He passed in 2006. Time has really flown by!

the headsup..

He had a bunch of great hits!

OT- That reminds me... I need to get some mp3s of his songs to add to my "Old School" collection.

There's a good story on it.

although I know it came out that same year Nixon waved bye bye from Marine One.

This song is an angry, acidic attack on US President Richard Nixon, who two weeks after the release of Fufillingness' First Finale resigned over the Watergate scandal and left the White House in disgrace. Shortly after Nixon's resignation, Wonder issued this statement:
"Everybody promises you everything but in the end, nothing comes out of it. I don't vote for anybody until after they have really done something that I know about. I want to see them do something first. The only trouble is that you always hear the president or people say that they are doing all they can. And they feed you with hopes for years and years. I'm sick and tired of listening to all their lies."

He has always kept relevant over his many decades of composing and singing and didn't pull any punches in a song when he wanted to send a message.

For sure
