Anybody know the story behind "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" by Stevie Wonder.

I can't remember (or find on google) whether it's about his new born baby or his wife/girlfriend.
Any info appreciated.

That was for his wife.

For once in my life is about his newborn......

I always start (with adv. students) a stevie wonder song with a stevie wonder joke. The really easy one about him going into emart to shop. he crashes everything down and the manager sends a clerk to help him before he wrecks the story. The young clerk taps him on the shoulder and asks, "May I help you, Mr. Wonder?" He replies, "No, just looking.".

She wasn't his wife when he wrote it.

Thanks for info. How about the old question, "How do you ....... Stevie Wonder off?" Answer "Move his furniture around etc."

Keep those Stevie Jokes coming.
