WASHINGTON (AP) - Stevie Wonder is one of the musicians who paid tribute to Barack Obama on the campaign trail and at the Inaugural Concert the Sunday before Obama was sworn in.
Now, the White House is planning a concert to honor Wonder.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama will present Wonder a Library of Congress award on February 25th. The concert will be broadcast the following day on PBS.
Besides doing the Inaugural concert, Wonder performed at the Democratic National Convention in Denver the night Obama accepted the nomination. Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” was used as a theme song during the campaign, as was his song “Higher Ground.“
