It Purple Rained On Stevie’s Prince Tribute, But See How He Pleased Crowd

Posted On : May 1, 2016

Yesterday (April 30th) Stevie Wonder was set to perform at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The problem was that it was one of the worst weather days so far this year in the N.O. and Stevie ended up having to face the audience, who by then had been standing in the midst of severe storm weather in water up to their thighs, to let them know that the show was a no-go. Of course they were disappointed, but understood why it was unsafe for Stevie to stand on stage with all of that equipment and risk getting electrocuted. BUT in classic Stevie form, who always puts his fans first, he decided to give them a treat anyway by blessing them a taste of what he said was gonna be his Prince dedication show…

About I Love Old School Music

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
