It was shortly after Wonder’s fourth birthday that his mother whisked him away from Michigan to Detroit. It was after this change of scene that Wonder’s inherent musical genius began to bloom. That was when Ronnie White of The Miracles saw this 11-year-old boy playing. White would quickly usher Wonder towards the attention of Berry Gordy Jr., who headed Motown Records. It didn’t take long for Wonder to land a record deal, and his musical career turned profitable.

Many were suspicious of the album’s claim at the time! However, the youngster would prove his critics wrong while managing his blindness.
