Hi Friends, I could really use your help spreading the word.
I don’t want anyone paying resale prices for my upcoming shows and there are still seats available at the intended price in these cities

Binghamton NY
Syracuse NY
New York City
Huntington NY
Atlantic City NJ

Resellers have been up charging like crazy and I don’t want you to pay more than you should. If you or someone you know wants to come out, grab the official tickets.

I’ll drop the links in the comments so you can go right to the correct place.

Thank you for always showing love and for helping keep this community doing things the right way. 💐

When Stevie Wonder hit his teenage years, Motown nearly let him go.
His voice had changed, the hits had slowed, and some at the label thought the magic was gone.
But one woman refused to believe that.
Her name was Sylvia Moy — Motown’s first female songwriter and producer.
In an industry where women rarely got credit, she became the pen that changed everything.
When Berry Gordy considered dropping Stevie, Sylvia begged for one more chance.
She promised she could write a song that fit his new sound — something youthful, soulful, and unstoppable.
That song was “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)”, co-written by Sylvia Moy, Stevie Wonder, and Hank Cosby.
It became a massive hit in 1965, reviving Stevie’s career and redefining Motown’s future.
Sylvia didn’t just write words — she wrote redemption.
She went on to co-write “My Cherie Amour,” “I Was Made to Love Her,” and more, shaping the very sound of soul music.
Behind every legend is a voice that believed before the world did.
For Stevie, that voice was Sylvia’s.
🎶 Because sometimes history doesn’t just sing — it saves.

Thanks to a powerful $1.5M gift from Shonda Rhimes, the Mississippi Delta barn where Emmett Till was tortured will be preserved as sacred ground. This act of truth-telling honors Emmett's memory and ensures future generations see what hate tried to bury. We must never let them bury the truth again.
