Fun fact: when my mom was pregnant with me she met Teena and Rick. Teena told my mom I was going to be a girl and sure enough I was. That’s my biggest flex (:
Teena had one of the cleanest most beautiful, soprano voices on the planet! And this is way before Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion, long before we had Teena!!
@@shaalexis4221 No, Michael Bolton could sing but primarily made music for white people. Teena was "for us by us" she made purely R&B music that was palatable to Black audiences. An she was an amazing artist to say the least.
@@Zanaaa50I agree with most of what you said. But I think that most true "artists" don't make music for white or black people strictly! It's typically record labels/execs, radio stations, and the listening public, that tend to establish the target audience for a performer...whether it is R&B or Pop mainstream. But as you said, Ms Teena Marie was definitely a super talented "SOUL SANGER" who touched our hearts. RIP TO MUSICAL SOULMATES TEENA "LADY T" & RICK JAMES💐💖💝WHO LEFT US WITH MASTERPIECES TO ENJOY.
There's been some that came before her. The originals were actual The Righteous Brothers in the 60s I believe, but Teena Marie is one of the first people think of Blue Eyed Soul which shows how great she was...
Yes, I absolutely concur! Her whole catalog is 🔥🔥🔥 She is classic soul music royalty. She checks all the boxes because not only did she give great vocals, she wrote, arranged, produced, and played multiple instruments. In fact, minus her solo debut and its followup, she produced the rest of her albums thereafter. Her passing has left a void in music that can never be replaced. Her presence and talent is truly missed and may this "Starchild" continue to rest in heaven🌹❤
Little know fact: Tina recorded this while she was suffering with the flu. She came down with the flu the day they were supposed to record it. For some reason Rick couldn't postpone the session and was going to replace her. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, she came and recorded her vocals.
Teena also did her parts in one take with a fever. Rick was gon replace her, but Teena wasn’t having it. She did the song then was driven to the hospital after the session.
Ohh yesss!!!!! I’ve been waiting on this!!! I bet Teena Marie blew you away!!! I would love for you to react to Teena Marie’s songs like “Square Biz”, “Portuguese Love” “I need your lovin” “Lovergirl”, “Yes Indeed”, “Deja Vu” and more!!! She was the Ivory Queen of Soul and she had the largest African American fan base out of any blue eyed singer!!! She didn’t cross over to Pop and she wasn’t very famous because of that. She stayed true to her music and to who she was!!! Rick James was the one who discovered her and because of that, she was signed to Motown!!
Right. Somebody obviously dead inside. There’s always one dislike on Jack’s page at the very beginning of his post. I’m beginning to believe it’s the same hater!
Casanova Brown Irons in the Fire Out on a Limb We’ve Gotta Stop (Meeting Up Like This) Dear Lover My mother played the entire catalogue cleaning up the house every Saturday
Teena Marie opened up the door for so many artists like jojo, P!nk (first album), Tory Kelly for example she broke the door down for white singers with super soulful voices..... Rick James and Teena Marie are legendary!!
I hope no one ever remakes "Cassanova Brown". I don't even want to hear a cover. The original is a ruby gem. Reminds me of one of those classic 20s pin-up/gentlemen movies. I never understood them when I was younger but I may get back into them and grasp the essence.
I grew up with 70's and 80'music and Teena Marie is my favorite female singer of all-time. She was a 100% R&B singer with really only one cross-over hit, "Lover Girl". Her funk tune Square Biz is iconic and "If I were a Bell" is one of my favorite slow songs from her. Teena appeared on Soul Train 6 or 7 times, being the only white artist to appear more than once.
There’s an episode of The Martin Lawrence show when Martin and Gina does a duet to this song. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of that episode. So hilarious. 😂 ruclips.net/video/RJhfat_I3P0/видео.html
Jack, your reaction @ 7:15 was p r i c e l e s s! Teena Marie is a superb vocalist! I can go down the list of classic. Only name a few. 1. Out on a limb 2. Lovergirl 3. If I were a bell
Who disliked this video you ask? A fool, that dislikes his own existence.. Or maybe he was hanging his head upside down from their bed and they saw thumbs up?
