It always amazes me how young Stevie was when he made that series of ground breaking albums at the begining of the 70s from "Where I'm coming from" through to "Songs in the key of life". To create that body of work in your early to late twenties is remarkable.

Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (1972)

On this day—October 27th, 1972—Talking Book, the fifteenth studio album by Stevie Wonder, was released. The album plus Music of My Mind, released earlier in the year, are generally considered to be the beginning of Wonder’s “classic period,” when the artist was making his best and most consequential music that would last through the release of Songs in the Key of Life in 1976. With his innovative use of keyboards and synthesizers during this time, Wonder would begin a stunning period of creative and commercial success. Talking Book peaked at number three on the charts, issued two number one singles in “Superstition” and “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” earn Wonder his first three Grammy awards, and is widely regarded as one of the best albums of all time.
