Stevie Wonder, who had quit MoTown in 1970 to make two separate album for himself, was shocked by this news. Berry Gordy was shocked when Stevie Wonder told him this. Berry Gord accepted Stevie Wonder's demand for more freedom and creative control over all his songs. Stevie Wonder signed a contract of 13 million dollars with MoTown Records in 1972. Stevie Wonder was entitled to more royalty and more creative control as well as the rights to his songs. It was a rare chance for artists of the time. The agreement also allowed Wonder's songs and videos to address controversial subjects such as drugs, poverty, war, and other issues. His album from 1972, Music Of My Mind was the first to be released under his brand new MoTown deal. In the latter part of 1972, Stevie Wonder released an album that is today regarded as an important piece of music, titled Talking Book. It featured Superstition as the top track.
