Syreeta Wright (August 3, 1946[1] - July 6, 2004[2]), who recorded professionally under the single name Syreeta, was an American singer-songwriter, best known for her music during the early 1970s through the early 1980s. Wright's career heights were songs in collaboration with her ex-husband Stevie Wonder and musical artist Billy Preston.
In between working with Wonder on his albums, Wright decided to return to her own singing career.[5] Motown reassigned the singer from Motown's Gordy imprint, where "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You" was released, to Motown's L.A.-based MoWest subsidiary. Wonder and Wright had marriage troubles and divorced in the summer of 1972, ending their 18-month marriage.[5] Following their divorce, Wonder oversaw the production of Wright's first solo album, Syreeta (released on June 20, 1972),[5] which included her take of Wonder's "I Love Every Little Thing About You" from Music of My Mind, the Smokey Robinson classic "What Love Has Joined Together", and The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home", which featured both Wonder and Wright applying background vocals via the talk box. MoWest issued "I Love Every Little Thing About You" in the late winter of 1972, but it failed to chart. Remaining best friends, Wright would continue to provide background vocals and compositions with Wonder for the next two decades. - wikipedia

I like Stevie's version best.
Stevie Wonder
Two different vibes. I like both but the smoothness of Stevie got me♥️
Such an underrated album and superwoman is one of his greatest songs
These two legendary albums are in my vinyl discotheque, the two versions are incredible and inseparable, Stevie plays all the instruments on them. Syreeta's voice is like a timeless and delightful angel.
Stevie and Syreeta both did a great job. But I'll play Stevie's version first.
Both are great! You can hear Stevie doing background in her song. Syretta’s was much lighter. Love them both. Mood is the choice for one over the other.
Mood DOES make a difference🥰
Yes! 💖
I actually like Syretta's version better. Her voice suits the song better, its really the best of both worlds because you have Stevie in the background too.
Both versions are Stevie productions and he's singing on both as well... but I love Syreeta's angelic lead vocals; especially the harmonies.😍
The song is done equally well by both singers.
Stevie's.
The Music 🎶🎶, his Voice, Takes you to another Place.🥰
Stevie
Both styles are so BEAUTIFUL, Mr. Stevie gives me that OLD SCHOOL vibe I grew and ❤️ as a kid…🎼😎🎼
Wow, Syreeta’s version was flawless!! I’ll give the edge to her!
Stevie Wonder 🎶💃🏻🎶🙌🏽🎶
This song ran across my mind just the other day. I like both versions but it was the chorus of Stevie's version that I heard playing in my head.
Greatest WONDER of the world! Hands down!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎤🎹
Hat’s off to Reel Black for these Who Does It Better face offs. Back in the day when I did mix tapes, I would make Double Play Tapes. Playing the same songs back to back eg Love Hangover Fifth Dimension/Diana Ross. We know that outcome! Lol. Please do more. Thanks!
Love everything from Stevie Wonder in the 70's! First time I've heard her version, really diggin' the Clav in this!
Stevie won it for me but I enjoyed Syreeta’s harmonies on the chorus of her rendition.
Steve Wonder
I'm going with Stevie Wonder.
Good music is Good music wkuld.love to hear a new young artist so it real big
Syreeta’s version sounds more like Stevie’s ‘Tuesday Heartbreak’ off of ‘Talking Book’.
Pitting Stevie Wonder vs. Mrs Stevie Wonder? You know that ain't right!
Exactly
I love them both
I've got to go with my boy Stevie's rendition.
I heard Syreeta's first and I love it, but after finding out Stevie made his own, I can't stop replaying it 😭 Something about the breathes in the background and the joyful voices chiming in. It's like he can't contain the love and his voice is so wonderfully boisterous.
Stevie ❤️
I love both versions but Syreeta's had a bit more of an edge to it.
It's the Clav effect!
I absolutely love sweet Syreeta's version and her O SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Beautiful voice, but her WONDERful rendition wouldn't even exist were it not for the Master himself 💖
Steve. 🎶✌️
Stevie… Harmonically it just feels better….
The way it starts and continues to build with all of the small nuances within the instrumentation, it puts the listener in a beautiful dream state….
My question for you is Who did “you and I” better…. Stevie or O’Brien………..
Syreeta takes this one! It's a win for both tho since Stevies Funky Clav and vocals lace the back of her tracks.
Steve wonder how wonderful how beautiful 🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉100% 🤩
Omg I hadn't heard Syreeta for so long her voice was supa gorgeous its no wonder Stevie married
her that voice exquisite! Once again I'm not gonna choose cos I love these 2 so, you can forget
about that reelblack it aint happenin ⭐💕⭐
Husband vs wife
Syreeta 💖
Syreeta on this one.
This is a WIN, WIN Situation
Love
Syreeta!
I like both versions to the soulfulness of Stevie to the sweetness and angelic of Syreeta. I don't know if you guys take request but Bobby Womack/Kci Haley think you lonely now. Con Funk shun/ Dru hiill /Silk Sonic love Train.
I as much as I love to proclaim a definitive version, I have to declare this a straight up tie. It's like trying to determine who did Give Me Your Love better Curtis Mayfield or Barbara Mason? Another straight up tie.
I never even knew Barbara Mason covered that song. Have to check it out.
Syreeta is cool, but Stevie all the way.
The question is a bit misleading since Stevie probably " produced and directed " both . As much as I love Syreeta ( lovely name by the way ) Stevie is in special category : ---- Gershwin, Ellington , Jobim , Beethoven , Charlie Parker . But just between the two of us , when I hear Syreeta sing feel good .
This song is new to me and you didn't put the title. Either way, loved both versions.
Stevie, can't listen to other versions of his songs, except a few that George Michael did, as I love his vocals too.
They were married n worked together. They equa.
Stevie no contest
Two different moods. I will call this a tie!
I'm Syreeta named for Syreeta by my dad who's a big fan still.
Tie!!! 🙌🏼🔥♥️
Nether. Bad Brains and Pure Hell.
It’s a tie!
Syreeta or might be because the music is a little more my tempo
I like Stevie better .
Sorry!!! No one compares to Stevie Wonder... Shalom~
It’s Stevie producing it…and by the way they are two coconspirators during this period. Stevie played this style for Minnie songs as well. But hers pops…
