Stevie W.
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Blinded from birth
He would give all he’s worth
To rehearse on a keyboard
Sublime.
There were two orbits missed
Other senses all kissed
With resourcefulness
Hitting Big Time.
Think of Cherie Amore,
Superstition, lots more
I just called to
Tell you I love you.
Wrote for other stars too
And duets sang a few.
Handicap, what was that?
Stevie just played through.
