I have loved the music of Stevie Wonder ever since I can remember (and I’m 65 now). His words are pure love and honesty. His music is so moving. He well deserves to be a Messenger of Peace, because he is peace personified. I have always thought about writing him a letter, but never got around to it. He sings a song on the Secret Life of Plants called Black Orchid that I absolutely love. Please kiss him for me.
