His Music
But it goes without saying that Wonder is best known for his incredible music. And if you think that’s an exaggeration, just listen to Elton John. Once upon a time, the English rock legend wrote for Rolling Stone, “Let me put it this way: wherever I go in the world, I always take a copy of Songs in the Key of Life. For me, it’s the best album ever made, and I’m always left in awe after I listen to it.” That’s exceptionally high praise.

It Didn’t Hold Him Back
Wonder, obviously, never let his handicap hold him back. And being blind wasn’t the only hardship he and his family had to deal with. Wonder grew up poor, according to his mother Lula Hardaway’s biography. His father was said to have been an alcoholic who mistreated his mother. However, the musical prodigy’s fortunes would improve over time.
