I met and befriended Stevie at age 14 when he was just starting out with Motown and his hit was Fingertips Part1&2. He was a fantastic and considerate person back then and you could see that develop and grow along with his artistry as a man. My prayers are with him and his family as he embarks on one of the most difficult times of his life. Losing loved ones, especially his Mother Eula, was probably the hardest for him but she's his guardian angel looking over him from above. Along with other devoted fans, I can honestly say we love, respect and adore you as a person and your music as an art. Our prayers are with you before, during and after the surgery. May God bless and keep you and yours in his care.
