Syreeta Wright
Syreeta Wright was a Pittsburgh-born R&B and soul singer who came up through Motown, first as a secretary and then as a backing vocalist and songwriter. Her marriage to Stevie Wonder in 1970 was brief, but the musical partnership that came with it lasted far longer, and she co-wrote some of his best-known material, including "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours." On her own records she had a light, graceful voice of her own, and her 1979 duet with Billy Preston, "With You I'm Born Again," became her biggest hit.

Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta (1974). Her second album is the one that shows her best: produced with Stevie Wonder, it pairs his rich, off-kilter arrangements with her feather-light singing. "Your Kiss Is Sweet" and "Spinnin' and Spinnin'" are the standouts.
