Enjoying the refreshments of London’s Cumberland Hotel in 1966 is Stevie Wonder, as he visits the U.K. for promotion and concert dates. On his 1966 trip, the 15-year-old Stevie arrived in London with Ted Hull, mentor Clarence Paul and Motown drummer Hamilton Bohannon. He appeared on a number of TV music shows, and EMI held a press reception for him on January 20.

These included dates in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Nottingham, as well as smaller towns.
