The Clavinet is strongly associated with [[Stevie Wonder]], particularly his 1972 number-one hit "[[Superstition (song)|Superstition]]", where it provides the main riff and accompaniment to the song.{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=243}}{{sfn|Brice|2001|p=102}} The track features multiple Clavinet C overdubs, and requires Wonder and another keyboardist to play on two Clavinets simultaneously to recreate the arrangement in live performances.{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=257}} Wonder began to use Clavinets in the late 1960s, when he was looking for a keyboard that could play guitar-like sounds.{{sfn|Vail|Carson|2000|p=274}} He first used it on "[[Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day]]" (1968).{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=246}} As well as "Superstition", other tracks such as "[[Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder song)|Higher Ground]]" are led by the Clavinet played through a [[Mu-Tron III]] filter pedal, and the album ''[[Talking Book]]'' makes prominent use of the instrument.{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|pp=246,257}} The track "Sweet Little Girl" (on 1972's ''[[Music of My Mind]]'') features the line "You know your baby loves you, more than I love my Clavinet".{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=257}}

By the 1970s, Hohner began to use photos of Wonder in their advertising. He has continued to record and tour with the Clavinet into the 21st century, and has several models. His main stage instrument is a customised D6 with modified preamps and high-quality film capacitors. The D6 is powered by a 9V battery instead of mains power, as it avoids [[ground loop (electricity)|ground loops]] and associated noise.{{sfn|Lenhoff|Robertson|2019|p=257}}
