Just another batch of gringo, with all that this entails. They will be cordial and stuff, but at the end of the day there will be this implicit "you are not one of us" arms-lenght reservation in the air that can make things end up badly if one of the parties is disposed to evil things.

Stevie Wonders popularity was before 38 y.o. guys were born or during their childhood. I guess Lauryn Hill as example of mass culture that is americano-centric so it is popular in societies where USA have more cultural influence. When Lauryn Hill released this album i worked in store that was oriented on jazz listeners and it was popular among such people but not among average listener. Here her CDs were in the one row with Cesaria Evora, Herbie Hancock or King Crimson but not among what is popular in charts.I like singing it under the shower.It's a pity that so little people in Poland recognise her as a singer. But it could have been worse, recently at a karaoke I met a guy who is apparently 38 years old and did not know who's Stevie Wonder. I was singing 'Superstition'.

I don't think it should have much too do with age, I am much younger than him and I know Stevie Wonder well. His songs are still played on Polish radios, appear on some TV shows etc.
He is even being referenced in a big Polish hit from the 90s by Kayah called 'Supermenka'. As for Lauryn Hill, yeah she's not mainstream but she's not a jazz singer either.

I like her rapping too, especially in Everything Is Everything.

The first time I came across her was in this film, yet only retrospectively did I realise it was her.
