Stevie Wonder Receives Grammy(R) Award Nomination for ‘All About The Love Again’

Road to Wonder’s Nomination began in February 2009 at 51st Grammy(R) Awards Ceremony.Stevie Wonder continues to write songs that positively affect global social issues with this year’s Grammy nomination for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance of his song “All About The Love Again.” With a total of 22 Awards, Stevie Wonder has been awarded the most Grammy Awards for a Male Artist in history.

Wonder’s “All About The Love Again” was first introduced to Grammy voters during last year’s 51st award ceremony. Wonder went on to perform the song, which was written for President Obama, during a PBS command performance at the White House. “All About The Love Again” marks the second time in Wonder’s storied career where his music has been used for social change such as his “Happy Birthday” ode to Martin Luther King, Jr. in the campaign to adopt a Federal Holiday in his honor. Wonder began writing “All About The Love Again” in the 70′s during his history breaking Grammy run and was moved to complete the song by the Obama campaign message of Change. Grammy insiders recognized Wonder’s broad popular message and placed it in the Pop Male Vocal category this year. Will this become Stevie’s 23rd Grammy?

Wonder’s songwriting genius and legacy continues to provide the world with music that permeates popular culture. The heartfelt simplicity of the message in the music has never departed from his songs. “All About The Love Again” speaks to the power of love to cure the problems of hunger, war, and poverty.
