Up-Tight Everything's Alright:Stevie Wonder

Up Tight (shown as Up-Tight Everything's Alright on the cover) is a 1966 album by American singer Stevie Wonder. It was his fifth studio release. ==Background[ edit] == The album was released on May 4, 1966 on Motown Records' Tamla label. The album features the U.S. Top 5 single "Uptight (Everything's Alright)", which Wonder co-wrote with Sylvia Moy and Henry Cosby.[2]  The tracks on Uptight (Everything's Alright) were the beginning of Wonder's development into a mature recording artist, independent of his earlier "Little Stevie Wonder" moniker and his image as a young Ray Charles imitator.

Also included on the album are "Nothing's Too Good For My Baby", another Wonder-cowrite, and a cover of folk star Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind", which made Wonder popular with crossover audiences,and a cover of the standard, Teach Me Tonight, featuring vocals with Levi Stubbs and The Four Tops.

The album reached No.33 on the Billboard Pop Album charts and No.2 on the R&B Albums charts.[3]  On the album, Stevie was backed by the Funk Brothers, the legendary, but uncredited, early period Motown Records studio musicians, creators of the famous, recognisable 60s Motown sound. ==Track listing[ edit] == (additional vocals by Clarence Paul) (additional vocals by The Four Tops)

The track was mastered for single release in the fall of 1964 but not issued at that time. However, some copies were pressed two years later when the track was reconsidered for single release. These copies, of which there are very few, were pressed with the later style Tamla label (i.e. the post globes label) that was introduced in the USA during the second half of 1966. The recording was again withdrawn when "A Place In The Sun" was considered superior.)

 * 6) "Contract on Love" (Janie Bradford, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland) - 2:06
