Album & artist
ALBUM

Down to Earth (1966)

Wonder's sixth studio album on the Tamla (Motown) label, it moved away from the teen pop sound of his earlier records and helped re-establish him as a Motown hitmaker after his voice had changed. The album includes the hit single 'A Place in the Sun', one of his more reflective, folk-influenced tracks from the period.
