Stevie Wonder-3-819x1024In 1970 Stevie Wonder left MoTown and recorded two independent albums by himself. Berry Gordy was stunned to learn that this was the case with Stevie Wonder. Berry Gordy accepted Stevie Wonder's request for greater independence, full creative control and the right to all his songs. In 1972, Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a 13 million dollar deal with MoTown Records. The contract entitled Stevie Wonder to a higher royalty rate , as well as more creative control as well as the right to his own music, which was not a lot of artists could get in the previous years. The contract allowed Wonder's songs as well as videos to talk about controversial issues like drugs, war, poverty and even politics.

In late 1972 Stevie Wonder released an album which today is known as a historic piece in music, called Talking Book. It featured Superstition as the most popular track.
