In The Groove: A full hour mix of Stevie Wonder hits, deepcuts and covers ahead of his Detroit homecoming show

Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.

"In the Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.

It’s a Stevie Wonder throwdown getting ready for his big homecoming show at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit! What an honor to just throw down an hour of the greatest musician of the past 100 years (feel free to fight me on this). It also features covers of Wonder songs including Fugees and John Prine adding in their voices — what a variety. On top of that, there’s some stuff that simply isn’t listed below because they are edits, remixes or pulled from old German TV shows.

Plus, a spotlight on Belair Lip Bombs, new music from Sessa and GOAT, plus throwbacks with Devo and Killing Joke.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
