There's a guy in that video that's not Stevie Wonder that had a song reach number one on the Billboard charts for three weeks.

Name the guy and the song and I'll send you a copy of the bonus EP that came in Songs In The Key of Life.

Lenny Kravitz.

One of the YouTubers gave it away in the comments, but I never would have guessed anyway.

I know who it is, but only because I Googled it. I don't have a vinyl player, so I can't accept the gift.

You'd never guess who it was...this is a good trivia challenge.

Sorry, it's Ron Jeremy, the trumpet player. "Blow The Hedgehog" reached number one for three weeks in 1989.

So the contest still stands, even if the youtube comments that I never read blew it.

I honestly said to myself, "That's the fucking Hedgehog!"

I used to have something dumb posted here. Anyhow, Hint: The hit was a movie theme.

Voice: Cash but Stevie is certainly no fucking slouch

Musician: not even remotely close

Songs: Stevie wrote some not good at all shit but at least he tried. Cash had some high highs but with the covers, and hymns, and other such things he played pretty close to the vest.

Performer: I haven't seen either in person but from the footage i've seen over the years i'll say it's a tie. Cash stomping out light bulbs is badass but Stevie played the shit out of everything plus for a blind dude he always dressed way better than i do.

Legacy (if it matters): Cash by a hair but nobody that name checks him really seems to take anything from him other than playing an electric version of one of his songs now and then. Stevie's music is way too idiosyncratic, too much to even rip off really.

Stevie.

Dresses better than you do? Dude you wear like THREE SHIRTS.

Ok, back to my cave.
