Who Did It Better? - Stevie Wonder vs. Syreeta (1972)

As always, please listen to both renditions and share your thoughts in the comments section. ----- Syreeta Wright (August 3, 1946[1] – July 6, 2004[2]), who recorded professionally under the single name Syreeta, was an American singer-songwriter, best known for her music during the early 1970s through the early 1980s. Wright's career heights were songs in collaboration with her ex-husband Stevie Wonder and musical artist Billy Preston. In between working with Wonder on his albums, Wright decided to return to her own singing career.[5] Motown reassigned the singer from Motown's Gordy imprint, where "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You" was released, to Motown's L.A.-based MoWest subsidiary. Wonder and Wright had marriage troubles and divorced in the summer of 1972, ending their 18-month marriage.[5] Following their divorce, Wonder oversaw the production of Wright's first solo album, Syreeta (released on June 20, 1972),[5] which included her take of Wonder's "I Love Every Little Thing About You" from Music of My Mind, the Smokey Robinson classic "What Love Has Joined Together", and The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home", which featured both Wonder and Wright applying background vocals via the talk box. MoWest issued "I Love Every Little Thing About You" in the late winter of 1972, but it failed to chart. Remaining best friends, Wright would continue to provide background vocals and compositions with Wonder for the next two decades. - wikipedia ----- Please join our mailing list by sending an email to [email protected] and follow us on social media @reelblack so that you can stay informed of future projects created outside of this platform.
