From the Book Of Genius - Stevie Wonder ... The Grammys (22) LOVE this man, fans adore this man!! Wonder's 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life is almost always listed on music critics' rankings of top albums of all time. Now, 38 years later, the music legend will to take the album on tour — performing such classics as "Isn't She Lovely," "Sir Duke," "I Wish" and "Another Star" in a whole new way.
The 64-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee announced the arena tour at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles before performing "Isn't She Lovely."
"I decided to call it the Songs in the Key of Life Performance because it's not going to be exactly, you know, just like the album, meaning the lineup, but it will work perfectly well for how it feels best live," Wonder said onstage.
Songs in the Key of Life has become a favorite for the music elite, including Elton John and George Michael, with the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey also singing its praises.
