Reigning stars of the music world, from Beyonce to Tony Bennett to Pharrell Williams, on Tuesday saluted Stevie Wonder, the singer, songwriter and musician they called a genius and inspiration to their careers. He also won Album of the Year three times in the space of four years, in 1973, 1974 and 1976, the last one for his most famous work “Songs in the Key of Life.” Bennett called him “one of the greatest jazz artists who ever lived” and performed “For Once in My Life”. Wonder’s daughter Aisha joined R&B singer Ne-Yo for “Isn’t She Lovely,” the song he wrote at her birth, and said “I love you, Daddy”.
