It’s not hard to not recognize Shaq, blind or not. His voice is ten feet off the ground.

All I can think of is Eddie Murphy’s impression of Stevie Wonder on Saturday Night Live.

Stevie met his wife on a blind date. So did I.

Recall when George Bush was “accused” of waving hello to Stevie at a crowded function? LOL!

i want to say its’ around 2000....my wife and i are flying to Los Angeles on a connecting flight through O’Hare in Chicago...Stevie Wonder was on the flight from Chicago to LA...

He’s in the first row of 1st class...two things stood out to me 1) he is a big, broad shouldered dude 2) he was slightly bent over in his seat “staring” at the blank wall in front of him, as though he were watching a movie, head not even moving...

I looked for him after we got off the flight but he was gonzo...

Q: Why can’t Stevie Wonder see his friends?

A: He’s married.

Yes, he covered this song:
I Can See The Sun In Late December
Yet, he apparently never recoreded, I Can See Clearly Now.

Around 1972 I had a boss whose husband was blind (and a lawyer) and he was in the special Michigan School For The Blind in Lansing with Stevie Wonder. Said he did some goofing off but he was a good guy.

One thing I read that he did, that might contribute to rumors, he memorized the floor plans of certain hotels and places like that. If you watched him closely in a situation like that, he would seem to be able to see where he was going, if you didn’t know better.

There was a blind girl who saw the flash from the Trinity test dozens of miles away in 1945, at least she noticed something. Must have been pretty bright.

How does a blind man know a microphone stand right in front of him is falling? He even turns his head to 'look' at it and catch it.

Is Stevie Wonder really blind? (YT video)
