Very scarce signed 1963 7" 45 rpm album from the American singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer credited as a pioneer and influence by musicians across a range of genres that include R&B, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and jazz. A mono 45 record, signed and inscribed on the rear cover in blue ink by motown producer and composer of the first song, Clarence Paul ("Best of Luck...Clarence Paul") with young Wonder adding his name in between "Stevie Wonder."  Overall very good. The record is included, with some light marks and hairlines but tested and fine. SE 1014 Tamla-Motown Production, Stateside 45 Extended Play, featuring "I Call It Pretty Music" on Side One and "Workout Stevie Workout" on Side Two.  

Blind since shortly after his birth, Wonder was a child prodigy who signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, where he was given (by producer Clarence Paul) the professional name Little Stevie Wonder. The present recording was apparently signed on one of his numerous UK visits in the mid-late 1960s and comes from the collection of Brian Fooks, the founder and head of the UK's Stevie Wonder Fan Club, based in Bath. 

American songwriter, record producer and singer, Clarence Paul was best known for his career with Detroit's Motown Records where he gained fame as Stevie Wonder's mentor and main producer, during Wonder's teenage years. He co-wrote Wonder's first hit song, "Fingertips" (1963) as well as the present Side One song. He also sang backup vocals on Wonder's top-ten version of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind", and Wonder's version of "Funny How Time Slips Away". Paul also produced early Temptations records and wrote/co-wrote such hits as "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" originally for Wonder, and later given to Aretha Franklin who made it a #1 hit, and "Hitch Hike" for Marvin Gaye, later covered by The Rolling Stones, and others.
