      I gracefully yet gratefully accept your salute with the gracefulness of a swan… 🦢 This song is literally a lyrically, vocally, instrumentally and productively produced masterpiece and I fell in love with this blessing from the moment I first heard it at just three years old in 1979 and now forty five years on this love affair I began with this song way back in the late 70s right up to the present day of now as part of the mid 2020s whilst we’re in 2024 still burns strong within my heart soothing my physical soul and caressing my internal spirit taking me to romantic destinations that only exist within the (12TH DIMENSION) and above into the (HEAVENLY REALMS) which tells me this song must’ve been conceived in Zion and born within Agartha… 🕊️

    My god does Syreeta put today's female singers to shame, no vocal gymnastics to try and impress, just perfect pitch - flawless talent and doesn't feel the need to take her clothes off As most do these days !!

    Billy's piano arpeggios around 2 minutes are so inspired! I guess that they are singing live to a prerecorded band and orchestra track. The lyric for With You I'm Born Again is inspired as well, creating a pop love duet out of a Christian theme is simply straddling two worlds. Bravo Billy Preston!

    Syreeta Wright had a heavenly, operatic voice that caught the ear of her future husband, Stevie Wonder. Her singing style was very similar to the backup sings in Stevie Wonder's band, Wonderlove. Female singers included, Anita Sherman, Lani Groves, Deniece Williams, Shirley Brewer, Minnie Riperton and Susaye Green among other. They all had angelic voices with vocal ranges that reached the heavens.