This is a classic! One of the best soul/r&b songs ever made by two of the most talented vocalist ever. This song is untouchable, no one could come close to producing something as great as this record in modern music. React to more Teena Marie she has endless classics like Lover Girl, Ooh La La La, Deja Vu, Out on a Limb, and more. I knew this one would blow your socks off.
yeah Rick did it all young man! After the funk you need funky if you know what i mean! he laid it down. Sultry and sassy. and Teena OMG Blue eyed soul.
Jack, you'll have to acquaint yourself with Teens Marie's "Portuguese Love" and/or "Deja Vu". From a melodic, songwriting and singing point of view they're Outstanding
Grew up on this music. Welcome young man welcome. Your reaction is priceless to both verses. Rick James was a Musical genius who wrote, arranged & produced songs for many artists. Listen to this song of his when you get a chance "Happy"...imo it should've been a classic as well.
And the fact that she is white, although she’s really Portuguese best singing ever yes and I have all of her songs all of her albums. She inspires me she’s up there with. Minnie Rippleton I have all of her songs all of her albums.
Ok Jack, so when I read the title I said to myself let me get comfortable because I'm about to see a show. And I have too say Jack, you did not disappoint. I knew you didn't know what you were about to get into, and your reactions absolutely made my night. Lol. I'm probably go watch it again after I finish posting just to get another good laugh. Lol. FYI, this is a true classic that's still in my playlist to this day. And if you like Rick's vocals on this Jack, check out " Ebony Eyes ". A song he did with Smokey Robinson. Guaranteed you will love that one too. Stay blessed Jack.
Hands down, this is THE BEST reaction I have ever seen. No joke. I am literally spitting on myself laughing. I didn't think you were gonna make it through.
This is a soul R&B masterpiece and your reaction to it is classic! Never released as a single, “Fire and Desire” album cut was probably the most played R&B radio hit of 1981. They sang this song live together shortly before he died and it too was a classic performance. It was on I believe the Soul Train award show, where Rick James famously had to remind a door keeper backstage that he was “Rick James Bit**!” Teena was one of soul music unsung premier vocalist. You should hear and react to her classic Motown album cut “Deja Vous - I’ve Been Here Before” and her No 1 RB hit “Ooo La La La” as well as “If I Were A Bell,” to really understand how great she was. I heard rumor her parents were from Brazil which means she probably had African blood somewhere in her veins. But whether she had or not, she was one of the greatest White Soul singers of all time. R.I.P - Teena Marie.
You should react to their BET performance of this song. They were both old and drunk and maybe high but it was iconic. You should also react to Square Biz by Teena.
Rick for sure, Teena got addicted to pain pills. I hated they both died of addictions. Rick was a tormented soul. Their voices reign supreme whether on this duet or a solo! I forever love them both. Rest in Heaven, Soul birds.
A music match made in heaven!! Teena Marie is a real example of not judging a book by the cover! She had a truly soulful voice. Go listen to " Out on a Limb" and of course all her funk stuff like "Square Biz".
8:44 that snort 😆 Teena and James were a POWER HOUSE together! Both so gifted and talented. This is hands down my fav reaction! I hope you do more by Lady T soon.
One of the best duets ever. Teena Marie's "Out On A Limb" is my favorite song of hers. That woman was an amazing singer & that song gets me every time I hear it.
Its good to see these kids reacting to music we grew up on because living in the 80s and 90s was great music plus we always had our family and folks put us on game with the 70s and 60s
This was one of those songs I was waiting for you to react to and you didn’t disappoint. This has to be a top 5 reaction from you. You gotta create a playlist of your top 5 or 10 most animated reactions and include this. This was definitely one of the most requested songs because people were asking for this regardless of the song you were reacting to. Salute.
This is probably one of the best reaction videos I've ever seen. It was so nice to see someone coming in blind having never heard of Teena Marie before and seeing the pure reaction of her first few notes was so enjoyable to watch.
