What was said
"Stevie um loves Mom's Voice. They go to church together and then he wants to sign me at 12. And then my mom wouldn't let him sign me."
Burke recounts an encounter she says took place when she was 12, claiming Stevie Wonder wanted to sign her after hearing her mother sing. She says her mother refused because she was concerned about her age and mental health, and Burke now agrees the decision was right.
