Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale

Fulfillingness' First Finale is the seventeenth studio album by American musician singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder originally released in July 1974 via Tamla Records.

Subsequent to the epic sweep and social consciousness of Innervisions (1973), this album projected a more reflective tone with a record about relationships.

The arrangements and songs are warm and his vocals are on point. He expresses dreaming of love on “Creepin’” and being bashful on “Too Shy To Say” to singing about breakups on “It Ain’t No Use”.

The first single “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and launched a pointed criticism of the Richard Nixon administration and Watergate controversy. The Jackson 5 also contributed backing vocals to this song. The second single “Boogie On Reggae Woman” combines an electronic groove with gospel piano and congas.

The album received three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, in 1974.

The album peaked at #1 on the US Billboard 200, #5 on the UK Albums charts.

Check out the tracks:  “You Haven't Done Nothin'”; “Boogie On Reggae Woman”; “Creepin’”; “Smile Please”; and “It Ain’t No Use”.

This LP record is a 2017 reissue on black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in the US via Motown Records.