I’m ecstatic that you’ve got to experience the great Ms Teena Marie’s’ vocals. She’s in my top 5 female voices of all time (along with Mariah Carey, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, and Etta James). You have to react to her songs: Portuguese In Love, Deja Vu, Out On A Limb, Oh La La La, If I Were A Bell, Square Biz, Now That I Have You, Can You Call A Rose By Any Other Name feat Gerald Levert Man she has so many gems....you just have to get in her music in general.
Teena is so underrated being a Singer, Multi Instrumentalist, Songwriter, Producer, The "The Brockert Initiative", which made it illegal for a record company to keep an artist under contract without releasing new material for that artist. The Female Prince of her Time
I keep saying "wait til Teena comes in. He's gonna lose his mind".
Yep!
Same! Teena takes it to a different place
@@taliaaalia5175 100%
Yessss!!!
And DID! Haha
The whole time Jack is reacting and loving Ricks part i’m saying to myself he has NO IDEA what’s about to happen🤣🤣🤣
Yes indeed
I was saying the same thing. His reaction was exactly what I knew it was gonna be. He gonna be in a Teena rabbit hole now...
Facts!! 😂😂
ditto!
Right?! Wait for it...🧨💣🔥🔥🔥
RIP Rick James and Lady T 😢
Such a loss with the 2 of them gone, the music lives on forever.
Vanilla Child ❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: when my mom was pregnant with me she met Teena and Rick. Teena told my mom I was going to be a girl and sure enough I was. That’s my biggest flex (:
wow lucky u!:)
That's a solid flex!
@ Kelcey Murray Yes
Wow, such a great story - thanks for sharing ❤️
😁👶🏾❤ Sweet story
Teena had one of the cleanest most beautiful, soprano voices on the planet! And this is way before Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion, long before we had Teena!!
Teena Marie is in the category of "Blue Eyed Soul" singers: white singers who have soul
Her title is The Ivory Queen of Soul...
Right along with Michael Bolton

Teena was a treasure. A powerhouse. A gift. She is dearly missed. Gone too soon. 😢
People get caught up in Rick’s wild side, but he was an incredibly talented songwriter and singer. Great pick! 💕
Yesss
Yes rip Rick James
He was freaky tho
@@pthesmith Yes he was. I love You and I. That beat is fire
YES. I love Rick, so talented and missed badly! No one on the radio sounds like this. Oozing with SOUL.
Greatest Duet song of all time hands down 😭
Lady Tee, the original "blue-eyed soul singer" was a beast vocally! She was in a class of her own (at least in my opinion).
FACTS!! 💯
There's been some that came before her. The originals were actual The Righteous Brothers in the 60s I believe, but Teena Marie is one of the first people think of Blue Eyed Soul which shows how great she was...
Facts for real...
There is no one like her - Boots Mariah AND Celine... Will never compare her to Patty though
Janis Joplin is arguably blue-eyed soul. There are an early few!
Get into Teena Marie. This song is a forever classic.
Yes, I absolutely concur! Her whole catalog is 🔥🔥🔥 She is classic soul music royalty. She checks all the boxes because not only did she give great vocals, she wrote, arranged, produced, and played multiple instruments. In fact, minus her solo debut and its followup, she produced the rest of her albums thereafter. Her passing has left a void in music that can never be replaced.

I live her song Midnight Magnet
Little know fact: Tina recorded this while she was suffering with the flu. She came down with the flu the day they were supposed to record it. For some reason Rick couldn't postpone the session and was going to replace her. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, she came and recorded her vocals.
For real!!! Wow!!!
Wish this was the pinned comment💯💯💯
dam that's passion. she truly loved Rick I hear all the chemistry ❤️
Supernatural talent
Yep, she even had a fever.
TEENA MARIE!!! Such an underrated queen. React to more songs by her!
I wouldn’t say she is underrated... maybe by this generation tho🤷🏽♀️
@@JackReacts904 Ebony Eyes - Rick James and Smokey Robinson
Yes definitely this generation! She deserves so much more recognition.
@@JackReacts904 Every Drop Of Your Love by Stacy Lattisaw
@@JackReacts904 Square Biz by Teena is FIRE !
When Jack was sipping that water I was thinking I hope he's not sipping that water when Tina starts singing. He will choke on it.
I was thinking that same thing Debra!
Teena Marie “Portuguese Love”...that’s it! That’s the comment.
My fav Teena Marie song ever. EVER!
yesss !! he so needs to react to that song. an absolute masterpiece.
Amore, amore portuguese
Plus Rick and Teena had a tumultuous relationship going on while they were singing this. Classic.
I dropped my phone ! Who requested this cause you have tasteeee 😭😭
A lot of us did, I knew Lady T would blow his mind! 🔥🔥
ALL OF US😚
Yes, Jack! Teena Marie was invited to ALL the BBQs! Her voice was incredible! Listen to Square Biz and Lover Girl. I still bump her music every day.
Teena Marie was a REAL woman. Her voice does something to me man.
It is CLASSIC R&B!
And coming from the king of punk funk no less
I've said this before but Rick James, Michael Jackson, and Prince were turning out hits in the early 80's.
Facts
SO TRUEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jack..do "Out On A Limb" by Teena Marie next. This was but a taste of her gifts. That song is a whole meal.
Exactly
Yesssssssss
Can he handle it?!🤣🤣🤣
@@shelbyscoggins2451 Yeahhh..he ready !!!
@@kimme2852 lol, chiiiiile, you may be right!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Yup... I said wait until Teena Marie get on the track. Snatched ur hairline back lol
Lol
Did you know Teena recorded her vocals in one take and after that she left to go to the hospital I think for a fever I’m guessing
Yep. She had a 103 while recording this.
Geeze!
OMG didn't no that
I like how you a young man gives respect to the music from the past.
Rick James is many things. For sure a gifted musician and songwriter. Teena Marie is an underrated magical singer.
Her name is Teena.
@@yousexymf feel better now that you've corrected me?
@@shannongibb1350 Why would you say that? You spelled her name wrong and I just pointed it out. No shade just a statement damn. It's not that deep
@@yousexymf then why correct me? It was an oversight on my part.
@@shannongibb1350 You act like I knew that. There are a lot of people that don't know the correct spelling. Just check the comments
Teena also did her parts in one take with a fever. Rick was gon replace her, but Teena wasn’t having it. She did the song then was driven to the hospital after the session.
Wow... That's crazy.
So professional!
Teena Marie had SOUL in her voice! No vocal coach on this earth can teach that! You either have IT or you don't.
Ohh yesss!!!!! I’ve been waiting on this!!! I bet Teena Marie blew you away!!! I would love for you to react to Teena Marie’s songs like “Square Biz”, “Portuguese Love” “I need your lovin” “Lovergirl”, “Yes Indeed”, “Deja Vu” and more!!!

Portuguese love!
I would add Tune In Tomorrow and Sunny Skies to the list hun!
"Dear Lover" is one of my favorites!
Def. "Deja Vu"
Yes she got her nickname from Barry Gordon of Motown
Bc she had so much soul
Tears in my eyes remembering the days gone by. Laying it down, Wow where has the time gone I'm 60 now.
Jack enjoy your youth it goes quickly.
chile! i just hit 60 yesterday, and i feel you! adulting and aging are not for wimps.
This is my favorite duet of all time!

OMG. That initial reaction. Priceless. LOL. Put your stank face on and get ready for Teena.
I see “Jack Reacts “ and instantly click. Lol
Same!
Okay 👌🏽... same!
“she still going” 😂 yeah it’s nonstop after Ms. Teena.
It always amazes me that people as young as he can appreciate songs Like this.
Teena Marie opened up the door for so many artists like jojo, P!nk (first album), Tory Kelly for example she broke the door down for white singers with super soulful voices..... Rick James and Teena Marie are legendary!!
Oh and Teena Marie is a legend. Cassanova Brown, Square Biz, Portugese Lover. Check those out
Casanova Brown👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes Casanova A Great Song That Was Slept On
I hope no one ever remakes "Cassanova Brown". I don't even want to hear a cover. The original is a ruby gem. Reminds me of one of those classic 20s pin-up/gentlemen movies. I never understood them when I was younger but I may get back into them and grasp the essence.
Love it when he says THIS IS RIDICULOUS....Teena WOW!!!
