View More By Stevie Wonder Our ReviewReleased in 1972 when he was 22 years old, Music of My Mind was the first album on which Stevie Wonder had complete artistic control and he embraced it totally. Employing the one-man-band approach that he would use for many of his classic recordings of the 1970s, he played nearly every instrumental part, sang all of the vocals, and also produced the album, putting his years of Motown studio training to use. Performed on then cutting-edge technology such as Arp and Moog synthesizers, the overall sound is warm, rich, and exciting, from the driving funk of “Love Having You Around” and “Keep on Running” to the gentle organ and clavinet lines of “Superwoman” and “Seems So Long” and the infectious R&B joy of “Sweet Little Girl.” Though not as cohesive or consistent as his subsequent mid-1970s masterpieces -- Talking Book, Innervisions, Fullfillingness’ First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life — this album still has moments of unquestionable brilliance that rank among his best work, and it shows him on the brink of a major artistic leap that few other popular musicians have equaled.. Customer ReviewsThe Man is an Orchestra (5 stars)This album captures Stevie at such an interesting time in his musical life. Stevie's first completely independent effort "Where I'm Coming From (1971)" found Stevie finding his own voice in a fragmented and uneven manner.

The start of an unmatched series of quality releases (5 stars) Some musicians just have it all. They are the Mozarts, the Schuberts, the Debussys, Keith Jarrett, John Lennon and Stevie Wonder. Age and time don’t matter, and all the technical and cultural aspects only serve the artist’s medium for immense creativity. Having been the singing “Little talented Stevie” in the 60’s, this recording broke Stevie Wonder into adulthood both legally and artistically. He renegotiated the contract with Mo BiographyBorn: May 13, 1950 in Saginaw, MIGenre: R&B/Soul Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s 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,...
