This was a B side (of "Ma Cherie Amour," if memory serves), and should have been a throwaway... instead, it's a masterpiece.Why?It's not the form of the tune... The form is repetitious, there isn't even a bridge.It's the escalating arrangement (extremely well-conceived), the expertise of the Funk Bros. rhythm section (I hope I'm right about that), and Stevie's ability and MUSICIANSHIP in knowing how to start small and work up to LARGE.For any of us that fancy ourselves to be musician/performers:GRADSCHOOL.**shyphyreActually "I Don't Know Why" was released as the A side and and followup single to "For Once in My Life" in early 69, with "My Cherie Amour" was the B side single. The single was not a big hit, but the B side became a huge hit for Stevie Wonder that summer.@@shyphyreThat is fascinating! I had no idea... but proof, once again, that The Marketplace decides.

Stevie didn't like this song. But I think it is his best. It is one of the best songs ever. Maybe it strikes a chord with some of the destructive women ALL men meet at least once in their lives.
