MOTOWN LP FLASHBACK: ’12 YEAR OLD GENIUS’ 1963!
LITTLE STEVIE WONDER THE 12 YEAR OLD GENIUS (COMPLETE LP) * TAMLA * 1963
ABOUT THIS ALBUM
___
Recorded Live: The 12 Year Old Genius is the first live album by Stevie Wonder. The album was released on the Tamla record label (catalog #240) in May 1963, the same month as the single release of “Fingertips” (catalog #54080). “Fingertips” topped both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the R&B Singles chart, and Recorded Live: The 12 Year Old Genius topped the Billboard 200 (#1), in 1963. The “live” LP comprised of only 7 songs, and “Fingertips” was the longest, nearly 7 minutes long. This is the last album to use the “Little” in Stevie Wonder’s name. Starting with the next album, his name goes by just “Stevie Wonder.” (Source: WiKipedia and All Music)
