Frasi di Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder, nome d'arte di Stevland Hardaway Morris, nato con il nome di Stevland Hardaway Judkins , è un cantautore, polistrumentista e compositore statunitense.

Leggenda della musica soul, è uno dei più apprezzati cantanti e musicisti della storia della black music e tra i più famosi artisti pop del secondo dopoguerra. Nella sua lunghissima carriera è arrivato a conquistare ben 25 Grammy Award.

Rinnovò in modo profondo il linguaggio della musica nera usando i synth per creare bassi e intrecci contrappuntistici/melodici a mo' di archi o fiati; altro aspetto che gli è riconosciuto è la sovraincisione della sua stessa voce.

Stevie Wonder Frasi e Citazioni

Stevie Wonder: Frasi in inglese

“The sensation of seeing is not one that I have and not one that I worry about.”

As quoted in Stevie Wonder (1978) by Constanze Elsner, and Jet Vol. 53, No. 22 (16 February 1978), p. 60
1970s
Contesto: Sometimes I think I would love to see … just to see the beauty of flowers and trees and birds and the earth and grass. … Being as I've never seen, I don't know what it's like to see. So in a sense I'm complete. Maybe I'd be incomplete if I did see. Maybe I'd see some things that I didn't want to see... the beauty of the earth compared to the destruction of man. You see, it's one thing when you are blind from birth, and you don't know what it's like to see, anyway, so it is just like seeing. The sensation of seeing is not one that I have and not one that I worry about.

Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand,
He's misstra know-it-all.”

Though they do pretend,

Would you like to come with me
To village ghetto land?”
