Page 10-The Chronicle, Thursday, November 12, 1981 arts and leisure spcTiLiem Syreeta Wright Born in Pittsburg, Syreeta Wright is the daughter of a career Air Force man. Although she began singing at the age of three, Syreeta’s real introduction to performing came at age 13, when she joined the choir of the prestigious Mather Academy in South Carolina, where she was a student. She remained there for four years and then, went on to win several talent shows while, in college and build a name for herself on the local scene. An audition with Brian Holland let to her signing with Motown Records. Her first record, “I Can’t Give Back The Love,” penned by Ashford & Simpson, was released under the name Rita Wright and her performance convinced Motown that it had, an extradoniary find. Though recording kept her, busy, Syreeta found time to write her, own songs, and like everyone else who met her,, Steve Wonder was impressed with Syreeta the singer/songwriter. But he was equally impressed with Syreeta the woman. Steve and Syreeta eventually married and their, musical collaborations, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” “Blame It On The Sun,” “It’s A Shame” and “If You Really Love Me” earned plaudits from critics and the public alike. Although the marriage did not last, this did not end their, friendship , nor their musical union, and their, continuing working relationship lyielded the highly acclaimed Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta album. Later, when, Stevie produced his classic Secret life of Plants LP, Syreeta penned the lyrics to and performed “Come Back As A Flower”. Syreeta’s next move resulted in her first numberone record as a singer: the pognant ballad, “With You I’m Born Again”, which she per formed as a duet with Billy Preston. This , song thrust Syreeta into the ,forefront of today’s conteiiipordry singers and established her ,as an international talent. That ,Syreeta continues to ask more of herself as a total artist was evident on her last album, Syreeta, produced by Richard Perry, Jerry peters and Hal Davis. “With that album,” she reflects, “I was able to have more input. For the first time, I felt the true sound of Syreeta was coming through.”. The sound comes through even more on her,most recent album. Set My Love In Motion. Syreeta’s chemistry with producer Ollie E. Brown, along with Hal Davis, Angelo Bond and William Weatherspoon, has, resulted in what many consider to be her ,most ambitious project. Helping Syreeta reach her,goals have been her , managers Suzanne De Passe and Tony Jones, along with Motown’s Berry Gordy, executive producer of Set My Love In Motion. “With all their support and involvement in my career, I just feet that \rm on the right toad to doing the many things I want do do”, she says. “I want to explore different areas of music and get involved in acting. Right now, I have every reason to believe that these things will happen. Sheinwold on Backgammon STARSCOPE by Alfred Sheinwold Clare Anaswcll PERMANENT ADVANTAGE You, White, roll 4-3 in the diagrammed position. How do you play it? (Don’t over look the man on the bar.) You may be tempted to hit the blot on Black’s bar point, but you should resist the temptation. Black is a 2 to 1 favorite to hit you right back as he comes in from the bar, and even if he misses, you are still not out of the woods. You are therefore unlikely to gain a permanent advantage from hitting the blot. You do gain a permanent advantage if you come in on Black's 4-point and move over from his 1-point to make the 4-point. Few early moves are better than mak ing your opponent’s 5-point or 4-point. From such an ad vanced point you are in posi tion to get out and race for home if the need arises, so that you are very seldom gammoned, you cannot be shut out of the opponent’s board when you have made a point in his board; and you are in position to hit any blot that Black may leave in his outer board as he tries to en ter his home board. WEEK OF: NOVEMBER 12, 1981 Would you like to have Alfred Sheinwold teach you how to play backgammon? A 12-lesson booklet will be on the way to you when you send $1 plus a stamped, self- addressed, No. 10 envelope to Backgammon, in care of this newspaper, P.O.

(WHITE) WHITE S HOME BOARD Brent, Jimmy And Phyllis Bring Drama to ‘NFL Today Show business and profes sional football are about one-millionth of an inch apart. “Monday Night Football” which also showhow man ges to air on Thursday and Sunday nights,, too) might have started it all by stuffing three sportscasters into a booth to cover one game. This , might ihave worked except that ,one of those men was the pureyor of polysyllabic jabber Howard Cosell. Howard likes to steal the show from everybody and everything else, including his , co-workers, the (Com mercials, the coaches^ the theme music and the foot ball game. Continuing the show busi ness movement is CBS’ popular pre-game show “The NFL Today”, which features Phyllis George, who knows little or nothing about football; Irv Cross, who (is a competent ex player who knows the game well; Jimmy “the Greek” ling, insightful sports re ports on the , “Today Television by Allen Johnson Live” has dropped out sight. While most of tli original troupe are at lea; making bad movies, tlj token black member dot not seem to be faring vei well: Snyder, wbo has, trouble talking in coherent sent ences; and Brent Mus- burger, whom Jimmy punched, out in a bar. The plot thickens. Phyllis and Jimmy don’t like each other either although Brent and Jimmy have made up. So Jimmy’s portion of the show is taped in advance so he and Phyllis don’t have to cross paths. , Meanwhile, on NBC* which has,most thorough, sensible coverage of the NFL, Bryant Gumbel is doing an excellent job of anchoring the , network’s pre-game show, NFL ‘81.” Gumbel also does interest- Show”. Gulmbel has* in fact, handled himself so well in front of the camera that he was tapped by NBC to replace Tom Brokaw on the morning program. Ironically, not many people are watching Gumbel on “Nfl ‘81”. “NFL Today” held a whopr ping 39 percent viewship lead last season. Just goes to show you that qualify does not always sell. Short takes... Many members of ti black community thin; that’s all well and go# since Morris degradi himself and black people many of his roles.
