New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 2015 promises to be the year of Stevie Wonder, the extraordinary singer/songwriter, who has earned 25 Grammy Awards in a remarkable career, including a record-breaking three Album of the Year honors in four years with Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs In the Key of Life (1976). Wonder will be the guest of honor at The Recording Academy's primetime Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life - An All-Star Grammy Salute, an entertainment special which will tape at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE two days after the Grammys on February 10 and air on CBS, Monday, February 16, from 9-11p (ET/PT).
Marking the occasion, Universal
Music Enterprises has re-mastered Stevie Wonder's all-time best selling hits collection, Stevie Wonder: The Definitive Collection. The 21-track album includes all of his greatest hits, from the live 1963 smash, "Fingertips (Part 2)" and "Uptight," through "I Was Made to Love Her," "For Once in My Life," "My
Cherie Amour," "You Are the
Sunshine of My Life," "Superstition," "Living for the City," "Sir Duke," "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and "Part Time Lover."
With a catalog that is one of the richest treasure troves in American music, his songs are still revered and influential today and his longevity as one of the world's most respected and beloved artists is well-earned.
Last year, UMe made 16 of Wonder's albums available for high-resolution audio at iTunes (iTunes.com/steviewonder) and other online retailers to commemorate his Songs in the Key of Life tour in the fall, from 1962's The Jazz-Soul of
Little Stevie through his celebrated 1985 LP, In
Square Circle, and others. Added to the previously available 11 titles, including
Music of My Mind (1972), Talking Book (1972), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1974), that brings the total of Wonder titles available as MFiT releases through UMe to 27 of his 30-album catalog, spanning every era of his groundbreaking career.
