Remembering Tammi Terrell. I betcha you didnt that Stevie Wonder wrote 'All I Do' in 1966 when he was sixteen years old. At the time Terrell was a newly signed Motown artist who made Stevie's masterpiece, her very own. The song never chartered. She went on to greater heights as a duet partner with another Motown artist Marvin Gaye. In October 1967, Terrell was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had eight unsuccessful operations before succumbing to the illness on March 16, 1970 at the age of 24.
Wonder later recorded 'All I Do' in 1980. Just goes to show you that a 'classic' lyric stands the test of time and reaffirms the Brilliance of Stevie Wonder and the Motown catalog.
