#JeanGrae - "Intro" (2008)

For a brief moment there, Jean seemed poised to be crowned queen of the world - or, at least queen of NY's underground #hiphop community. It never really happened, though not for lack of quality: I reckon her Jeanius album recorded w/ producer #9thWonder to be one of best #rap albums of the noughties. The #falsetto disco coo in that magical #Syreeta sample is dreamy, but it's Jean herself who lights this one ON FIRE

"Roll your windows down / And turn the woofers up / New giddy city get that liquor in your tinted cups / Picture me kicking this pretty then remember the words"

#Syreeta feat. #GCCameron - "I Wanna Be By Your Side" (1974)

This song has an ecstatic, pearly-gates quality to it, like Syreeta and G.C. are indeed right there by your side, clad in white, ushering you across a warmfuzzy threshold into heaven. But what to make of producer #StevieWonder's totally wild - some might say ecstatic - drumming during the crescendo? Or for that matter, the way the song doesn't end, but just cuts off cold . . .

Deep Listening Day #9 — Syreeta (1972). one of my favorite soul albums. I flipped over To Know Him is to Love Him on a comp in the early 00s. I owned a copy of #Syreeta within weeks. it was my first purchase of a MoWest release, a Motown subsidiary.
