message: It's "Ma Cherie Amour," not "My Cherie Amour." "My Cherie Amour" is a peculiar English/French hybrid and a bad error for Wikipedia. If you really want to get it right, you need to include an acute accent on the first "e" in "cherie."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.219.149 (talk) 19:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Dude, if Mr. Stevie Wonder himself uses the My variant on his original record, we must use this, since it's the source of all the covers that came later. -andy 92.229.136.9 (talk) 16:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Something is unclear here, so I have made an attempt to tidy it up. This is the original as I found it:
:The song was an autobiographical account by Wonder about a woman he was fascinated with while in school at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. The song was originally written as "Oh My Marcia", for Stevie's girlfriend but after they broke up the lyrics were changed to cherie amour. The song became a #4 hit on both the Billboard pop and R&B singles charts in 1969.
I took the story to mean there were two separate women: one he was fascinated with, and his girlfriend. However, I suppose they are one and the same, so I have altered the wording to suit:
:The song was originally written about Wonder's girlfriend while he was at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan, and had the title "Oh My Marcia".  After they broke up, the lyrics and title were altered to the more general "cherie amour". The song became a #4 hit on both the Billboard pop and R&B singles charts in 1969.
This story is not sourced, so it may not be true anyway. Guyburns (talk) 09:26, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I just found out this Brazilian song whose instrumental introduction sounds very similar to "My Cherie Amour". Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbVZ0nHCQsg
Perhaps my ears are wrong. But the resemblance is so striking that I would not blame my poor hearing. 189.40.66.195 (talk) 01:14, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
