If I Could Change One Thing

If I could change one thing about myself it would be that I want to sing like Stevie Wonder.  Steven Tyler would be cool too, but I would like to be able to do those little stylistic things Stevie does.  

I do a mean Ozzy, and Country Roads?  I knock em out ya understand! They love it.  Foo Fighters have a special place in my heart.  I love singing some Foo.

What I am trying to figure out is how to sing that OTHER music.  I just cannot get the songs to sound right.  I mean, Stevie Wonder has such a vocal range that his shit is basically impossible.  I can sing maybe three or four of them.  Part-Time Lover, Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing,  A Place in the Sun (song), and  I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) passably, but it does not sound quite right. 

More karaoke seems like a reasonable first step in solving this issue.
