This one is true sadly. Died after a long battle with cancer on Monday.

Philistines!

I forgot there wasn't a lot of Motown aficionados on here!

I only know 'With You I'm Born Again'.

Should I know anything else?

The only other sizeable hit she had over here was 'Your Kiss Is Sweet'.

Her 'Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta' album is fantastic. Berry Gordy wanted her to be the lead singer of The Supremes when Diana Ross left, but Mary Wilson put her foot down.

Is that written and produced by Stevie Wonder, and available on CD? Sounds good.

Yes it is, but it's a bit hard to get a hold of. I think it's been deleted, but it''ll probably get re-issued now.

I'm sure she was either married to Stevie Wonder or they were a long time couple.

Her song "Harbour Love", the follow up to "Your Kiss Is Sweet" was one of the airplay hits of summer 1975, it reached the airplay top 20 along with the record that also never made it into the top 30 singles "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" by a certain group called Abba...
