God forbid if something happen to Stevie Wonder while I'm above ground, I will not be right for the rest of MY life ! People like Maurice White/Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson/The Jacksons, Aretha, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Diana Ross , Rick James, Teena Marie, El DeBarge, Prince & Stevie Wonder & so many others might not be THE latest, but they are THE greatest !
