Stevie Wonder-3-819x1024Stevie Wonder quit MoTown in 1970 and released two albums all by himself. Berry Gordy was shocked when Stevie Wonder told him this. Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's request for greater freedom and control of his creativity over his music. In 1972 Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a 13 million dollar agreement with MoTown Records. Stevie Wonder received a higher royalty as well as full creative control. He also enjoyed the right to write his own music, rare for artists were able to get at that time. The agreement permitted Wonder's songs and videos to be used to debate controversial issues like drugs, war, poverty and even politics. In 1972, he released Music Of My Mind, his first album in the brand new MoTown agreement. Talking Book, Stevie Wonder's 1972 album, was a milestone in the world of music. It included Superstition as the top song.
