“STEVIE WONDER – I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER”

Posted on by Americaoncoffee

“I Was Made to Love Her”
is a hit single recorded by American soul musician Stevie Wonder for Motown’s Tamla label in 1967 (see 1967 in music). The song was written by Wonder, his mother Lula Mae Hardaway, Sylvia Moy and producer Henry Cosby; and included on Wonder’s 1967 album I Was Made to Love Her. Released as a single, “I Was Made to Love Her” peaked at number-two on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in July 1967.

The song was held out of the top spot by “Light My Fire” by The Doors and spent four non-consecutive weeks at number-one on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart in the United States. PThe song reached number 5 in the UK. The song failed to chart elsewhere, however, as it was not released in nations such as Canada or Australia.

When asked in a 1968 interview which of his songs stood out in his mind, Wonder answered “I Was Made to Love Her because it’s a true song.” The song features Wonder’s harmonica solo in the introduction. The song also features strings following the bridge section.

The song also features the use of an electric sitar in the opening and repeated throughout the verse. The last lyric line “You know Stevie ain’t gonna leave her,” ad libbed by Wonder,  refers to the singer himself.  wiki
