Wonderful World: Music Stars Influenced By Stevie Wonder

Sampling a Stevie classic is almost too easy—with source material like that, you know people are going to like it. Just ask Coolio, whose 1995 mega-smash "Gangsta's Paradise" lifted the music and chorus of Stevie's "Pastime Paradise." We hope he thanks Stevie every time he polishes his Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance or dusts off his Billboard Award for having the best-selling single of the year.
