1. Cool!

Good catch, Train. I did not know that.

The Talking Book album (1972, i think) was one of the musical epiphanies of my life. Was a fan before, but really began to understand how skilled Stevie once i heard that.

2. "My Cherie Amour"...Best...Effing...Song...Ever.

My Cherie Amour
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

The title is French for "My Dearest Love."
Wonder wrote this for his girlfriend at the time, Marcia. It was originally titled "Oh My Marcia."
Released as the B-side of "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)." Disc Jockeys flipped the record and played this as the single.

With Each Beat of My Heart

Honey, sweet
I've got something to say to you in privacy
Something I'd like for you to hear
And only your ears alone

Secretly
I've been admiring you intensely
So much so I'd like to settle down with you
And make a home

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea
Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard your speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you with each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

4. !!!!!!!!!!!MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Steveland Morris!!!!!!



"Happy Birthday"

You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world

The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...

We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so
