Talking Book (Reissue) – Stevie WonderView More By Stevie Wonder Our ReviewStevie 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.

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 Stevie Wonder (5 stars) He is both a superb musician as well as a gifted writer. He changed the world with his music, and continues to do so. 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,...
