Today our great city welcomes Stevie Wonder, one of the world’s most gifted singer-songwriters, to the Wells Fargo Center for his ‘Songs in the Key of Life’ tour. The concert, which is taking place tonight, will showcase songs from the landmark album – songs like “Isn’t She Lovely”, “Sir Duke”, and many more. The album, released by Motown Records in September 1976, is among the greatest albums of all time. It is ranked #56 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums
