yes, it was definitely cool to grow up to this, thanks for appreciating:)
As for Katy Perry, she is iconic, but she's a sex symbol. I don't think madonna ever made it to sesame street in the 80's (although she was much more iconic than katy perry could ever dream of being)
@catolog96 just aint got no talent these days , they all about sex, drugs,fame, and power. and they teaching our kids this behavior....how long Father?
@mactwee, you have a great knowledge of stevie,s music, he is a great artist, very talanted, i saw him play live in manchester in 08, one of the greatest moments in my life, stevie is a hero of mine, i have recorded some covers of a couple of his tracks, he is a great influence on lots of musicians of today

I mean, poor Grover... Stevie is being kind saying that he sings better than him... :) I am pretty sure there is a video with Stevie singing more than this, though, on Sesame Street... hmmm...
@Mactwee Well you gotta understand. They put some of the hottest artists out. Obviously Stevie was one of the hottest artist out around that time. The music industry has changed drastically.
@Mactwee and Katy Perry ain't squat compared to Stevie Wonder. he had real talent, was an inspiration to everyone, he's a legend, and he's still going strong, and very well loved, while Katy is just an untalented bimbo who is generic, sucks at singing, has no inspirational music whatsoever, and will be forgotten in a matter of years, while Stevie's music lives on. Real musicians rule!
@Mactwee Go to hell fool in 10 years Katy Perry will be just as loved you can't even say that cuz she ended up not even having her episode showed and you can never say old music is better just cuz you old and ugly but music from all different times has its greatness and the only song that stevie wonders truly sing great was "My Cherie Amour"
@ilhentai Stevie is a greatly talented, seasoned musician.. And I'm sure many will agree. It's funny how quick you were to assume that of me- I'm 19, and here in this world that really isn't that old, you know. :) And it's alright if I'm ugly on the outside. I'm not here to fight; I just feel (like @90sandealy00srule1) that there's much that's been lost in music between then and now- the true purpose of writing a particular piece of music, its meaning and the emotions it evokes in the listener.
@ilhentai I just have to add this: I'm sorry you think "My Cherie Amour" is his only great song. In "Black Man" he sings about the greatness in every human being, beyond the boundaries of race, social backgrounds and colour. "I'm Free" is a beautiful song on how liberated he feels from all the worries in life. "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Just Called To Say I Love You" are just two of the countless, pure, gorgeous expressions of love he penned for the special women in his life. Love and light. :)
@Mactwee Katy Perry is a pro in her field. Of course she's not in the same league as Stevie, but she's an entertainer and good enough at that. Since I saw her unplugged I realised she's not a bad singer either. And even in the '70s the muppets had guests who've been long forgotten anyway, they weren't all geniuses like Wonder and Ray Charles or Belafonte.
@Mactwee I felt that Katy Perry's song was a great homage to the way Sesame Street used to be. By not airing it, Sesame Workshop betrayed Henson's legacy.
@KarateKidRyan They haven't found a cure for cancer in Australia. Also, not every blind person would want to take the cure because of the way they get to live their life. They find joy and a sense of pride in being blind.
@Strategy5659 yeah they have found a type of plant in Queensland to cure cancer there trying to develop it now go search it up and i think most people would want to see just my opinion
Didn't he just divorce from his first wife Syreeta Wright around that time in 1972? It was really bad because they were long time good friends even before the marriage. She even wrote a couple of his hits, like "Sign, Sealed, Delivered".
