(1963)"Tribute to Uncle Ray" is the second album released by
Stevie Wonder during his "Little Stevie Wonder" phase in1962 . The album was a tribute to Wonder's mentor, fellow blind musicianRay Charles . The album was traditionally followed by other tribute albums toNat "King" Cole andSam Cooke byMarvin Gaye andThe Supremes respectively. Like his debut, this album failed to generate hit singles as Motown struggled to find a sound to fit Wonder, who was only 12 when this album was released.Track listing
