I generally don't like music that have this sort of sound, but for some reason, I couldn't stop listening. I had to finish hearing it and I think it's because of Syreeta's voice.
I love Stevie Wonder and I knew some of Syreeta's work - but I really have to thank Amy Adams and her love of Meerkats in Junebag for making me adore this song, with a song so obscure, it's hard to imagine there was promo footage and yet here it is, on youtube - amazing and awesome
This osngs also featured in the great movie JuneBug..Check it out...That's what promted me to, first find out who sang it, and second to see if I could download it off of Rhapsody..Unfortunately Rap doesn't have it..But at least I have this great youTube vid.Thanks!
Wow! No trick effects, fast-cutting...just a beautiful singer with a beautiful voice and a beautiful song and you can see the joy on her face, and hear it in her voice, and she is soooo animated. Why can't we have promos like this today?
one of all my alltime favourites. they played it here on german radio regularly, but i didn't know the song's name or the singer....and even after i had become a big syreeta fan, i didn't realize it was actually HER singing this!
Syreeta looks absolutely beautiful in this video! While watching it, a sense of sadness creeps over me knowing that someone this talented & spirited departed this world at such a relatively young age. This song, "Harmour Love", is yet ANOTHER slice of brilliance from the mind of Stevie Wonder, and I've ALWAYS loved it! Stevie appears to have a "masters" degree in creating spiritually uplifting music, and there's no finer example than "Harmour Love". Quite simply, it makes you feel good!
I was familiar with her music to a limited degree because she didnt get much air time even in Motown. Was she a secretary at Motown at one time and was she Stevie Wonders wife? Such an angel... her eyes reflect her tender and sweet soul in this video... RIP Syreeta
@aliquippawill It is a beautiful song, beautiful most of all because it celebrates the triumph of Jesus Christ over the myriad enemies of America - the Idea of Freedom objectified in the otherwise pointless and chaotic movement of History, as it were. So, let us all celebrate the memory of the Risen Savior with Harmous Love!
@aliquippawill Not just that, besides she sadly departing at an early age, she does not seem to have more credit than she deserves. While some try to display some sort of exagerated virtuosity by running some notes here and there or even screamming, she like many women at that time didn't need to do much to catch your soul. She just sang and the message was sent. Stevie and Syreeta was, indeed, a great pair.
Listen to 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers'. The song that marked the end of her marriage to Stevie Wonder. She was a beautiful woman and lyricist, her words were heard at Michael Jacksons memorial when sStevie sang, 'I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer' .. Syreeta's lyrics. also check out 'Blame It On The Sun' lyrics
I thank you for posting this video. I was named after this great lady but I never heard her music. However, I was always and still am a huge Stevie Wonder fan so it was great to have that connection. God bless her and her family.
Please don't anyone hold it against me that I waited so long to find out more about Ms. Wright but I'm only 29-years old... I did not know better:) So as a small tribute to her, I have added this video to my Facebook page. Thank you, Ms Wright.
Wow....that's cool! Yes, she has made a lot of classic songs. Her version of The Beetles "She's Leaving Home." Beautiful...especially with Stevie doing background vocals...
Wow! Thanks so much for posting this Syreeta gem! I have so few video memories of Syreeta. There are pictures, yes, but videos of her singing and doing her thing are so rare. Always loved this song, and just watching her was magical. She was so lovely... as the song I Want To Be By Your Side described, she indeed did possess a 'sad, but lovely face.' For a little while as I watched this performance, she was alive again.
This is absolutely PRECIOUS!!! Syreeta was beautiful, extremely talented, and, I might add, quite underrated as a truly fine Female vocalist. This is one of my all-time favorite "feel-good" songs, and I'm proud to say that I STILL possess the 12 inch LP. that this song was a part of. Syreetas' work with Stevie truly stands the test of time.
I really want to find this song that Seerata does, the title i sdo not know, but some of it contents says:"In my heaven here on earth i've found my paradise, happiness is knowing u r mine one more time...." R their any youtube video out tyhere with her perfoming this song? Anyone?
To gillisgrant...you are mistaken, this song is from her third album "One To One" and the song is called "Harmour Love". Just straightening it out. Peace.
Kiandesworld: My comment was a reply to vcr18 (whose comment is right above mine), who posted lyrics to the song "Happiness". That song is from Syreeta's first album. I am clearly aware that the video posted on this page is that of "Harmour Love".
i only became introduced to this song through the film Junebug and was surprised to see that Stevie Wonder was credited with writing credits. it sounds so modern, the type of thing an indie-pop band might sing....
Beautiful song and nice video. I adore this beauty queen. And, clearly Syreeta is sooo pregnant.
