Stevie Wonder closed BST Hyde Park 2025 with “Sir Duke”, “Isn’t She Lovely” and a duet with Corinne Bailey Rae.
The winner of 25 Grammy Awards, Stevie Wonder closed BST Hyde Park on Saturday 12 July 2025. The concert was one of his Love, Light & Song UK 2025 performances.
Wonder was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1950 and has been blind since shortly after birth. He signed with Motown’s Tamla label at 11 under the name Little Stevie Wonder.
His single “Fingertips” topped the Billboard Hot 100 when he was 13. In the 1970s, Innervisions and Fulfillingness’ First Finale made him the first Black musician to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 1980 he campaigned to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a federal holiday in the United States.
He played under blue skies. The first half included “Master Blaster (Jammin’)”, “Higher Ground” and “You Are the Sunshine of My Life”.
Corinne Bailey Rae then joined him for a duet. “Sir Duke”, “Isn’t She Lovely” and “I Just Called to Say I Love You” followed.
