Fulfillingness’ First Finale
1974
Tamla
The final album that Stevie made with Cecil and Margouleff features highlights like the righteous anger and ludicrously funky clavinet of US number one ‘You Haven’t Done Nothin,’ the tender ballad ‘Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away’ and direct, simple, simply beautiful songs like ‘Creepin’ and ‘Please Don’t Go.’ With confident songwriting, soaring vocal performances and some wonderfully produced, seriously tight Moog bass/Stevie drums rhythm sections, Fullfillingness’… is perhaps the most introspective and reflective album of Stevie’s classic seventies run, equally full of dark and light.
