In 1972, Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a thirteen million dollar deal with MoTown Records. Stevie Wonder received a higher royalty as well as full creative control. Also, he had the right to his own songs which was rare for artists could get at that time. The songs of Wonder now discussed controversial issues such as poverty, war and drugs. In 1972 the album was came out with Music Of My Mind, the first album released under the brand new MoTown agreement. 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 album's number one song.
