Syreeta - Wanna Be By Your Side/Universal Sound of The World/Your Kiss Is Sweet(Reprise)

One of the greatest segues/album endings I could think of.

The things about Syreeta's first two albums that always make my smh in amazement beside Stevie's magnificnt production, are the intricate details that went into the albums' sound, and I always discover more of 'em whenever I listen to those albums.

Two of the greatest headphone albums ever IMO.

I actually think it was a FIVE SONG segue:

Waiting for the Postman/When Your Daddy's Not Around/Wanna Be By Your Side/Universal Sound of the World/Your Kiss Is Sweet (reprise) but you're damn right. Definitely one of the great segues in fuckin' ever.

Agreed! Aside from Syreeta's first two classic albums, I was listening to the One To One album the other day and Syreeta was just a goddess. Stevie produced her first two classic albums to perfection, especially Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta, which should be in every Stevie Wonder collection. It fits perfectly with Fulfillingness' First Finale. It is the true 'lost' Stevie album.

This segue/suite just takes me to cloud9

Both albums were strangely complex, if that makes sense. This was around the time when Stevie would mesh a ligh and a dark mood in the same song and it would still sound heavenly.

Would I give for a book that describes in great details the recording process that went around between 72-74 in Stevie's career.

And my greed's radar is an all time high at this point, I would love to hear alternate takes/demos or songs that didn't make it into Syreeta's 1st two albums, I know there are loads out there, both of them were studio hermits at the time.

If there wasn't a 10-minute limit in the time this was posted, the uploader could've easily added the first two...

There is one...and it should be in every musician's and music lovers' library:

Stevie Wonder: A Musical Guide to the Classic Albums

This best book on Stevie's classic albums and musical development. This even gets deep into his work with others, including Minnie, Syreeta, and others. It touches on all of the albums, including Syreeta and Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta. This man went through some deep stuff from 1970-1974....GET IT NOW! Proud owner of a copy. cool

OMG! eek I found it in the used book store in an unbelievably cheap price, but I was reluctant to get it.

I have "Signed, Sealed & Delievered" which kinda left me underwhelmed despite it being well written.

Amazon has some previews. Check it out. I've had my copy since the release of A Time To Love in 2005. Very informative book. It even gets into alot of the songs he recorded during this period as well.
