ʻO Stevie Wonder ka pseudonym o ka mea mele ʻuhane ʻAmelika kaulana, nona ka inoa maoli ʻo Stevland Hardaway Morris.
ʻO ka mea hoʻokani kaulana he makapō kokoke i ka hānauʻana, akā,ʻaʻole kēia i pale iā ia mai ka liloʻana i hoʻokahi o nā mele kaulana o ke kenekulia XNUMX.
Ua lanakila 'o ia i ka makana Grammy hanohano he 25 mau manawa a ua nui ho'i kona mana i ka ho'omohala 'ana i ke mele i ke kenekulia i hala.
ʻO ka hānau ʻana a me ka wā kamaliʻi o Stevie Wonder
Ua hoʻoholo ʻia ka hopena o ka mea mele ʻApelika-ʻAmelika e kahi hewa lapaʻau. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Stevie Wonder ma Mei 13, 1950. Ua hānau mua ʻia ʻo ia, no laila ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi incubator kūikawā no nā pēpē ʻōpiopio.
Ua loaʻa i ka mea hoʻokani i ka wā e hiki mai ana ka retinopathy, ka mea maʻamau no nā pēpē he nui i hānau ʻia ma mua o 40 pule. He ʻeha kēia o ka membrane o ka maka, ʻo ka mea pinepine ʻia e nā maʻi vascular.
I ke kenekulia i hala, ua ʻike iki nā kauka i kēia, no laila ua hana hewa lākou. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka incubator o Stevie i ka nui o ka oxygen, a he hopena maikaʻi ʻole ia i nā moku palupalu o nā maka. Ua makapo loa ke keiki.
Ua hoʻohana ke keikikāne i ka hapa nui o kona wā kamaliʻi ma ka home. ʻAʻole ʻae kona makuahine iā ia e hele i waho, no ka mea, hopohopo ʻo ia i ka makapō. ʻO ka nalo ʻana o ka ʻike i alakaʻi ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua piʻi ka ʻike ʻē aʻe o ke keiki.
Ua hoʻomaka ka mea mele i ka wā e hiki mai ana e hīmeni i ka papa mele o ka hale pule, a ua aʻo pū i nā mea kani me ke kōkua o kona makuahine. Ua akamai ʻo ia i ka harmonica, ka pahu a me ka piano.
Wahi a Stevie Wonder, ʻo nā manaʻo maʻalahi i loaʻa iā ia i ka wā e hoʻokani ana i nā mea kani like ʻole i hana nui iā ia.
ʻaelike mua a me nā moʻolelo
Ua ʻike mua ʻia ke kālena o ke keiki. I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 9, ua lanakila 'o ia i ka audition, ka mea i ho'oholo i kāna 'oihana e hiki mai ana. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i kahi hālāwai me ka Luna Nui o ka hui mele kaulana ʻo Motown Records.
A laila alakaʻi ʻia ka firm e Berry Gordy, nāna i mahalo i ke kālena o ke keiki. I ka makahiki 10, ua kau inoa ʻo Stevie Wonder i kāna ʻaelike mua.
I ka makahiki 11, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna album mua. I kēlā manawa, loaʻa i ka hōkū e hiki mai ana ka pseudonym "Little Stevie Wonder". I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kekahi o kāna mau album studio, kahi āna i hana ai i nā mele mele mele ma harmonica.
Ua ʻike ʻia ke talena o ke keiki, akā ʻaʻole i lanakila nui nā moʻolelo. Ua hoʻomaka iki ke ala o kahi mea pena kiʻi solo i ka kaulana.
ʻoihana mele a kaulana
ʻO kahi "breakthrough" maoli no ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo ia ʻo Fingertips (Mahele 2), āna i hoʻopaʻa ai i ka makahiki 13. Ua hana ʻo Stevie iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he leo, a hoʻokani pū i kahi mele ma ka harmonica a me ka bongos. Ua noho ka haku mele ma nā palapala ʻAmelika no ka manawa lōʻihi a lawe mai i ka mea kaulana mua i ka mea mele ʻuhane.
I ka makahiki 14, ua hoʻokani ka mea hoʻokani i ka hana mua ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, kahi āna i mele ai. Aia i nā makahiki 60, ua loaʻa iā ia ka kaulana maoli.
Ma hope o kekahi, puka mai nā hits hou a Stevie Wonder. Ma hope iki, ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he haku mele ma ke keʻena hoʻopaʻa hoʻopaʻa leo āna i pūlima ai i kahi ʻaelike.
