YES! Stevie harmonizing and Syreeta singing sweetly as ever. SW Presents Syreeta is a masterpiece, hands downs brilliant.

Beautiful song written by Stevie. Jeff Beck cover from his best-selling BLOW BY BLOW album is great as well.

first version is live in Australia from Beck's 2010 Wolrd Tour with Narada Michael Walden on drums, Rhonda Smith on stand-up bass and Jason Rebello.

second version is the studio version from BLOW BY BLOW

Those two Syreeta albums she did with Stevie are a must have. And this song is very sad...It's about their own breakup. I heard that Stevie started dating quickly after their divorce.

Heartbreaking!

The music in those two first albums sound so personal, you could tell that Stevie and Syreeta bared their souls in these songs. The good and the bad.

Yes and this is why if you're a stevie and syreeta fan those two albums are a MUST HAVE. I feel like if you're getting Stevie's classic 1971-1980 (imo) run material these two albums should be included as well as minnie's perfect angel and jermaine jackson's let's get serious. nod

Syreeta wrote the lyrics from her heart too. I always thought Syreeta was often the lyrical person in their compositions. Stevie used a lot of other writers to complete his music whenever he didn't know what to write (I think Chaka Khan wrote the lyrics to "Tell Me Something Good" but didn't fight with Stevie over writing rights).

True they were an incredible duo. Yvonne Wright helped as well. Although Stevie has written some amazing lyrics over time himself! cool
