National Order of Arts and Letters.
Stevie was awarded the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and performed his commission, "Sketches Of A Life," which placed him in a very select group of eminent composers who have received library commissions, including
Aaron Copeland, Leonard Bernstein and Paquito D'Rivera.
