Stevie Wonder’s current tour will bring him to Ohio Wednesday for a concert at Value City


Stevie Wonder’s current tour will bring him to Ohio Wednesday for a concert at Value City Arena in Columbus. Here are five facts about the music legend:

v No thumb: When he plays keyboards, he doesn’t use his right thumb.

v Lovely daughter: On 1976’s “Songs in the Key of Life,” Wonder wrote “Isn’t She Lovely” to celebrate the birth of his daughter Aisha. Now Aisha Morris is a backup singer, accompanying her father on a tour in which he’s performing that album in its entirety.

v Songs for others: Hits he’s written for other artists include “Tears of a Clown” for Smokey Robinson, “It’s a Shame” for the Spinners, “Tell Me Something Good” for Rufus and “Let’s Get Serious” for Jermaine Jackson.

v MLK Day: His 1981 song “Happy Birthday” helped establish Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday as a national holiday.

v Guest spots: His harmonica can be heard on such hits as Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You,” Elton John’s “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues” and Sting’s “Brand New Day.”

“The Dovekeepers” (9 p.m., CBS): Cote de Pablo (“NCIS”) returns to prime time in “The Dovekeepers.” It’s a two-part historical romance about a group of courageous women struggling to survive during the Siege of Masada in 70 A.D.

“Weird Loners” (9:30 P.M., FOX): “Weird Loners” is a quirky new sitcom about four single people who are unexpectedly thrown together in a New York townhouse. We’ll surmise that these people are weird and, also, loners.

“Amish Mafia” (10 p.m., Discovery): As the series ends, I can’t help but wonder if it will simply cut to black as did “The Sopranos.” In this case, I think that simply involves blowing out a candle.

“Younger” (10 p.m., TVLand): A 40-year-old woman pretends to be 26 to snag a dream job in this new comedy. See story at right.
