There were some rumblings in the early 70’s that “The Motown Sound” was beginning to get a little, shall we say, stale. Stevie Wonder certainly broke from that mold with the first effort at producing himself. It sounded more like a Stax record straight outta Memphis instead of from Motown. Whatever angst Berry Gordy may have felt went away when this stayed at #1 on the soul charts for six weeks.
