I have fond memories of my childhood. There were some great music and television programmes when I was growing up in the 1970’s. One of the highlights of each school summer holiday was the extra children’s programmes on BBC each weekday morning. As well as the very British Why Don’t You, there was more chaotic and exciting American shows such as The Banana Splits and the wonderful Sesame Street.

In 1973 Stevie Wonder made a guest appearance on Sesame Street and the show included a live performance of my favourite Stevie Wonder track, Superstition. Now, this was at a time when I was listening to the likes of Gary Glitter, Slade and Sweet; and suddenly I was confronted with a musician who was appreciated and loved by my older brothers and sisters. But it wasn’t Little Stevie Wonder’s voice, song or keyboard playing that kept a young boy of nine mesmorised, but the cool sound of the wah-wah funky guitar.

The performance was fantastic, and like the street funky wah-wah guitar in Ike & Tina Turner’s classic Nutbush City Limits, has remained as fresh today as it was in 1973 when Stevie Wonder mixed it up with Big Bird, Grover and the letters F-U-N-K and Y!

Stevie Wonder rarely performs live nowadays but with his forthcoming European Tour many people will be remembering songs such as Superstition, You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and He’s Mistra Know It All from his classic 1970’s albums like Inner Visions and Songs In The Key Of Life; as well as his later pop hits I Just Called To Say I Love You and Happy Birthday, the song he released to celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King.

You can buy Stevie Wonder Tickets for all European concerts on the tour.

The UK leg of the forthcoming European Tour will see Stevie Wonder playing two nights in Birmingham and Manchester, and three nights at the O2 Arena in London before heading off to play concerts in Holland, Germany, Italy and France.
