Stevie Wonder reveals he is leaving Motown after spending his entire career on the label
Stevie Wonder held a virtual press conference on Tuesday during which he said,"I'm going to do something today I've never done before." He then made three major announcements.
Additionally, Wonder revealed he's releasing two new songs today. All of the proceeds from the first single will benefit Feeding America. “I feel great. My voice feels great,” he said.“I feel like I’m about 40 right now and I just thank everyone for the prayers and the love.”Berry Gordy, now 90, first signed Wonder to a recording contract with Motown's Tamla label in 1961 — Wonder was just 11 years old. Since then, Wonder has earned 74 Grammy nominations and collected 28 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits. He's also become an active voice in political issues, from his 1980 campaign to make Martin Luther King, Jr.
