Story behind the song
The song, originally entitled "Oh, My Marsha", was composed about Wonder's girlfriend, while he was at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. Following their break-up, the lyrics and title were altered to the more general, "My Cherie Amour". The song became a #4 hit, on both the Billboard pop and R&B singles charts, in July, 1969.
