this version has a very slight latin feel .... brilliant and I love it. but I have to say Rolls Royce ... has its original by a whisker IMHO. x p.s much older than you as you may guess.
You’re right Teena always had a Latin soul vibe going on in her songs it’s beautiful it’s because she was immersed in Latin, black creole etc multi culture from a young age.
My first time hearing this was in 5th grade when I heard it on New York Undercover. It was one of the first times a song actually brought me to a stop and got me to just wanting to hear the song without caring about what was happening in the show.
Just saw a rerun of that episode of New York Undercover on BET & heard that voice singing that song at the end. I said that sounds like Tina Marie. And then I ran back to the TV and it was her! Man, I forgot had bad Tina Marie was back in the day. She got pipes!! And don't get me talking about the duet she did with Rick James in Fire & Desire. OMG, I can listen to that song over & over again!
Damn this women could sing... I actually like her version more then the original.. The picture of Teena Marie was always my favorite. It was the Irons In The Fire which had her awesome song I Need Your Lovin on it.. Miss her like crazy... Teena should have been a household name.. Great talent for sure...
@@solja625 I felt the exact same way, was so shocked and saddened that Teena Marie had died, and my heart also broke for her precious daughter, Alia Rose. There are--and have been--so MANY fantastic, incredible singers, BUT for me, Teena Marie is at the top!! And I was planning to go to a memorial concert being held in her honor, in 2011, but developed an infection in my knee replacement in April, 2011, and had to be hospitalized for another surgery at that time. I was SO DISAPPOINTED, had really looked forward to witnessing the songs and memories, by people like Keith Sweat, and so many others. Teena Marie was a treasure, a unique gem, that cannot be replicated; but she will live on forever in her beloved music. GOD BLESS, Teena Marie🙏🏽💞
The best of the best female soulful singer RIP Teena Marie Your music will live forever in my book. Thank u for sharing this music video of Teena Marie. ❤️🌹🕯️
OMG Mister B .I agree with you all the way 💯👌 Her beautiful vocal just moves one's soul in the right direction 💃💃💃💞💞The lyrics that yank ur heartstrings for decades 💕💕💕Do U Agree??? I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style 💯👌 The lyrics that yank ur heartstrings for decades 💖💖💖 Still listening how about March 08 2022 RIP TEENA MARIE U WILL NEVER BE 4GOTTEN 🙏🙏🙏
Teena Marie was known as the Ivory Queen of Soul and is one the first female rappers as evidenced on her song Square Biz. She wrote, performed, arranged and produced all of her own material on her 13 albums. She recorded for Motown, Epic, and Cash Money records. She began her career with Rick James, and over the years she has recorded with Smokey Robinson, Gerald Levert, Lenny Kravitz, Snoop Dogg, Howard Hewitt, Patrice Rushen, Faith Evans, and Kurupt among other artists. Lovergirl was a huge hit on the R&B and pop charts. Teena whose nickname was Lady T, is deeply integrated into black music, she is highly respected by the black community. If you mention the name Teena Marie to any black person they will know her music instantly because she is that much a part of black music and culture.
I have been a huge Tina Marie fan since the early 80s I saw her in 1983 @ the Ventura theater I and saw her @ the Gibson Universal theater with Rick James two weeks before he past they opened up the concert singing fire and desire. She was one of the best female singers of all time and if you dont agree remember she worked with rick james Bitch!!!!
OMG My Condolences,Your mother is definitely up in heaven with the angels. Both my parents is there also🙏😇 Gail Memories which will always be in our hearts 4EVER!!!! I'm soooooo happy I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style the lyrics that yanked ur heartstrings for decades ❤️❤️ Do U Agree???What a MASTERPIECE!!!!! Gail I will always cherished this beautiful classic as long as live can't have it no other way AMEN!!!! Still listening how about October 13 2022
Oh, the world is a less wonderful place without her angelic voice.. listening to her alters my conciousness and makes pure emotions bubble up from my soul..
I remember the day my brother brought her home in a pair of overalls. She had a flower in her long flowing hair and it was just magical. She went on to get a contract with Motown and my cousin is married to Terry Barry’s Son for over 34 years now and she sang Ave Maria at the Catholic Church a cappella and my goodness it just resonated it was like 1 million angels such a wonderful and beautiful person rest in perfect peace
Teena Marie Lady T.(Tee) did a nice job with her rendition. Soulful and Loving for her time. Great track. Became aware of her version from listening to another artist's cover of the same song. While we know Rose Royce original composition was hands down the best. This is also well done.
Wow, I had no idea that Tina covered this song ! I always love this song first heard it rollerskating back in the early 1980s on the DJ would call out” we’re going to slow it down for a couple skates and couple skate only “ . And then the bright lights with them and it became a nice couple skate song. Nice memories.😊 oh and by the way, she could really built out of serious square Biz when it’s time to let’s get everybody back on the floor for all skate, all skate in the regular skating direction !!!!! 😀😀😀😀
Never could understand when I was younger why I named all my dolls Teena Marie. She had the best voice and yet I was too young to know who she was until my adult years, yet all my dolls' names were again Teena Marie. She will be missed and her voice never gets old.
I started listening to Sarah Vaughan in the late 90s it's incredible for me to listen to this and see that Teena Marie it's actually channeling Sarah Vaughan in this song I've listened to several times and I thought she was singing flat in 20 why she's singing like that an early age she is actually channeling Sarah Vaughan this woman is incredible
🙏🙏🙏🌎 Since day one. Thank God for the kingdom. Isaiah 9:6. Thank God I will always honor my marriage and family. Isaiah 54. The most powerful connection 🙌
My late wife and I danced to this song when we met 1984 in a back yard party in East Los Angeles ca.throughout the years we danced to it in our living room.she passed 5 years ago so I play it on her grave site my grandkids and I listen to this great song all the time thinking of her I miss her so very much.wishing on a star get down baby girl sing it for me and her
Thank you for this video. Tina Marie still stands in my view as one of the four or five greatest female vocalists in the history of popular music. One could argue that she was the greatest but that would be an entirely personal, totally subjective claim. Clarity, precision, accuracy, power, pitch control, breath control, technical excellence, aesthetic excellence, emotional impact: Tina Marie had it all. R.I.P., Lady T.
Lady Tee RIP 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ she also performed this song in the series New York Undercover back in 1994 its like a hidden gem her voice is how i can explain & sing my love to a real lady with class
Voice, piano, heart, soul (gone to heaven, bless her), and all poured out in music. Such a gift I could never forget nor fail to feel a love in myself and her in the same moment that has lasted over forty years. Words cannot express the gratitude she deserves from everyone who knows the value of what she gave us and how we have been humbled by her love and talent (ability) to communicate her thoughts so beautifully. Love ya, my brown sugar covered in snow. I so wish I could make your castle smile again.
this is the first time I hear this version of wishing on a Star by Tina Marie I'm in love with it I danced to the song when I was a teenager or brings good memories to the heart those were the good old days
🌎🙏🙏🙏 Thank God I have overcome the world. I will always honor my marriage and family. I will always keep your family in prayer. Thank God I am healthy back home with my family. I will always honor my marriage and family.
@@bigcheese15able No she had a tragic accident where a picture fell off the wall on to her head in a hotel room, and she was never the same again. suffered from enormous pain theteafter poor woman she was an enigma.
IMO one of the greatest vocalists of all time.... Her range was simply incredible!
I agree 💯 with you!

She wasn't the first one nor the last nor the last one to do this song. But she was the best. Gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
guy smith true i agree
guy smith i like Rose Royce version better.👌
Rose-Royce is the best person to do this song
You need to have your hearing checked.
Point blank
This is from the unreleased black rain album era. Her voice stayed intact from the beginning to the end. She took amazing care of her gift.
It needs to be released!! The first time I heard this I listened to it maybe 20xs in a row
My first time hearing this was in 5th grade when I heard it on New York Undercover. It was one of the first times a song actually brought me to a stop and got me to just wanting to hear the song without caring about what was happening in the show.

I fell in love with her voice when I first heard her sing wishing on a star in the tv series New York Undercover.

so far away from home
so far away from me...."
I actually feel the emotion in her voice - it goes right through me in ways I can't explain
I miss this lady!!!! she was baaaaaaaddddd
Mannnnn I never knew she covered this classic!! One of the very best singers ever RIH Teena ❤
This song makes me feel a deep sadness for the loss of Tina Marie. It is a beautiful example of her exemplary talent.
One of my favorite artists! Rip Teena!

Hands down the greatest female artist ever! Can someone please tell me if you know of any other female rappers in 1979??? Square Biz!
LOL right
I agree, she was way ahead of her time..
I can't argue with that! Square square biz.
Sequence were the first female rappers of '79.
Shannan Coleman She was SO ahead or her time, and her voice! She sounds like a Angel. She did with her voice what others could only dream of.
