22-year-old Stevie Wonder’s 14th studio album was released on 3 March 1972.
Music of My Mind was the first release under his new contract at Motown (and his first contract signed as a legal adult), which gave him complete control. Wonder was eager to show his musical interests and inventiveness and hired electronic music pioneers Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff (both members of the influential Tonto's Expanding Head Band) as associate producers, engineers and programmers. They would work together on 3 more albums.
Wonder played all the instruments on the album except guitar (Buzz Feiten) and trombone (Art Baron).
Music of My Mind was a commercial hit (peaking at #21 in the US), but was soon overshadowed by Talking Book, released in October 1972.
