Syreeta - Syreeta

Self-titled album from Syreeta Wright. 1972 MoWest.  Muse and collaborator of Stevie Wonder.  Stevie is a musical genius...but even geniuses have collaborators that help them lift the bar.  This album gives us a glimpse of the beginning of his 70's renaissance.  Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions and Fulfillingness' First Finale. You want to understand that output....it starts here. 

Backing Vocals - Gloria Barley (tracks: A1, A3, B2) , James Gilstrap* (tracks: A1, A3, B2) , Lani Groves (tracks: A1, A3, B2) , Linda Tucker (tracks: A1, A3, B2) , Bass - Scott Edwards (2) (tracks: A1 to A4, B2 to B5) Drums - Keith Copeland (tracks: A1 to A4, B2 to B5), Guitar - Buzzy Feiton* (tracks: A1 to A4, B2 to B5), Instruments [All Other Instruments By] - Stevie Wonder, Producer - Stevie Wonder, Strings - Julian Gaillard Orchestra.

The album has high moments....the lyrics probably more than her voice for me that stand out.  Black Maybe...a standout.  Covered by Gary Bartz and his Ntu Troop, this is a powerful song.  Her voice adds the right emotional touch....spot on.
