Wonder has chrated 30 top 10 hits, including "Living For The City," "Signed Sealed Delivered," "My Cherie Amour" and "Boogie On Reggae Woman" and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 as well as the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2002.
Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend began singing gospel and playing piano at the age of five. 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." Legend was recently named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009.

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?
