Los Angeles:
Legendary singer Stevie Wondergave a surprise mini-concert at a packed rally for the USPresident Barack Obama in Cincinnati.
The 62-year-old told 15,500 people gathered to see thepresident that "it's time for us to truly come together andmake a difference", The Hollywood Reporter said.
"When I hear someone talking about the 47 per cent thatdon't matter, that's unacceptable," Wonder told the crowd,before launching into a set of his greatest hits, includingSuperstition.
Like Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry and John Mellencamp,Wonder has been travelling around the country to get the votefor Obama.
The President also paid tribute to Wonder saying, "Theremay be some folks who are still undecided, just decided youwanted to hear Stevie. I can't argue with that.
"But for those of you or your friends or your neighbors,who are still trying to make up their minds, this is not justa choice between two candidates or two parties. It is a choicebetween two different visions of America."
After the President had finished his speech, Wonderreturned to the stage for an encore. He sang a few lines fromSigned, Sealed and Delivered mixed with Obama's rallyingcall, 'Fired up, ready to go!'
The audience cheered loudly as Obama offered a few dancemoves.Before arriving in Cincinnati, Wonder made an unannouncedvisit to Cleveland, where he did a street concert for a smallcrowd of 50 people near the busy Cuyahoga County early votingsite.
