Innervisions

Innervisions is an album by Stevie Wonder, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). Its nine tracks scope a wide range of issues, from drug references in "Too High" and "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"; social anger in "Higher Ground" and "Living for the City"; to love in the ballads "All in Love is Fair" and "Golden Lady." The album's closer, "He's Misstra Know It All," is a scathing attack on then-US President Richard Nixon.
