Bad Ass White Girl with all respect that damn voice OMG was priceless a legend we will miss damn get it Ms. Teena! My mother has always loved lovergirl
I remember that 1994 Fire & Desire performance: it was like watching your favorite drunk uncle and his ex-wife come to the family reunion and turn it OUT, lol! It was such an iconic moment, Teena Marie was like family - with music that underscored your life if you were an R&B lover in the 70s and 80s.
I fell in love with Teena in the early 80' I was shocked to see the cover of album and that she was white. She became my favorite R&B singer. Thank you Ivory Queen and multi talented Lady T for all the great music you left us with. There will never be another like you😥💝RIP 💝
Soul has no color; its something deep inside you that I believe everybody has but some just don't go deep enough to unlock it. When I first heard her back in the 80s , it was on the radio & it was a beautiful ballad called " Young Love". I didn't know think or care what her nationality was , I just knew that she had the sound I was looking for & I ran out & bought the album becuz of that song. I don't usually go for female musicians unless they have that " something" & she had that " something "
What an idiotic thing to say, so then I say black people cant play classical because it’s refined and sophisticated. Sounds stupid right because it is stupid. She sings soul and she’s white. Just quit with the racist bullshit please, it’s old and tired, tons of black people are beautiful and talented and guess what white and brown people are beautiful and talented too grow up and do better. With that said I hope you have an amazing day and make someone smile, let’s change this racist way and love each other instead. Much love to you and yours. Ps: I bet we’d be friends if we met in a different situation we do share great taste in music. 😉 listen to chris Stapleton he can sing some blues.
@@marieeiram7061 Jesus Christ..you need to relax,you snuffed out the entire vibe.YOU are the one who seems preoccupied with racism...The man was only conveying his experience discovering her.He also alluded to the fact that HE does not prefer female musicians.The frequency in which he is picking up should not offend you anymore than him saying his favorite color is blue for example. God help your husband..ahem...I mean partner.oops....significant other???? Sorry ....trying to be sensitive
@@76shogun1 don’t tell me what is offensive to me and what’s not. Do something more productive with your time. I also feel sorry for you and your family, you seem lonely and bored. 🤗
@@marieeiram7061 The line between black and white is blurred when it comes to music. Many, many soul and country classics prove that. Whitney Houston with I'll always love you, Gladys Knight and the Pips with Neither One of Us, Al Green with For the Good times and on and on and on. That being said, only a black singer can sing like a black singer. A white singer can only sing like a white singer. And that's where the differentiation lies. Blacks will always be the supreme soul singers. No amount of debate or righteous indignation can change that fact.
I’m 16 almost 17 and I have loved old R&B/SOUL SONGS EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE and I still do I listen to some POP BUT MOST OF IT AND 98% of the time It’s R&B/SOUL
Gerri Petress Wow.. Teena was definitely R&B for sure.. She didn't cross over to pop very often. Her hit song Lovergirl hit #4 on the pop charts and I Need Your Lovin hit #37 on the pop charts. The rest of her songs pretty much always hit the top 10 on the R&B charts. And she has a thing for jazz as well. Look up Casanova Brown and Sunny Skies.. The women has a unique voice.. Miss her so much...
I really wish JoJo could have worked with Teena Marie. Thank GOD JoJo is doing well now, but Teena could have really given her the ins and outs of the business. R.I.P. Teena, gone too soon.
I got a chance to tena back in the early 80 at the fox theater in ATL What a dynamic performer. No one was able to sit in their seat. Me and my sister in law had front row seats. Couldn't get any better than that. I got a chance to sing one of her hit later on at the royal peacock on auburn ave called out on a limb. She has been and will alway be one of my favorite singer Rip my ivory queen of soul
Doesn’t any one realize this woman is Portuguese. If you know any Portuguese person then you don’t need to wonder about SOUL and one more thing she like all Portuguese people are not white. Hispanic maybe and fact check it if you want North African DNA.
