It was written by Henry Cosby and Clarence Paul.  Other songs by 
Henry Cosby include other Stevie hits like I Was Made To Love Her, My 
Cherie Amour, Shoo Be Doo Be Doo Da Day and Uptight Everything's All 
Right. Both Cosby and Paul also produced many early sessions at 
Motown/Tamla for Stevie and others. For more info on Cosby, see the 
obit at: http://www.bassland.net/_discussion/0000020b.htm

The co-writer, Clarence Paul, is credited with coming up with the 
name "Stevie Wonder." (Stevie's real name is Steveland Morris.) Paul 
also produced hits for The Marvellettes, Marvin Gaye and the 
Temptations, among others.  For more info, see:
