Rocky’s recent live performances have seen legendary highlights including a sold-out concert at Afro Funke’ in Los Angeles when none other than Stevie Wonder graced the stage with him. Rocky was invited to be the musical personality for the 2005 Reebok Humanitarian Awards where he was joined in song with Peter Gabriel.
