Stevie Wonder turns 70 today, so we ended last night’s Twitter Chat about the role of music in the pandemic by asking this question:
What Stevie Wonder song gives us the best hope for the future?
Here are the responses from our panelists: Carole McNall, Patrick Hosken, Stephen Wilt and Richard Lee (tweeting as @Jandoli_Inst).
Not necessarily one song, but the fact that he’s been making fine music for so long. #JandoliChat

A6: Tempted to go with the three-minute ending coda of “Isn’t She Lovely,” which is one of the most joyous pieces of pop music ever. But I gotta say “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” for its built-in message of hope. Happy birthday, Stevie! #JandoliChat https://t.co/5lPdtwAFkq

A6: After a long look at his catalog, I see his 1968 release, For Once in my Life, as a good testament for the future. As we continue, we can start controlling what we do and take charge of where we want the world to go! Happy Birthday to a legend! #Jandolichat https://t.co/Gw6Qt06Frg
