Stevie Wonder quit MoTown in 1970 and released two albums entirely on his own. Berry Gordy was shocked when Stevie Wonder told him this. Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's request for more freedom and control of his creativity over his entire catalog of songs. In 1972 Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a 13 million dollar deal with MoTown Records. Stevie Wonder was entitled to a higher royalty rate and more creative control as well as the rights to his songs. This was a unique chance for artists of the time. The songs of Stevie Wonder could now address controversial issues such as poverty, war and drugs. In 1972, he released Music Of My Mind, his first album in the brand new MoTown agreement. Talking Book was Stevie Wonder's album from late in 1972. It's still an important piece of music. It included Superstition as the most popular track.
