US singer Stevie Wonder has collected one of France's top cultural honours in Paris, 30 years after he was first named to receive it.

The 59-year-old Motown star was made a Commander of the Arts and Letters by French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand.

Mr Mitterrand praised the singer as "music's familiar genius".

Wonder was named a Commander in 1981, but officials said scheduling conflicts had delayed his formal decoration.

"I receive this honour in memory of my mother and in memory of all of those that have made it possible for me to stand here today," Wonder said.
