In 1970 Stevie Wonder left MoTown and recorded two solo 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 13 million dollars MoTown Records contract in 1972. Stevie Wonder was entitled to more royalty as well as more creative control and the rights of his songs. It was a rare opportunity for artists at the time. The songs of Wonder now discussed controversial topics such as war, poverty, and drugs. The first album Wonder released under his new contract with MoTown was Music Of My Mind in 1972. Talking Book was Stevie Wonder's album that was released in the late year of 1972. It's still a major piece of music. This album contained Superstition, the number-one hit song.
