Stevie Wonder, who had quit MoTown in the year 1970 to record two solo albums for himself, was shocked by this news. Berry Gordy was shocked when Stevie Wonder told him this. Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's demand for more freedom and control of his creativity over his songs. Stevie Wonder signed a contract worth thirteen million dollars with MoTown Records in 1972. Stevie Wonder was entitled to a higher royalty rate as well as more creative control and rights to his songs. It was a rare opportunity for artists at that time. The contract allowed Wonder's songs and videos to discuss controversial topics such as war, poverty,drugs and politics. The first album he released with his new agreement with MoTown was, Music Of My Mind in 1972. Talking Book was Stevie Wonder's album released in the latter part of 1972. It's still a significant piece music. This album featured Superstition which was the top-rated smash hit track.
