Born May 13, 1950, today is STEVIE WONDER's 56th birthday.
Stevie's career took off when he had his first #1 hit in 1963, with "Fingertips (Part 2)", so he was already a seasoned pro at the age of 21 when he released his "Music of My Mind" LP in March 1972. That summer he would be the opening act on THE ROLLING STONES American tour. Highlights of the tour included the times that the shows would end with The Stones and Stevie performing together, doing a "1965 medley" of Stevie's "Uptight" and The Stones' "Satisfaction".
Here's a nice recording of the medley, split into two separate files:
UPTIGHT - LIVE 1972
SATISFACTION - LIVE 1972
