iTunes Review

Stevie Wonder had been a pre-teenage prodigy with a handful of hits when he renegotiated his Motown contract at age 21. Music Of My Mind came first, but this 1972 album – which Wonder self-produced, wrote, and sang, while playing drums, harmonica, keyboards, and ground-breaking synthesizers – established the signature sound that made him a multi-platinum hit-maker for two decades. The album’s ten songs segue from ballads (“You And I,” “Blame It On The Sun”) and social commentary (“Big Brother”) to jazzy throwdowns (“Lookin’ For Another Pure Love”) and straightforward love songs (“Tuesday Heartbreak”). Beyond the pair of chart-toppers – the joyous “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” and the crunching riff, rolling keyboards and punchy horn lines of “Superstition” – the claustrophobically dark, almost oppressively funky “Maybe Your Baby” offers the most memorable musical moments.

Customer Reviews

Stevie's The Man

Without a doubt Stevie Wonder has the attitude and perservience to make a great album, plus Superstition is one of the greatest songs in popular music even today. Totally brilliant and dramatic, and just behind Songs in the Key Of Life, and of course the best: Innervisions.

"The Many Sounds That Meet Our Ears"

"..The Sights Our Eyes Behold!" This is the Record where "Little Stevie Wonder" showed the World; "I'm all grown up now!" Free now to really make the "Music In His Mind"; he wrote lyrics, composed music & played nearly all the instruments on "Talking Book" himself! {Having "Grown Up At Motown", Mr. Stevie Wonder was exposed to & learned from the best of all the classic Soul and R&B Artists there: Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations & The Supremes; just to name a few!} On "Talking Book"; he really "came into his own!" (My favorites: Superstition, I Believe When I Fall In Love, You've Got It Bad Girl & You Are The Sunshine Of My Life!) Touring with the Rolling Stones & recording with Jeff Beck gave Stevie the Young College Rock audience+made "Talking Book" a huge success, on the Radio & in Album sales! Don't be "Superstitious"; listen to it again!...by Grimmbo.

Stevie Wonder is a much-beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only of R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder's heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity; even when he addressed serious racial, social, and spiritual issues (which he did quite often in his prime), or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty,...
