I used to go to her house “to play” while my mum cut her mum’s hair when I was a very young boy. She was a bit mean.
Such amazing songs this man wrote and played. And his only number 1? “I just called to say I love you” The cheesiest of cheesiest songs ...... oh well, hopefully he made lots of money from it. Had the pleasure of seeing him live in 87 I think it was. Memorable concert. Thank you, Mr Wonder. Your music is some of the best!