Told ya!! Teena Marie slays! You neeed to check portuguese love. This is artistry!
Yes! Ooh that's my song!!!
He is a Soul singer, like most black artists they sing from the soul
Rick James worked with Eddie Murphy for Eddie's song Party all the Time, I think you'd have a great time reacting to that one!
I grew up with 70's and 80'music and Teena Marie is my favorite female singer of all-time. She was a 100% R&B singer with really only one cross-over hit, "Lover Girl".

Never be another TINA MARIE!!!!! It must be magic!!
This is one of my favorite songs and Teena Marie was one of the best R&B singers ever.
There’s an episode of The Martin Lawrence show when Martin and Gina does a duet to this song. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of that episode. So hilarious. 😂

Yess martin and gina killed that duet
Yep my fav Martin scene😊
I love that episode!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this one. A masterpiece. When Teena comes in the song goes to a different place. Best of all time
Jack, your reaction @ 7:15 was p r i c e l e s s! Teena Marie is a superb vocalist! I can go down the list of classic. Only name a few.
1. Out on a limb
2. Lovergirl
3. If I were a bell
Thank you for mentioning #3 If I Were a Bell #beautiful
@@OLatreil I listened to it soon after. That would be nice for Jack's solo reaction to be "if I were a bell".
React to Rick James & Smokey Robinson-“ebony eyes”.

Y E S!!!!!!!!!
I agree 💯 One of the best, yet underrated songs!
You are an old soul it makes me smile to see someone your age enjoying music like this and really getting into it
It was Jack playing double dutch with the air when Teena was singing for me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jack...I did the same thing when I heard her for the first time!!! SAME!!!
Now this a classic🔥🔥🔥my parents love this song
Rick James- Give it to me baby, super freak, mary Jane.
She's the first (and only?) white artist to have a majority Black fan base.
Hmmm. I know KC & the Sunshine Band and Average White Band had a large Black following too🤔🤔
@@jasminehill6312 Large? maybe. Majority? No.
Teena Marie grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood so she was raised in everything Soul.
Who disliked this video you ask?
A fool, that dislikes his own existence..
Or maybe he was hanging his head upside down from their bed and they saw thumbs up?
Whoo! I got full body chills listening to this! Great reaction Jack!
Jack...Teena was a treasure to the black community....dig into her music.....you wont be disappointed!!
This is a classic! One of the best soul/r&b songs ever made by two of the most talented vocalist ever. This song is untouchable, no one could come close to producing something as great as this record in modern music. React to more Teena Marie she has endless classics like Lover Girl, Ooh La La La, Deja Vu, Out on a Limb, and more. I knew this one would blow your socks off.
She recorded it in one set, plus she was sick and she sound that good……
Nobody can touch Teena Marie. Her voice is mind-blowing. Period.
yeah Rick did it all young man! After the funk you need funky if you know what i mean! he laid it down.
Sultry and sassy. and Teena OMG Blue eyed soul.
Yes Jack, this is an all time classic. Teena Marie was definitely the truth. Blue-eyed soul at its finest!
Name this generation duo this is talent no gimmicks straight talent when music was music
Jack, you'll have to acquaint yourself with Teens Marie's "Portuguese Love" and/or "Deja Vu". From a melodic, songwriting and singing point of view they're Outstanding
Bless Jacks heart. Yes! Feeeel it! This is what soul music feels like. Welcome to music; a refuge from the world outside.🙏🏾
Grew up on this music. Welcome young man welcome. Your reaction is priceless to both verses. Rick James was a Musical genius who wrote, arranged & produced songs for many artists. Listen to this song of his when you get a chance "Happy"...imo it should've been a classic as well.

Rick discovered Teena’s talent. If you wanna hear more of her rips and high notes, have to check out “Ooh La La La”
You should react to their BET performance of this song. They were both old and drunk and maybe high but it was iconic. You should also react to Square Biz by Teena.
Lol! "Old and drunk" but that is the truth...They both showed out!!!😁😁😁
And the crowd still loved it...
Tina sounded incredible as usual! Rick wasn't drunk! He had a stroke& that is why he sounded that way...she covered for him with her vocals!!!
