Early Life

Stevland Hardaway Judkins was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on May 13, 1950. He is the third of six children of Lula Mae Hardaway and Calvin Judkins. Wonder was born six weeks premature. The oxygen-rich incubator, combined with his preemie status, led to his blindness, which is officially a condition known as retinopathy of prematurity. Stevie's parents divorced when he was four. Stevie and his siblings moved to Detroit with their mom. When he was a kid, he sang in the choir of his local Baptist Church. Stevie showed musical inclinations at a young age and easily picked up the piano, drums, and harmonica. Wonder's blindness gave him a heightened awareness of sound that let him create vibrant and colorful music. His talent was soon spotted by Motown CEOBerry Gordy, and in 1961, he signed with Motown. He was 11.

Career

Because Wonder was just a child, Motown drew up a five-year contract in which royalties would be placed in a trust until Stevie turned 21. He and his mom were paid a weekly stipend of $2.50 to cover their expenses — this is equivalent to about $21 today. When he was 11, he released "Tribute to Uncle Ray," his first album, which was full of covers of songs byRay Charles. The instrumental album called "The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie" was released next. Stevie joined the Motortown Revue near the end of 1962. His 20-minute performance at Chicago's Regal Theater was released as the 1963 album "Recorded Live: The 12-Year-Old Genius." The single "Fingertips" from the album became a big hit.

Wonder scored several hits between 1968 and 1970, such as "I Was Made to Love Her," "For Once in My Life," and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours."  The hit single "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" was his first-ever self-produced song.

Ultimately, Stevie Wonder's financial journey is a testament to their success.
