Obama to honor Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder, whose song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm yours" became a theme for President Barack Obama's campaign, will be honored by the White House with a gig this month.

The White House says the president and First Lady Michelle Obama will present Wonder with a Library of Congress award on Feb. 25.

The gig will be put on air the next day on PBS. Wonder grew up in Detroit and signed with Motown when he was 13.

He presented at the 2008 Democratic National Convention on the night Obama received his party's nomination. He also presented at a gig during the week of Obama's investiture.
