Stevie Wonder-3-819x1024Stevie Wonder quit MoTown in 1970, and put out two albums by himself. Berry Gordy was shocked when Stevie Wonder told him this. Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's request for more freedom and control of his creativity over his music. Stevie Wonder signed a contract worth 13 million dollars with MoTown Records in 1972. Stevie Wonder was entitled to higher royalty rates, more creative control, and the rights of his songs. It was a rare opportunity for artists at the time. The agreement allowed Wonder's music and videos to be used to debate controversial subjects like drugs, poverty, war, and other issues. His album from 1972, Music Of My Mind was the first album to be released under his new MoTown contract. In late 1972 Stevie Wonder released an album that is now regarded as a significant piece of music, called Talking Book. The album featured the most popular hit song, Superstition.
