"My Cherie Amour" is a 1969 soul classic by Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder. Co-written by the singer, Henry Cosby, and Sylvia Moy, 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 written called "Oh My Marcia" but Moy told Stevie to change the name from Marcia to cherie amour. The song became a #4 hit on both the Billboard pop and R&B singles charts in 1969. The song is covered by fellow Motown act The Jackson 5. My Cherie Amour is played on the Miss Dior Cherie commercial staring Elvis Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough. A version was covered by New Zealand singer Tim Armstrong in 2006.
