Wonder wrote "My Cherie Amour" while he was still attending the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan.
"Originally, the song was called, 'Oh My Marsha,'" he continued. "Which I wrote for a girl I used to like named Marsha. But we broke up, and I asked Sylvia (Moy) to change the words, and it turned into 'My Cherie Amour.'"
"I Don't Know Why" was a modest hit, but it only reached No. 39 on the charts. Radio DJs began playing "My Cherie Amour" instead.
An Enduring Global Anthem
Seeing the fan response to the song, Motown decided to build on the momentum. Wonder recorded versions of the song in Spanish, "Mi Querido Amor," and in Italian, "My Cherie Amor." A new album, "My Cherie Amour," was even released, with the hit song at the center.
"My Cherie Amour" has become one of Wonder's most beloved and enduring singles in the 50 years since its release, and is listed at No. 22 on Rolling Stone's list of best Stevie Wonder songs.
