Singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder, the awardee of the second Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, premieres "Sketches of a Life," a sprawling, hybrid pop-classical concerto, written between 1976 and 1994. The work was unveiled through a commission for the Library of Congress in the Coolidge Auditorium.

yea man. stevie is the man!

Stevie wrote this? This man has no end to his creativity.

What's the difference between this and what was written hundreds of years ago? He is the modern day genius.

Yes, that he is bro!!!

It's so strange. When he was in London a few years ago he was interviewed on The Jonathan Ross Show. There were moments where I was watching him speak and sing and you just well up. It's quite freaky how he has that affect. My uncle said the same thing to me when we were speaking about it.

He's purely special. Genius. Understatements really.. Thanks for posting

Gotta luv this cat.......but who in the hell is doing his hair?
