Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments．He first learned to play thedrums．He then mastered the harmonica and the piano．He became a member of the junior churchchoir(唱诗班) and a lead singer．In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different in-struments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊) of neighbors&39; homes．

One of Stevie&39; s sessions was overheard by Ronnie White , a member of a popular singing groupcalled The Miracles．Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie&39; s talent and took him to audition(试听)for Berry Gordy, the president of I-Iitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown．

Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie&39; s storyis music history．
