Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released during the absolute peak of his legendary 1970s hot streak, Stevie Wonder's deeply introspective follow-up to 'Innervisions' earned him yet another Album of the Year Grammy. 'Fulfillingness' First Finale' is an incredibly warm, wonderfully lush progressive soul masterpiece, shifting toward a highly melodic, beautifully mellow, and intensely passionate reflection on faith and love.
