Album Description
Available in:
Talking Book (1972) est le quinzième album studio de Stevie Wonder, paru le 28 octobre 1972 sous le label Motown.
Marquant le début de sa « période classique », ce disque témoigne d'une liberté artistique totale vis-à-vis de la maison de disques. La production, assurée par Malcolm Cecil et Robert Margouleff, repose sur une superposition complexe de claviers et de synthétiseurs (Arp & Moog, Fender Rhodes), remplaçant les arrangements orchestraux traditionnels. L'usage du Hohner clavinet modèle C sur le titre « Superstition » est devenu une référence technique absolue.
Porté par les succès « You Are the Sunshine of My Life » et « Superstition », l'album a remporté trois Grammy Awards en 1974 et a contribué à l'unification des publics rock et R&B.
L'opus inclut également des collaborations avec Jeff Beck et David Sanborn.
User Album Review
As the second of five consecutive albums which made up Stevie’s classic period, Talking Book found Wonder at the top of his game, combining tight song writing with warm electronic arrangements and effervescent vocal performances.
Released in 1972 and sandwiched between the release of Music of My Mind and Innervisions, Talking Book saw the then 22 year-old Wonder enjoying more artistic freedom from Motown, taking over the production reins and playing most of the instruments himself. As a result, the sound of the album is sharply defined by Wonder's exquisite keyboard work, and his use of the Hohner clavinet model C on Superstition became widely regarded as one of the definitive tracks featuring the instrument.
Despite making the majority of Talking Book himself, the album also benefits from the talents of guest guitarists Jeff Beck, Buzzy Feton and Ray Parker, Jr who featured on Maybe Your Baby and Lookin' For Another Pure Love.
Wonder won three awards for Talking Book at the 1974 Grammys with You Are the Sunshine Of My Life winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Superstition picking up both Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.
