Wonder has been seen playing all sorts of instruments in live acts to accompany his golden voice. But this artist could play almost any instrument to have been made.

Wonder’s charitable efforts have not gone unnoticed, however, and the United Nations named Wonder a “Messenger of Peace” in 2009. Then, in 2014, former President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal
