The surprise was announced to the thousands
at the United Center in Chicago. Every song I sing,
every song I write is born of my love for you. “
“But this year I have prayed intensely for peace,
not just for the nations of the world, but for each of us,”
Wander emphasized. Now is the time to find out where
we stand and what it will take to conquer a
broken heart and an angry spirit.
The music icon urged the crowd to “choose courage
over complacency” and “hang on until we are truly one people in the United States of America.” “Are you ready to reach the heights?” he said before performing his iconic 1973 track “Higher Ground.” Accompanied by white-clad dancers, Wonder sang: “People keep learning/Warriors keep fighting/The world keeps changing/It won’t last long.”

A longtime Wonder fan, Harris said her favorite album of 2019 was Songs in the Key of Life. The Democratic candidate shared a message on Wonder’s 2020 birthday, calling him a “living legend and old hero of mine.”
Earlier this month, Wonder gave Harris a shout-out at Prince Fakir’s funeral. After singing the “Lord’s Prayer” and saying “Amen” to the crowd at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, Wonder simply said, “Kamala Harris” and repeated, “Kamala Harris.” That’s when I said.”
As Waltz finished his remarks to a standing ovation, his farewell song “Rockin’ in the Free World” was played. Campaign aides say a classic rock fan picked up the song and rocker Neil Young agreed to use it.
Young sued Trump for using the song at a campaign rally without permission.
