My Cherie Amour (1969)Stevie is all the lovable character he ever was ... and always will be ... even though evil Motown had him on puppet strings (and it's really beginning to show). Overall Album Score: 8.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.6

Signed, Sealed and Delivered (1970)Ohhhh, you can just sense that Stevie was tired of his artistic restrictions at this point ... but at least he gives Motown something nice. And something that THE PEOPLE can enjoy. Overall Album Score: 8.2 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.7

Where I'm Coming From (1971)Why, it's Stevie Wonder's transitional album ... He takes over some of the songwriting, but Motown is still in control. If they would have just handed it all over to Stevie, this would have been much better off. Overall Album Score: 8.0 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.1

Music of My Mind (1972)It's the official start of Stevie Wonder's classic career ... it's hard not to instantaneously fall in love with this! There are still some flaws in here ... which, of course, will be corrected upon Wonder's subsequent releases! This is an album that's very well worth checking out. Overall Album Score: 8.8 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.9
