Syreeta Rita Wright Years

Ace's new release from late Motown chanteuse Syreeta, The Rita Wright Years: Rare Motown 1967-1970, kicks off with "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You."  The moody, majestic composition by Brian Holland, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson might have been too unorthodox - beginning with its introductory brass call-to-arms - to attain hit status upon its release as the Motown family of labels' first single of 1968.  But, backed on 45 with Ashford and Simpson's beautifully yearning "Something
