Which blind Motown legend recorded the songs "Superstition" and "Isn't She Lovely"?

The story behind the answer

The blind Motown legend who recorded “Superstition” and “Isn’t She Lovely” is Stevie Wonder.

Born Stevland Hardaway Judkins in 1950, Wonder became blind shortly after birth and showed exceptional musical ability as a child. Motown signed him to its Tamla label in 1961, when he was 11, and promoted him as “Little Stevie Wonder.” He became a singer, songwriter, producer, and virtuoso multi-instrumentalist rather than simply a vocalist.

“Superstition” appeared on the 1972 album Talking Book and is especially known for its driving Hohner clavinet riff. It became Wonder’s first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one single in a decade. “Isn’t She Lovely” came from the 1976 double album Songs in the Key of Life and celebrated the birth of his daughter, Aisha.

Ray Charles is another celebrated blind R&B musician, which can make this question confusing. Ronnie Milsap was also blind and known for country-pop, while Al Green was a major soul singer. However, the two songs and their Motown connection identify Wonder specifically.
