My Cherie Amour

"My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder is originally in the key of B major. The song was released in 1969 and became one of Wonder's most popular hits. Stevie Wonder, along with Henry Cosby and Sylvia Moy, composed the song. Initially, it was titled "Oh My Marcia" and was inspired by Wonder's girlfriend at the time, but later the lyrics were changed. The song was recorded at Hitsville USA, the studio for Motown Records. The melody is smooth and features a gentle, flowing rhythm with a prominent piano and string arrangement, typical of the Motown sound of that era. The song's structure is simple yet effective, highlighting Wonder's emotive vocal delivery.
