Stevie Wonder quit MoTown in 1970 and recorded two albums all by himself. Berry Gordy was shocked to be informed of this by Stevie Wonder and Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's request for more autonomy and complete 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 greater creative control and rights to his own songs, which was not a lot of artists could get during that time. Wonder's songs could now discuss controversial topics such as war, poverty, and drugs. His 1972 album, Music Of My Mind was the first to be released under his new MoTown deal. Talking Book was Stevie Wonder's album released in the latter part of 1972. It's still a major piece of music. The album included Superstition which was the top-rated smash hit track.
