from Rosalyn's Corner

Susaye Greene has stockpiled a lot of credits to her resume including 2002 in which her first solo album appeared. Prior to that, she was perhaps best known for being in the Supremes forming part of the lineup with original Supreme Mary Wilson and Scherrie Payne. She appeared on their last two albums and also recorded, wrote, arranged, and produced the Partners album with Payne. She also wrote Deniece Williams' hit "Free"; was in Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove; co-wrote, with Wonder, Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It," from Jackson's smash Off the Wall album; sang with Ray Charles and Harry Belafonte; sang on jazzman Courtney Pine's "Children of the Ghetto"; managed singers, writers, producers, and actors; and worked as a book illustrator. She also managed to produce and write or co-write all but one of the songs on her debut solo work, No Fear Here. The record is a versatile assemblage of contemporary R&B styles, with some adult contemporary, dance, and show music influences. As an ensemble, the Waters has been a part of 260 gold and over 100 platinum albums with artists ranging from Neil Diamond with whom they are now on tour, Patti La Belle, Paul Simon, Janet and Michael Jackson and so many others. They have contributed to movie soundtracks including Happy Feet, The Lion King, The Matrix and American Gangster and television theme songs including "The Jeffersons", "Show Time at the Apollo", "Murphy Brown" and "Fame".
