This was released as a single from 1969's My Cherie Amour. It peaked at #4 at R&B, #4 in the UK and #4 on the Hot 100. Classic. I absolutely love this song.

Not one of my favorites by him, but I like it. It's a definite classic.

One of my favorites of 1969.  I was 26 years old when this came out.

Stevie Wonder on his peak, his 80ies and on stuff was really disappointing.

#399 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

399. Stevie Wonder, "My Cherie Amour"

Hot 100 Peak: No. 4 (July 26, 1969)

You Know What It Is: The heart-melting ballad that is one of the prettiest songs Wonder ever recorded.

Come Together: Wonder co-wrote the song with Henry Cosby and Sylvia Moy. Moy came up with the title, a combination of English and French in a manner reminiscent of The Beatles’ 1966 classic “Michelle.” Wonder recorded his vocal in January 1968. The song was then held for more than a year, until it was placed on the B-side of Wonder’s Top 40 Hot 100 hit “I Don’t Know Why.” Only when that song completed its middling run did “My Cherie Amour” finally get its chance.

Because of You: The success of this 1969 hit helped usher in an era of impossibly pretty R&B records in the early 1970s, including The Delfonics’ “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)” and The Stylistics’ “Betcha By Golly Wow.”
