Stevie Wonder / Talking Book

Talking Book is the landmark fifteenth studio album by American music legend Stevie Wonder, released on October 27, 1972, by Tamla Records. It is widely celebrated as the definitive launch of his legendary "classic period"—an era where he secured complete creative independence from Motown and revolutionized popular music. Driven by the pioneering integration of the TONTO synthesizer and clavinet, the album masterfully balances futuristic funk with tender, personal balladry.
