Wonder, 70, had a kidney transplant in December 2019, but said today: “I feel great, my voice feels great. I tell my daughter Aisha, ‘I’m going to be five years younger than you’ … I feel about 40 right now.”

Great news! I always hoped Stevie would get it together and have a late career bloom. I haven’t listened to the songs yet. Are they any good?
YES.
Seems impossible that he’s released music in seven decades, but it only 70.
I was just coming on to comment the same. I was half expecting it to say, “Stevie Wonder, 85″…… I can’t believe he’s still only 70.
“I can’t believe he’s still only 70.”
Afterword t-shirt.
My look for Spring 2021 (should I be spared).
My God, those new songs are GOOD. Standing ovation from me.
I really like “Can’t Put It In The Hands Of Fate”, although I think it’s about a minute too long.
Not so keen on “Where Is Our Love Song”. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
Good to know Stevie’s still around and doing it.
I don’t think Stevie’s new music is aiming for you honky’s.🤔
I don’t think he can see a distinction, and neither should you.
(“Honkies,” btw).
I debated that but thought ‘Honky’s’ looked better in the sentence. It had a bit more of that lousianna about it.
Nope, sorry, you don’t get to decide. This ain’t Nam, there are rules.
White guys thinking they’re on the same page as Stevie Wonder is the ultimate in delusion. This music is not for you old white blokes to decipher. It’s not made for you at all. This ain’t no superstition.
Do white men of the cloth get called hankies?
But Stevie as a Motown artist was very much involved in making black music that was more palatable for a white audience, which he managed in spades. As a consequence he acheived universal appeal.
“He managed in spades.”
Oh. Dear.
Dude worked in Sainsburys Homebase? Who knew!
*wipes forehead in relief*
What a card. I knew there was something about that word in that sentence that didn’t sound quite right.
“What a card”. What suit are you thinkng of, Mr Farquar?
Errr…Ms Bun The Baker
I’m pretty sure Stevie can “See distinction”.
I’m sure Stevie would say his music is for everyone in the universe, regardless of colour.
70 years old and still manning the caves. I will applaud you and commend your service me being what at least 20 years your younger.
