STEVIE WONDER – FULFILLINGNESS’ FIRST FINALE
Fulfillingness’ First Finale is a 1974 album by Stevie Wonder; widely considered one of the albums from his “classic period”. Released on July 22, 1974 on the Tamla label, it is Wonder’s nineteenth album overall, and seventeenth studio album. According to Billboard magazine, it was Wonder’s first studio album to top the Pop Albums chart where it remained for two weeks, while it was his third album to top the R&B/Black Albums chart where it spent nine non-consecutive weeks. As has become his custom, Stevie Wonder plays almost all of the instruments on FFF. More than it predecessors, FFF abounds with other voices, including cameo appearances by the Jackson 5, the Persuasions, and — would you believe — Paul Anka!
