Stevie Wonder, born as Stevland Judkins was born in Saginaw, MI in 1951. ... “I vaguely remember light and what my mother looks like, but I could be dreaming,” Stevie has said (Dowling). ... White introduced Stevie to Motown producer Brian Holland, who was so impressed he interrupted Berry Gordy during dinner and urged him to sign the talented young musician” (Bronston). ...
Gordy dubbed the young musician Little Stevie Wonder and released his first single, “I Call It Pretty Music (But the Old People Call It The Blues)” in August of 1962. ... Stevie had already cut a studio version of ‘Fingertips’ for the album ‘ The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie’. The song written by Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby, was in Stevie’s repertoire for the Chicago concert, and producer Paul was leading Wonder offstage when the youngster broke free from his grasp and resumed singing ‘Fingertips’. ... Wonder thus became the first artist to be number one on all three charts simultaneously” (Bronson).
In 1963, Motown Records sent Stevie to the Michigan School for the Blind and throughout the sixties he had a tutor from the school travel with him when he toured.
