How did Stevie Wonder "write" music?
I'm a HUGE Stevie Wonder fan, have all his albums. Still, I can't fathom that someone who is unable to see could write over 30+ albums worth of original music. Especially since the music writing process requires so much editing and incorporating many layers of elements.
My guess is that he receives a LOT of assistance from various musicians around him who take his main musical ideas and transcribe them into musical notation, then lead him along when it's time to coordinate all the pieces. I still can't come up with a good explanation for how he's also able to write lyrics accompanying the pieces.
Regardless, his talent is otherworldly.
