Amy Stewart was born 5th out of 6 children. Her father, Joseph Stewart II, signed her up for singing and dancing lessons in 1960, when she was four. There already was an Amy Stewart registered with Actor's Equity, so she changed the spelling of her name to Amii. She began attending Howard University in Washington but soon left to work with the D.C. Repertory Dance Company, studying ballet and modern dance. Before being signed to Ariola Records, Stewart was in the touring company of the stage production Bubbling Brown Sugar in 1975, firstly in Miami, then Broadway, and eventually London's West End, where she met Barry Leng, a record producer for Hansa records.
At the end of 1977, "You Really Touched My Heart" a Leng/Simon May composition, produced by Leng, was Stewart's first recording. An album followed, which contained five Leng/May songs, one Leng/Morris song and three cover versions.
Amii Stewart is a studio album by Amii Stewart released in 1983 which includes hit single "Working Late Tonight" as well as covers of two songs from Donna Summer's unreleased 1981 album I'm a Rainbow. In 2015, Funky Town Grooves announced they would be reissuing the album on CD for the first time ever.

Ooh, baby, ooh
It's no secret about it
'Cause with his loving touch
He sees to it that I get enough
Feel his touch all over
You know it means so much
It's like thunder, burstin' lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock, knock, knock on wood, baby
Ooh, baby, ooh
