  • OMG, what a beautiful African AMERICAN Princess..

  • syreeta is so amazing so glad i found her thanks so much

  • 70年代混迷のモータウンで頑張ったシリータ・ライトのファショ­ナブル・ソウル、スティーヴィーの"BlameItOnThe­ Sun"~この時はモータウンだったかナ?

  • How come no videos of her?

  • Syreeta's singing was angelic & her pitch...perfect. Alas, another tremendous loss for us. R.I.P. Sister

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • @jazzscherzo ASSHOLE!

  • I can actually hear the little Aretha influences. Syreeta does a remarkable job here.

  • @ShangoJamal shut up

  • I remember this album in my mothers collection and hearing it over and over again.

    This brings back som many wonderful memories!!! THanks for posting this!! Just wonderful!

  • Had this album many years ago and loved this song in particular. I like her version even better than Stevie's.

  • So Glad to see this here! Thank you!

  • ...

  • Diana Ross with all respect due..no way her voice is as powerful as Syreeta.

  • @HLeonick , this is the voice of Stevie's 1st wife, Syreeta Wright. She wrote a lot of songs for and with Stevie. He adored her, her voice and her talent.

  • stevie wonder's version is the best!! but they used to be married

  • stevie wonder's version is the best!!

  • @sistalinda, yes she is my aunt.

  • The irony is that this song may have been about their relationship.

  • i only knew the Diana Ross version But this is the real deal thanks

  • lauryn hill made a cover of this song.

  • one of my favorite from my Aunt.

  • @anasa34  Your Aunt?

  • s'just great.

  • i love her voice, one of the best

  • Man Reeta was very beautiful! I LOVE her song Spinnin' and Spinnin'. This one is hot to.

  • A beautiful woman with a simply BEAUTIFUL GOD-GIVEN VOICE!!!!!!!

  • I like syreeta's version.

    it's so very good !!

  • I had no idea that she had passed,Oh my another true talent gone.

  • She is so beautiful! Sings like an angel!

  • Iremembered this song from child hood but didnt remember it so pretty i always loved it now my daughter loves it too and she plays it back to back is if it was Jasmine sullivan.I love you tube cause it's like seeing and old friend again after 30 yrs.

  • Syreeta was born to perform song named 'Come back as a flower' : )

    She did it, and went peaceful. I wish all of you to come to your part of conclusion and do something.

  • Syreeta does not look like Whitney Houston. (my opinion, of course.) Both women have their own look..both are beautiful. Whitney's voice is (was) stronger. I do believe that Syreeta would have been 63 yrs old now. (if she had not passed away in 2004.) This would make her almost in a different generation from Whitney..who is 46. Minnie Riperton would have been 62 yrs old had she not passed away in 1976, at the age of 31. These women did not strive for "diva" status...they just made love songs!

  • This is when music felt soft and so true

  • I like Stevie's version better.

  • she may look like whitney, but syreeta sang this way from the 60's...

  • she looks like whitnet h.

  • Berry Gordy chose Syreeta to replace Diana Ross but mary wilson blocked it.

  • I love Mary, but in this case I think Gordy was right. His timing was super screwed up though. You don't wait until the new lead is announced to decide on a stiill newer replacement. . Jean worked out. I love thie whole LP this song is from.. To bad Syretta is gone.

  • Found it - eventually, it's the Columbian Earthquake Appeal 1986 - check it out. x

  • This is really beautiful. I remember Annie Lennox singing this song, very beautiful version as well, but I can't find it on here.  Does any one know anything about it?

  • um it;s stevie from Talking Book

  • 高校生の時にレンタル店でレコードを借りて聞き大好きななった曲­です!

  • absolutely love this version!!!!

  • My favorite Syreeta song....SO glad to see it up here for others to enjoy.

  • she sounds like sylvia and witney houston mixed together

  • Comment removed

  • Syreeta's treatment of this song has a more personally passionate edge... most probably because she LIVED it with Stevie. This is mad poignant song, and her rendering is giving me goosebumps even as I listen and type. Would have loved to have seen her do this live. Simply beautiful.

  • This is my favorite song and this was a beautiful version of it thanks for posting

  • rather nice x

  • is this the artist of the song pillow talk?

  • No.  Sylvia recorded pillow talk.

  • The gentle star., an angel!!!

    The god with you in heavens!!!

    Gentle light from you it is eternal!!!

    You love!!!

  • An Artist......of Deepth....Music please come again

  • My God! It has been 25 years since I heard this song. Syreeta was an angel. And this song is very special to me. I searched and searched but couldn't find it anywhere on the net. Thank you for uploading this.

  • I love her song and her version here. Srangely Diana, Ta Ta and Stevie all deliver perfect versions too.

  • I have searched high and low for this song. Brings back memories of my childhood in the mid-80's. THANK YOU!

  • Wow..I searched to hear this song again for years. My mom played it when I was a baby but I remember the way she sung this song and it stayed with me. No one in this universe in my opinion past or present can rip this song like she did. Too bad artist and singers today don't have souls anymore..WOW! Thankyou for posting this song and making me smile and cry at the same time..peace

  • Thanks for posting this! It was so nice to hear the writer's version of her own song.

  • beautiful
