I thought Stevie Wonder was Ray Charles’ chauffeur for a while. Okay, so they didn’t get out of the garage… ---

You people make fun, but have you ever seen Stevie Wonder’s wife? Neither has he. d&r ---

Odd story that involves the two men: I met Stevie Wonder at a DoperFest once, actually. It didn’t turn out well at all, and I really don’t know why. He had a couple of drinks and started bragging a litte. This was when the movie RAY was still in theaters, and heactually said “I’ve sold several times as many albums as Ray ever did and I co-wrote half of his songs!” Then when several Dopers said in unison “Cite, Stevie? Yo Stevie, where’s your Cite? Yeah, unless you can prove what you say by Cite then we’re gonna ignore you.” For some reason Stevie got really pissed and left, mumbling something about “bigoted anti PWDA mothers” and “I don’t need any f&cking cite to know _Showgirls_ sucked.” The miniquiche were good though. ---

You may find some relief if you accept that it could be a mule or a donkey just as easily. And now, back to our story… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-ray-charles-ever-meet-stevie-wonder/343817.md?page=1)
