Stevie Wonder and take his chance with the Detroit soul scene at the time. Obviously he would enjoy a great deal of success in the years to come.
Born blind, Stevie signed with Motown records when he was only 12 years of age; he could play the drums, the bongos, the harmonica and more. And while he still plays a variety of instruments to this day, he is mostly known of course for his amazing singing and keyboard skills.
