He has earned seven Grammy Awards including Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance and Best New Artist, and his hit singles include "Ordinary People," and "Green Light."

Cool that this is the only date that Wonder and Legend will perform together this summer, but I saw him last year and once is enough. He's great, but I'd only see him in a smaller venue for a second time. Who else is on Summerfest's wish list? Still two more dates open, right?
