"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 the United States. Recently it was declared that the song reached #4 in the United World Chart.
The song was also covered by the American band The Beach Boys on their 1967 album Wild Honey, by Jimi Hendrix (with Stevie Wonder on drums) on the BBC Sessions album and, with minor changes, by American R&B singer Whitney Houston on her 1998 album My Love Is Your Love under the name "I Was Made To Love Him".
[edit] Bass line controversy
There is some controversy over the bass part in this song. Both James Jamerson and Carol Kaye have claimed to be the composer and performer thereof. The issue remains a mystery, although the style of playing in the song is closer to Jamerson's than Kaye's[1].
