Happy Birthday to Steveland "Stevie Wonder" Morris,

Thank you for a legacy of beauty, spirit and conscious lyrics through your exceptional melodies and musical concepts that will sustain generations. Because of your Innervisions, we can mind our Superstitions, and be more aware that Love is in Need of Love Today, we are Spiritual Walkers, and keeping singing our songs in the Key of Life.

Thank you Stevie, for the Music of Your Mind

Forever Your Golden Lady,

India Shawn
