Born Suzee Wendy Ikeda on August 25, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of a Japanese father and an American mother.
Initially assigned to Mowest, Motown's subsidiary label, her first single was a cover version of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" from the Disney film, "Song of the South." The single failed to chart.
In April 1973, Suzee released her first single on the Motown label, a ballad written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbell called, "Time For Me to Go." Unfortunately, the single and her solo career went nowhere.
During her tenure at Motown she was described as a "creative confidant" of Michael Jackson. “Michael Jackson could make you forget he was so young,” writes Suzee Ikeda, in her introductory essay to Hello World: The Complete Motown Solo Collection.[1]
Ikeda's rapport with artists, soon led to a new role behind the scenes as a production executive for the company. One of her early projects was the A song for you album by The Temptations, released in 1975.
