JULY 13TH 2004 I WENT TO FRIST A.M.E CHURCH FOR THE CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF SYREETA WRIGHT-MUHAMMAD. IT WAS A GREAT CELEBRATION.STEVIE WONDER SANG A SONG THAT HE WAS PLANING TO RECORD WITH SYREETA FOR HIS UP COMING C-D. (GREAT SONG). STEVIE TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVED AND RESPECTED HER. BERRY GORDY SPOKE ABOUT WHAT A GREAT ARTIST SHE WAS. WHEN HER CHILDREN TALKED ABOUT SYREETA IT REALLY TOUCH MY HEART AND MADE ME CRY.A GREAT VIDEO MONTAGE OF HER LIFE WAS SHOWED. AGAIN MY HEART GOSE OUT TO SYREETA'S FAMILY.

Stone Love:
Thank you for sharing this perspective.

I'm still shocked and saddened to hear Syreeta is no longer with us. Her contributions as a singer and songwriter (It's A Shame, Signed Sealed & Delivered) will always be rememebered.

Why cant the powers give artists and people in general, their much deserved props and kudos while they are still alive.

With all due respect, and not to sound cynical,
some of the things that are said at memorial services can sometimes reek of phoniness and disingenuousness!

rest in peace, ms Wright.. you were and are still a star..on earth as it is in heaven!

What Words ELI of Truth - why do we have to wait until Good People have passed over to Praise them and give them the respect the ricjly deserve.

Here currently in the UK we are going through the same with a well respected Radio DJ, but it was also in those last few years this Guy needed the love and support, but now people are knocking each other to praise him, after he has gone!

SYREETA had much Talent and Many of us will never forget her and that Choir has another Great Member.

Thanks Stone Love for the report it is appreciated and means a lot.

Thanks John

Short obit on Syreeta in EW magazine this week. I had also read somewhere that she was going to duet with Stevie on his new cd.
