Stevie Wonder - Let's Get SeriousAlthough a hit for Jermaine Jackson, Stevie does most of the singinging on his version and also produced it. This footage of Stevie includes Wonderlove his girl backing group and I think comes from a time when he did stunning liveshows.
Wonder is an activist for civil rights and endorsed 2008 United States Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, who would later be elected 44th President of the United States, the first African American to do so. Apparently, the respect is more than mutual, as Obama responded to a Rolling Stone interview question that asked him who his musical heroes are by saying: "If I had one, it would have to be Stevie Wonder.
When I was just at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie Wonder had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness' First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life. Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we've ever seen."
