Music of My Mind, from The Wonder of Stevie

Hey Higher Ground listeners! We're sharing a preview of a new
podcast called The Wonder of Stevie, from Higher Ground. You
might think you know Stevie Wonder. You might think you know his
music. But you’ve never heard it like this. Host Wesley Morris is
taking you on a deep-dive through Stevie's Classic Period: five
legendary albums back-to-back in just four years. Hear about the
record deal that started it all, the technology Stevie adopted to
create never-before-heard sounds, and his influence on our
culture. There will be appearances  from legends like Barack
and Michelle Obama, Questlove, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick,
Babyface, Janelle Monae and more. 


In this episode, Wesley details how, years after signing his
first recording deal with Motown Records, Stevie decides to
renegotiate his contract. One of the things on the table?
Complete creative freedom. What follows is the beginning of one
of the greatest streak of albums in American popular music: Music
of My Mind.
