Robert Margouleff and Malcolm Cecil, surrounded by their giant TONTO Synthesizer.

These two engineers and musicians enabled Stevie Wonder to explore sounds never heard before, and kickstarted his classic era, just in time for the 70s!

Stevie Wonder smiling, without his sunglasses, and his hair tied into dreads. There's a strong shadow cast on half of his face. A backlit photo of Stevie Wonder, almost making him look like a silhoutte. He's now wearing sunglasses, unlike in the previous photo.

Stevie Wonder, recording the harmonica tracks for his album Talking Book (July 4th 1972)

Considering there's only one song in the whole album where a harmonica can be heard, he was most likely recording "Big Brother", the second track on side two of the album.

Stevie sitting on a stool in the middle of a recording studio. He's holding the harmonica with both hands, and has a microphone directly in front of his face. Stevie, in the same position as in the previous image, but now playing the harmonica. A closer look at Stevie playing the harmonica for the recording.
