We continue our look back at the music of 50 years ago…..
Motown founder Berry Gordy made a fortune by controlling the artists on his label. He groomed them…he picked out the songs they recorded…he controlled most of what they did. And some of his major artists began to chafe under that kind of control as we entered the 1970’s. That included Stevie Wonder who turned 21 in 1971. That meant the original contract that kept Wonder on a short leash would come to an end. And Wonder would receive all of the royalties that his 60’s work had piled up. Gordy, of course. wanted to re-sign Wonder and Stevie knew it. So, he demanded some freedom to record the last LP under his old contract and got it for 1971’s ‘Where I’m Coming From”.
