Like no other Stevie Wonder LP before it, Talking Book is all of a piece, the first unified statement of his career. It's certainly an exercise in indulgence but, imitating life, it veers breathtakingly from love to heartbreak and back with barely a pause. свернуть ещё. Воспроизвест.

Talking Book" established Stevie Wonder's albums during this period not as mere vehicles for new hit songs but as whole works of art that required the music loving public to pay attention. Superstition" and "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" are the big hits from "Talking Book. But they aren't the only songs of note on the album. This album, more than even "Music Of My Mind", was a testament to that belief. Stevie himself stated that he felt this ablum had stronger overall songs than even the Masterpiece which was soon to follow, 1973's INNERVISIONS. With this album especially, Stevie would begin to change how songs were recorded and how technology, both new and old could be used to forward that change.

Talking Book is the fifteenth studio album by Stevie Wonder, released on October 28, 1972. This is the second album in Wonder’s classic period from 1972-1976 in which he hit his artistic peak. Following his previous effort, Music of My Mind, Wonder created a perfect mix of funky dance grooves and social awareness. Talking Book also dispayed a growing mastery of creating an album through cohesive sounds and flawless sequencing. The lead single, Superstition, hit the top spot on the Hot 100, and its second single, You Are the Sunshine of My Life, repeated this feat.
