Trivia 2

A myth claims Stevie Wonder used a then-revolutionary drum machine on 'Superstition.' The iconic beat was actually played by Wonder himself on a clavinet and by drummer Steve Gadd.
One of the most persistent myths claims Stevie Wonder faked or exaggerated his blindness to gain sympathy and fame. This is completely false and has been repeatedly debunked by those who know him.
