On this day, 20 March 1969, American music legend Stevie Wonder played Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre. The support included The Foundations, The Flirtations and DJ Emperor Rosko.
Stevland Hardaway Morris (born Judkins; born May 13, 1950), is a prominent figure in popular music during the second half of the 20th century, Wonder is one of the most successful songwriters and musicians.
A virtual one-man band, his use of synthesisers and further electronic musical instruments during the 1970s reshaped the conventions of R&B.
Wonder previewed some of the tracks from his soon to be released My Cherie Amour album, which featured a couple of major hits, including the title track and "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday", as well as Wonder's take on the 1967 hit "Light My Fire" by The Doors.
