Did Stevie Wonder see Prince coming?

Being a popular soul artist of the 70's who clearly influenced Prince, do you thing Stevie seen an individual like Prince coming later on in the 70's?

Im sure he did, Motown was in LA at the time and industry talk was eveywhere. Tina Marie was a high school kid and was known at the label before she signed. Prince made his way to LA a couple of times before he was signed. Ray Parker jr. was supposed to produce his first album, Ray Parker was a member of Wonder Love and a session guy for Stevie so im sure Stevie at least heard the name bounced around in casual conversation.
