According to her, he is a “legendary musical genius,” a man who has “inspired generations,” so hey, can anyone say no to him? Jennifer Hudson had not only praised his artistry; it was personal to her as well: to call him a friend was an honor. The post was adorned with an adorable picture of the two, smiling from ear to ear.

The comment section was flooded with birthday wishes for Stevie, replete with all sorts of cake emojis, heart emojis, and positive vibes from every nook and cranny. Lumari took the moment to boast that she had seen Stevie live five times, including at the Grammys; what an epic flex! Then another contender, Clarise Bradley, said she felt blessed to share a birthday with him; now, that’s a pretty neat flex.

But the real show-stoppa? Thomas J. Alexander Jr., who wished Stevie a happy birthday and also stated the beginning of his own musical journey, calling Stevie his “favorite pianist.” An amazing tribute indeed: to motivate people from different generations to get an instrument and start pursuing their dreams.

Then there was Jessie Currie saying something about how amazing the shot was because Common was in it too. Because, let’s be real, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder, and Common together on one frame is almost like the holy trinity of talent.

And someone else chimed in, “Y’all are beautiful! Thanks for your real vibes for all Americans.” Because sometimes, less is more.

If it is still lingering beneath the collar of someone, it’s Hudson’s tribute that reminded the world that he matters to them. From his timeless pieces of music to his omnipresence, he is a living legend; at the age of 75, this incarnation of music is still inspiring.
