Higher Ground listeners! We’d like to share the first episode of an exciting new Audible Original podcast. It’s called The Wonder of Stevie.

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.
