*”Fulfillingness’ First Finale” is a 1974 album by ‘stevie wonder’; widely considered 1 of the albums from his “classic period”*
(it’s a really dopey album title)
.
(released on 22 July 1974 on the ‘Tamla’ label, it is Wonder’s 19th album overall, and 17th studio album)
(according to Billboard magazine, it was Wonder’s first studio album to top the ‘Pop Albums’ chart where it remained for 2 weeks, while it was his third album to top the “R&B / Black Albums” chart where it spent 9 non-consecutive weeks)
(subsequent to the epic sweep and social consciousness of Innervisions, this set projected a reflective, decidedly somber tone)
(the musical arrangements used in several songs (while ‘masterly’) could be considered sparse in comparison to others among his 1970s masterworks, evident especially in the bleak “They Won’t Go When I Go” and understated “Creepin'”)
(while largely a “stripped-down”, more personal sounding record, Wonder had not completely foregone social commentary on the world around him)
(the #1 hit “You Haven’t Done Nothin'” launched a pointed criticism of the “Nixon administration” bolstered by funky clavinet, drum machine, and a “Jackson 5” cameo)
.
(the album received 3 “Grammy Awards”, including “Album of the Year”, in 1974)
