I read the book of Stevie Wonder's biography. Berry Gordy put this whole beach thing together and Stevie was very unhappy and bitter doing this because he thought that Berry had compromised his real talent. But on the flip side, Berry was just trying things to hopefully put Stevie back on the map because all of the songs that Stevie sung didn't make the charts and he hadn't had a hit since Fingertips. Berry invested a lot of money with tutors and chaperones for Stevie and he wanted results.

I'm pretty sure that Charles Trenet would have love this cover...

This was the first version of the song that I knew
I still like it a lot...
Stevie sings a bit high in parts but I didn't notice that when I was younger.
