Wonder was presented with the Library of Congress's second annual Gershwin Prize for Popular Song during a concert at the White House.
Michelle opened yesterday's event with a speech in which she revealed that Wonder's Talking Book was the first album she bought. "Years later, I discovered what Stevie meant when he sang about love. Barack and I chose the song You and I as our wedding song," Michelle said.
Obama added, "I think it is fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me, we might not have married."
