Stevie Wonder Offers Bounce Bonus at New Orleans Gala (VIDEO)

Stevie Wonder was in town to receive a Legend Award at the 2012 National Urban League Conference on Saturday, July 28, and ended up performing to bounce music by night’s end. At the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Awards Masquerade Gala,at the Morial Convention Center, he performed a few classics on a baby grand to close out the conference, where U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and National Urban League president Marc Morial were in the house. At an after party, Stevie Wonder got on stage and performed “Superstition,” “Do I Do,” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” to an old-school Bounce beat provided by DJ Raj Smoove and 2 Cent was there to catch it on film:
