Susaye's career started at an early age with babyfood commercials. While growing up in New York City as a teenager, she continued to do commercials and attended Professional Children's School. Later, she teamed up with Harry Belafonte and recorded his "Streets I Have Walked" album, and did several T.V. appearances with him. Susaye majored in drama at the High School of Performing Arts, made famous by the hit movie "Fame". While still very young, she travelled with musical genius Ray Charles, as a featured vocalist, and recorded as the original lead singer with New Birth, fronting their first million seller, "Until It's Time For You To Go", which still has a strong r&b and hip hop following today.
Susaye joined Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove, and began a long ongoing writing association with him. Together, they penned many tunes, including "I Can't Help It", which appeared on Michael Jackson's hit album "Off The Wall", which has been covered and sampled numerous times, as De La Sol's hit "Breakadawn", as Portrait's "Here We Go Again" which received a B.M.L Pop award for being one of the most performed songs of the year, and on Mary J.Blige's album, as "Sexy", and "All That I Can Say", as well as the rapper Fabolous" hit "Baby". Susaye co-wrote Deneice William's first million seller "Free", which has been recorded many times, as recently by Atlantic's Debelab Morgan, as "It's Real", by D.J. MIC Geronimo, and by Ice Cube as "The Freshest M.C. In The World" and LiL Kim.
Susaye was the last member of the Supremes, signed to Motown Records, with Mary Wilson and Scherrie Payne, travelling the world, doing live performances, major television shows and press events; she recorded the last two Supreme albums"High Energy" and "Mary Scherrie and Susaye". This group of Supremes became known as the most musical of all combinations of Supremes, scoring their last charted hit "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking." Susaye and Scherrie recorded an album, "Partners" on which they co-produced, arranged and wrote all the songs.
Bryant McGill's comments, "I am filled with deep gratitude that my friend Susaye has joined us, but I am not surprised. Susaye and I share a special connection of the soul. I have seen in Susaye a beautiful and radiant woman, who deeply loves life, and who through her immense heart relishes in the creation of beauty. Susaye has a special dignity and comportment about her person that lets you know you are in the presence of a kind and wise master."
"Susaye Green has been around in this old world, and yet still believes peace is worth considering. She has seen it all, but has not been sullied by the dark cynicism's in the world. She is still like a little child who knows kindness is good. Will you please lay down your cynicisms with me and Susaye, and gently surrender to indomitable powers of faith and compassion? A new world awaits us."
