He is an inspiration for love and understanding for people everywhere and he has given us the key to a higher star.

Musically, socially and politically, Stevie Wonder is an African people leader of all time." ...Caron Wheeler

Brian McKnight "Send One Your Love"

Musiq "Visions"

"Personally, I think that it's about time there's a tribute album dedicated to Stevie Wonder. No other artist has influenced and affected the lives of, not only singers, songwriters, musicians, or producers etc. but, so many people in life, in general for the last 50 some odd years. Honestly, he's one of life's greatest gifts. And I'm honored to be one of the artists to thank him for just being Stevie!" ...Musiq
