Stevie Wonder originally wrote this song for his girlfriend when they were both students at the Michigan School for the Blind at Lansing, Michigan. He called it "Oh My Marsha". Inevitably they separated and the song was shelved until 1967, when with co-writers Sylvia Moy and Henry Cosby, Stevie revised it with the generic title "My Cherie Amour". But it did not see the light of day until 1969 because Wonder had vocal problems for some years and could not record it. When it was finally released in January 1969 it went "through the roof"! rising to No #4 on both Billboard Magazine's "Pop" and "R&B" charts that same year and has been hailed as a Soul Classic ever since.
