Released in 1972, Talking Book is Stevie Wonder’s second of five consecutive albums issued in the span referred to as his “classic period.” Arguably his greatest and most influential album, it displays the perfect blend of funk, rock, soft-rock, soul, gospel and smooth jazz. It also finds Wonder making the personal political, as his songwriting addresses social ills, heartbreak, political malaise, and empowerment in staggeringly emotional fashion.

Due to its crossover success with audiences of all types, the popular appeal of the record helped destroy the myth that R&B artists were incapable of creating music that could be appreciated by rock audiences. Jeff Beck, Buzzy Feton, and Ray Parker Jr. are among the first-rate guests that appear here. Wonder took home three Grammy Awards for this pop standard: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” and both Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song for “Superstition.”
