Stevie Wonder, who had quit MoTown in the year 1970 to record two albums for himself, was stunned to learn this. Berry Gordy was shocked to hear this by Stevie Wonder and Berry Gord signed Stevie Wonder's offer for more autonomy and complete creative control and rights to all his music. In 1972 Stevie Wonder returned to MoTown records and signed a thirteen million dollar contract with MoTown Records. Stevie Wonder was entitled to a higher royalty rate and more creative control as well as the rights to his songs. This was a rare chance for artists of the time. The agreement permitted Wonder's songs and videos to address controversial topics such as drugs, poverty, war, and other issues. In 1972 the singer released Music Of My Mind, his debut album under the brand new MoTown agreement. In the latter part of 1972, Stevie Wonder released an album which today is known as a significant piece of music, Talking Book. Which included the number one hit single, Superstition.
