What was Stevie Wonder’s first album to feature a Moog synthesizer prominently?

Music of My Mind was Stevie Wonder’s first album to feature a Moog synthesizer prominently.

The 1972 album reflects Wonder’s growing command of electronic keyboards and studio technology. The Moog synthesizer expanded the range of sounds available to him, allowing him to build bass lines, melodic parts, and atmospheric textures that could not be produced by a conventional piano alone.

Wonder’s use of synthesizers became one of the defining features of his classic 1970s recordings. Music of My Mind helped set up the more celebrated electronic textures heard on Talking Book and Innervisions, while still retaining strong roots in soul and gospel.

This subject can be confused with the first album on which Wonder used any electronic keyboard at all. The useful distinction is prominence: Music of My Mind is widely identified as the breakthrough album for his prominent Moog-synthesizer sound.
