Dan would be a good one to ask for Stevie Wonder.  I skyped him.

As far as technique goes, he is using mask (more forward placement) with a little touch of nasality....NOT singing nasal...but a higher placement with a higher (but not high) larygeal positioning. He's also splitting his resonance at times and employing twang for bite and cut. Notice how he never lets the sound go back or drop down into the throat. The "ng" exercise is what helps you find the spot to place your voice for this kind of singing.

Then you still need to see how you can sound when you get this placement, because if you get too nasal, it deteriorates.
