I never realized that Stevie Wonder was so prolific. Between 1962-1976 he put out 23 albums. This does not count compilations but unique albums. He didn't really hit his groove until the early 70's. Music of My Mind is the 2nd of six albums he put out between 1971-1976 that are highly touted. I first heard of this album years ago when living in Philadelphia. A guy I worked with suggested I give it a listen saying that he felt it was Wonder's best. I trusted his opinion and went out and bought it.
At the time I was really into Innervisions the 4th of those six albums and I was surprised to hear how different the two albums sounded. The music, the beats, the lyrics, there is very little alike on these two albums. I was disappointed in Music of My Mind at the time and really haven't listened to it since.
Hearing it now it's like hearing it for the first time. It's very experimental with just a sense of the wonderful funky beats to come on Innervisions. It's still not one of my favorites and a bit slow and offbeat for me.
