As an
activist, Stevie also spearheaded the realization of “Martin Luther King

fundraiser for hunger in
Africa was a music industry milestone while his involvement to put an
end to apartheid in South Africa is legendary. He is the youngest
recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, and is a Commander of France's
National Order of Arts and Letters.
Stevie was
awarded the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and
performed his commission, “Sketches Of A Life," which placed him in a
very select group of eminent
composers who have received library commissions, including Aaron
Copeland, Leonard Bernstein and Paquito D'Rivera.
Stevie has
received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he is a designated U.N.
