When Stevie Wonder was born, he required oxygen treatment, as he was born premature. During this treatment, he received too much oxygen, causing premature blindness in his eyes. Nobody knew that because Stevie was blind, he was extremely aware of sounds, and music. He later learned to play the piano at age 7, and then harmonica at 9. His family moved to Detroit, where he joined the church choir, fueling his intrest in gospel and other music styles.
