Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Syreeta Wright (August 3, 1946 July 6, 2004), who recorded professionally under the single name Syreeta, was a Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter. Syreeta was born Syreeta Wright in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As a teenager, she moved with her family to Detroit, where she first came into contact with Motown Records, working for the company initially as a secretary. After Wright caught the attention of songwriter/producer Brian Holland (of Holland-Dozier-Holland), she was signed to the label. Her first single, "I Can''t Give Back the Love I Feel for You", (written by Holland along with Ashford and Simpson) was released in 1968. The song was written for Diana Ross & The Supremes, who later recorded it after the release of Syreeta''s original. The single failed to chart nationally, but fared well overseas, where she would later develop a devoted following. When Diana Ross left The Supremes in early 1970, Motown boss Berry Gordy considered replacing her with Syreeta, but offered the place in the group to Jean Terrell.
