Stevie Wonder hits the road with 'Songs In The Key Of Life'
Last December music legend Stevie Wonder achieved an ambition that he had been wanting to fulfill for a considerable number of years, namely to give a live performance of his entire classic Grammy winning, 1976 released double album, 'Songs In The Key Of Life'. He did this at his 18th annual 'House Full Of Toys' benefit concert at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, presenting to a packed audience all 21 songs from the record, including all 4 songs from the added bonus vinyl 7" single, to great joy and acclaim. Stevie obviously loved the experience, so much so that he has now decided to take his 'Songs In The Key Of Life' show on an 11 date US tour, stretching from New York to Oakland, California. Tickets for the shows went on sale on 22nd September.

We, here in the UK can only hope and pray that Stevie decides to bring this special musical journey to our shores.
Above, I have included an excellent documentary on the actual making of Stevie's classic 'Songs In The Key Of Life'.
