Musical Legends

Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. You have probably heard those names once or twice in your life, even if you're not the biggest fan. These people are as famous as McDonalds. They are all-- by far-- some of America's favorites. Now lets say that you've never even heard of them before, here's your chance to get to know Stevie and Michael.


Stevie Wonder. A song-writer, singer, and a player of multiple instruments, he really is Wonder-ful. The thing is, Stevie was born blind. He released his first album when he was only 13 years old. Wonder is now 64, he's healthy and at the moment his girlfriend is expecting. Stevie taught himself how to play the harmonica, piano and drums by the age of ten. He had his own record deal at the age of 11. Stevie is one of the greatest artists of all times. He's had many amazing hits but here is some of his best: "Superstition"

Elvis Presley, also known as "The King of Rock and Roll" was an actor and a singer, but he could also dance. Elvis was born on January 8, 1935, and sadly died on August 16, 1977, he only lived to be 42 years old because of his drug addiction. Presley got his first guitar at the age of ten and found his love of music. That year he won the talent show for his high school. He later produced his first single, "That's All Right" in 1954. After 1955, when he had his first top single "Heartbreak Hotel" he was everywhere, he was on the radio, and the television you could see a screaming girl left and right. Surprisingly he joined the army and came back in 1960. Then, he sold more top hits and made more money. Some of my favorites are: 
"That's All Right"
