Hunter Hayes and Stevie Wonder Teaming Up For ACM Performance
. According to R.A. Clark, son of the late Dick Clark and executive producer of the ACM Awards, as the show producers were talking to Hunter about his musical influences, Stevie Wonder's name came up. They then put a call into Wonder, and he agree to do it. Hunter is one of the hottest rising stars in country music today, which was something that was not lost on Wonder. "When we reached out to Stevie," said ACM president Bob Romeo, "he knew a handful of Hunter's songs and he wanted to jump on the bandwagon." Clark elaborated on the choice. "When Hunter's on tour, he covers some Stevie Wonder music," he explained. "That's what got us thinking about it." And when they went to Stevie with the idea, the R&B legend told them, "'I know that yong man, I"ve listened to him, he's a great talent.'" more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
