His live version was recorded at the Regal Theater in Chicago in June 1962. Marvin Gaye on drums and Stevie playing the harmonica was number 1 ranking Billboard USA on August 21, 1963. Born to be a star, with only 12 years, performed a live album for Motown got one of the first number 1, the youngest person to achieve simultaneously the number 1 singles and albums.
It was Recorded Live: The 12 Year Old Genius and within a delightful song called Fingertips Part II, his first number 1. A live recording made in June 1962 during a Motortown Revue at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois. In this moment a little Stevie Wonder showed his skills to the bongos and harmonica, while interpretation was exploding wild, spontaneous, and rampant pure frenzied pace swing, showing a star that would result in a musical genius of our time.
An unparalleled talent whose star is still alive over the years, strongly radiating light.