ʻO ka hoʻāʻo mua e hana i kahi album R&B maoli ʻo Where I'm Coming From. Ma ka manawa like, ua lilo ia i mea ho'āʻo peni no Stevie Wonder, no ka mea, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka pō o kona hapa nui (ma mua o kona hiki ʻana i 21 mau makahiki).
Ua lilo ka mea hoʻokani i ka mea maoli, ʻaʻole i ka inoa wale nō, ka mea hana o kēia album.
Ma mua, loaʻa iā ia kahi hui o nā mea hoʻonohonoho e kōkua iā ia, no laila ʻaʻole i loaʻa i nā moʻolelo ʻē aʻe ka "Stevie Wonder sound". Ma Where I'm Coming From, ʻaʻole i hoʻolālā hou ʻia nā haku mele no ka lehulehu keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, e like me ke ʻano o nā album mua. Hoʻohana lākou i nā mea kani atypical (oboe, flute, etc.).
ʻO kekahi ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe mai nā plastics ʻē aʻe, ʻo nā mele a pau i haku wale ʻia e Stevie Wonder. No ka manawa mua, ua haku piha ʻo ia i nā mele no nā haku mele i hoʻokuʻu ʻia, no laila ua like ia me ke mele "wander".
Ua ʻike ka hoʻokele o ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo he mea pono e hoʻomohala ʻaʻole wale ke talena o kahi mea hoʻokani pila ma ke ʻano he mele. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ua hōʻike maoli ʻo ia iā ia iho i ka hana ʻana i kāna mau mele ponoʻī.
Ma hope koke o ka hiki ʻana o ka makahiki a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi album hou, ua uhaki ka mea pena i ka ʻaelike me Motown. I kēia makahiki, ua loaʻa iā ia kāna $1 miliona mua. A ʻike ka hoʻokele studio e nalowale ana lākou i kahi hōkū maoli.
Ua lōʻihi nā kūkākūkā no ka ʻaelike hou. I loko o ka palapala i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia e Stevie, he hoa piha ʻo ia, e hoʻomalu piha ana i ke kaʻina hana o kāna mau haku ponoʻī.
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻoihana o ka mea hoʻokani mele ʻo ia ka makahiki 70, i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ai ʻo ia i kekahi mau moʻolelo manaʻo. I ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kūʻokoʻa o ka hana, ua hiki i ka mea hoʻokani ke hoʻopaʻa i nā mele nani loa a me nā mele i lawe mai iā ia i ke kaulana honua.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Stevie Wonder
ʻO ka manawa mua i male ai ka mea hoʻokani pila ma mua o ka makahiki o ka nui. I ka makahiki 20, ua mare ʻo ia iā Cyrita Wright, nāna i hana ma ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo. Ua haʻalele koke ka hui, ʻoiai ua mālama ka male i ka pilina aloha.
ʻO Yolanda Simmons ka mea i koho ʻia aʻe, nāna i hānau ʻelua keiki nāna. ʻAʻole naʻe lāua i male. Ma hope mai, ua male ʻo Stevie i ka lua o ka manawa iā Karen Millard. Ua hānau ʻia kēia male ʻelua keiki.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hui ka mea hoʻokani pila me Tomika Robin Bracey, a laila haʻalele i kāna wahine. Ma ke kolu o ka male aupuni, ua hanauia na keiki elua. Ua hānau ʻia ke kaikamahine muli loa i ka makahiki 2014 (ʻo ka mea hoʻokani i kēlā manawa ma mua o 60 mau makahiki). Ke noho nei ka male i ka pilina.
He moʻolelo ʻo Stevie Wonder i ka honua mele. Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani a me ka hoʻopaʻa mele a hiki i kēia lā. Aia kona ʻano ʻokoʻa ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani ma ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻenehana leo paʻakikī.
Aia ka laula o kona leo i loko o ʻehā ʻoka. Eia kekahi, hiki i ka mea mele ke hoʻohana i nā mea kani like ʻole (synthesizers, harmonica, drum kits, etc.).
Hoʻopili ʻia nā chord paʻakikī i kāna mau haku, a ʻaʻole hiki ke wānana i nā loli i ke ʻano. No laila, paʻakikī ke hīmeni ʻana i nā mele a Stevie Wonder, a ʻo ia wale nō ka mea hiki ke hana maikaʻi.
Ua lilo ka mea mele i mea hoʻokani kaulana loa o ko mākou manawa. Me Ray Charles, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mele makapō kaulana loa ma ka honua. I loko o kāna ʻoihana, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia ma luna o 30 mau album.
