Description
We talk with Susan Whitall about the fourth and fifth albums in our Motown boxset, Tammi Terrell’s Irresistible and Syreeta’s Syreeta. In this episode, we talk about the sad tragedy of Tammi Terrell, and dispel rumors around her death. We also cover how Syreeta went from a backup vocalist to making some of the most adventurous R&B on the label in the early ‘70s, and how Motown’s move to LA opened it up to more genres and sounds. Stay tuned to the end of this episode to hear hints for the final three LPs in this edition of Anthology, which, if you’ve held off on opening all of them, will be revealed next week.
