 Little Stevie Wonder – Tribute To Uncle Ray (1962 Album Review & Tracklist)

 

 

 

 

 

Tamla records 1962 – TM-232,

 

 notes:

Tribute to Uncle Ray is the second studio album by Little Stevie Wonder, 
released by Motown in October 1962, shortly after The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie.
 Even though it was released second, it had been recorded first, 
when Wonder was 11 years old.
Tribute To Uncle Ray showcases young Stevie Wonder’s early vocal talent 
and harmonica skills, backed by the signature Motown sound. While it 
mainly consists of covers, the album reflects the deep influence Ray Charles
 had on Stevie’s musical development.
Released by Motown’s Tamla label, this project helped introduce Stevie Wonder 
to the world and laid the foundation for his future success.
