Stevie Wonder has earned countless awards and accolades throughout his prestigious career, but the iconic 64-year-old artist has still managed to stay humble. The “Superstition” singer is being honored by a number of R&B, pop, and rock singers during CBS’ Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life – An All-Star Grammy Salute on Monday night, but Wonder still maintains that he only stands “on the shoulders of those before me who made it possible for me to be here.”

At 9 p.m. on CBS on Monday night, stars such as Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Andrea Bocelli and Janelle Monae will all perform some Wonder’s greatest hits for his All-Star Grammy Salute. The event’s executive producer Ken Ehrlich made sure not to tell even the honoree which artists would be performing or which songs they would be singing, because he “wanted to see if we could still keep some surprises.”

“I don’t know who all’s going to be there. But to those who are going to be there, I thank them so much,” said Wonder. “To those who may not be there, I thank them too. To those we’ve lost along the way, I’m very thankful too.”

Wonder’s surprise was definitely evident during Ne-Yo’s performance of “Isn’t She Lovely,” especially when the R&B singer was joined by Wonder’s daughter Aisha Morris, whose 1975 birth inspired Wonder to write the song.

“These moments are just incredible,” he told The Times, adding that hearing other artists sing his songs “is an emotional moment, always.”

Despite the focus on his past throughout Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life – An All-Star Grammy Salute, Wonder is also hard at work recording new songs.

“I look forward to doing more music, creating more excitement, having more fun, getting deeper and getting sillier. I’m enjoying it; hopefully I’m being an influence and an inspiration to other artists.”
