Blind Faith
While Wonder claimed that blindness had not hampered his life significantly, one had to wonder how it inspired him, especially when it came to his creative process. This was a question that King put to Wonder during his interview. King wondered how having no visual understanding of people, colors, or everyday experiences like watching television affected his songwriting. Although Wonder could play piano better than most people, he did not know what one looked like, at least not in full color.

Second Sight
To be fair, King had underestimated Wonder’s intelligence and senses. Wonder was so familiar with a piano that he had an almost perfect image of one in his mind. He responded by saying that many of the things that King mentioned he did not know by sight, he virtually knew the forms of, and if his sight had to magically return such objects would be very similar to how he had imagined them. Wonder believed that feeling occurs before seeing.
