TODAY should be a HOLIDAY!! It is the ICONIC Stevie Wonder’s 76th birthday!!!!!

Stevie Wonder has done it all in his six-decade career.

The renowned musician signed with a record label at just 12 years old and went on to become one of the most decorated artists in history, winning 25 Grammy Awards, an Oscar and more. He has also been inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame.

In honor of his 76th birthday on May 13, 2026, let’s revisit a few of his classics!

Stevland Hardaway Judkins was born on May 13, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan. The child prodigy, who lost his vision shortly after being born, learned how to play the piano before the age of 9. By 12 years old, Judkins signed to his first record contract with Berry Gordy’s Motown’s Tamla label, which is around the time he’d impressed label executives so much that he’d earned the nickname Stevie Wonder.
