2009
President Obama honored Stevie Wonder – his musical hero – with America’s highest award for pop music, Library of Congress Gershwin Prize, at a ceremony at the White House. The president said that the Motown legends had been the soundtrack to his youth and he doubted that his wife would have married him if he hadn’t been a fan. Wonder’s song “Sign, Sealed, Delivered” had been the theme song during Obama’s presidential campaign.
