WOT: Don't Drive Drunk, Stevie Wonder

DGrob wrote on 11/9/2005, 8:39 AM
Here goes, in the '80s Stevie Wonder did a song titled "Don't Drive Drunk." I know that he has allowed groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving to use the song.

I'm doing a project for a local program against drunk driving, an issue in our Rocky Mountain Ski Town with winter coming on. I can't figure out how or who to contact to seek permission to use the song to support this non-profit effort. I've Goggled this thing to death. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Any help appreciated. Darryl

I would call his record label (Motown - www.motown.com) for the name of the publisher, or try ASCAP.
