It's a damn shame Stevie never kept his end of the bargain as far as producer credits and compensation. (FWIW, I say this as a huge Stevie fan.) From https://www.okayplayer.com/music/stevie-wonder-malcolm-cecil-tonto-music-of-my-mind-interview.html https://www.okayplayer.com/music/stevie-wonder-malcolm-cecil...: "The first two albums, Music of My Mind and Talking Book, were put out with Stevie paying the bill out of the $100,000 he had in his account. We used about $64,000 for both of those albums because we were supposed to be creative directors of his company. We were trying to keep the cost down, and we weren’t charging much. We were charging $10 an hour each to Stevie for ongoing services, engineering, and because we were under the impression that we were going to get percentage points for being the creative directors of the company. We figured that we were participants and that we were in this together. That’s what we thought. Of course, that changed, but that was down the line." On Music of My Mind (the first record they did together), Cecil and Margouleff were listed as associate producers. By Fulfillingness' First Finale, they were just listed for engineering and synth programming. When Stevie won the Grammy for Record of the Year for Innervisions, he didn't even mention them in his acceptance speech. Malcolm Cecil later did the same thing for Gil Scott-Heron as he did for Stevie, and he got producer credit for all of those records.
