Stevie Wonder quit MoTown in 1970 and released two albums on his own. Berry Gordy was shocked to discover this. Stevie Wonder and Berry Gord agreed to Stevie Wonder's demand of more freedom and full creative control and rights to all his music. In 1972 Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a thirteen million dollar agreement with MoTown Records. Stevie Wonder was entitled to an increased royalty rate, more creative control, and the rights of his songs. This was a unique opportunity for artists at the time. Wonder's songs could now discuss controversial issues such as poverty, war and drugs. In 1972 the singer released Music Of My Mind, his first album in the new MoTown agreement. Talking Book, Stevie Wonder's 1972 album, is a significant moment in music history. It featured Superstition as the top track.
