Then there’s the fact that Wonder can play just about any instrument you can think of. He could dazzle his family on the piano, harmonica, and drums before he was ten years old. He also learned to play the synthesizer, bass guitar, clavinet, and bongos as he grew older.

There’s also Wonder’s activism. Have you ever considered how Martin Luther King Jr. Day came to be? On the other hand, the musician was instrumental in launching the campaign for a national holiday to honor the civil rights icon. And he’s gotten something in return for his efforts. Wonder was named a Messenger of Peace by the United Nations in 2009, and Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014.