Portugal is in Europe, and they are white. She was born in California making her American , and she also has Irish, French ancestry. Get an education please.
Bro and Sis if you are reading this. Teena Marie was an unstoppable hit machine of talent in a tiny frame. Check her out on Beverly Hillbilly's. Destiny
At the time in the 80's Teena Marie sounded like she was a black artist. Madonna's Holiday was played on R&B radio stations. Just commericaled different. Teena really was deciciated to being Teena Marie
...Just One Of My Mom's Favorite Icon Of Music!!! Damn she Was BEEEEEAUTIFUL!!! Inside and Out! She makes....v-nasty, danielle bregoli aks cash me outside......all these white females who get on Black Wax look like sh*t from the bottom of trash cans...Yeah! That Beautiful!! Hell these prissy white heifers like......adel, katy perry, lady gaga, britney spears, demi lovato, jessica simpson, kelly clarkson, and many others....COULDN'T TOUCH QUEEN LADY T if they wanted to. Because the pure supersound of blackness literally DISTURBS the ears of the abovementioned.
Drug use destroyed Rick's body & Gerard was overweight & had heart problems his entire life. Wo what are you implying jr Stz? Are you 12 years old or now nothing about these musicians? RIP Rick & Gerard & Teena Maire
What are you talking about she was born in California making her American. Portugal is in Europe, and they are white people. she has Irish, French ancestry as well. Get an education.
"It had never dawned on me that she was... white" had me seriously perplexed (how could she not notice?) until I remembered many years ago my (white) sister calling me up and telling me she was dating a basketball player named Rick Fox, and asking me if he was really black, since he's from the Bahamas. (Like, he's a black guy but he's from the Bahamas, so is he still black? She was trying to figure out how bad our parents would freak out if she brought him home for a visit. Which never happened, probably because though my little sis was cute, Rick Fox was a little out of her league :D)
She was not black but her soul was, the music she created was with and for black people. Her audience was pretty much black people. And this was a time before The Culture Vulture. There's even a law created and named after her which makes it illegal for labels to released music without the artists artist's permission (which definitely gave fairness to black artists)
No one looked like her that sang like that ? That's not true you have Michael Mcdonald , Bobby Caldwell, George Michael's, Steve Perry who was influenced by Sam Cooke, Justin Timberlake, JANIS JOPLIN, Lisa Stansfield, Kenny Roger's..I can keep going its not about skin color it's about YOU
She wasn't that successful though. her net worth was only 3 million. She was very talented as a singer and her songwriting was right out the Rick James playbook. Rest in peace Lady T
I read that as well that she was only worth 3 million. I was thinking with all her hits and a lot of them she wrote and produced. But keep in mind Motown screwed her over on royalties etc. Single mom sent her daughter to college and put a roof (She owned a nice house) over her daughter's head.. She also took care of her elderly mom who was in her 80's. So I believe Teena was generous with her money.. Then in 1994 she had her own label and put out a cd called Passion Play. Needless to say it didn't sell at all. That cost her a lot of money as well. Either way she should've been huge and rich.. RIP Lady T..

Teena Marie was not a white girl he was of Portuguese she was my cousin and that's why she sang Portuguese in love

dat turtle neck doe lmao
Oh so cancel culture didn't say a word about Tina Marie, Micheal McDonald or Jon B...so cancel culture...sit down!

STFU, what you got???? Nothing!
Yes it sucks her music was not appreciated like it should bave been. She is one hell of an artists and not many are on her level.
The Bible says Jesus chirst Died For our sins On the cross Jesus christ
Took our penalty for sin
The Bible says the wages of sins is death Roman's but the gifts of God is eternal life though Jesus
Jesus christ died For our transgression He bore.our sins Jesus suffered For our sins
The Bible says in first John 3 16
For God so loved the world 🌎 ❤️ that he sent his only begotten son That who so ever believes in him should not perish But have ever lasting life
The Bible warns that the wicked will not see life or eternal kingdom of heaven
Where are you going to spend eternity Without excepting Jesus christ for your lord and personal savior Jesus is the only way to eternal life
Life is not promising for the ungodly
The Bible says we have broken God laws and commandments
Jesus christ gives us the gift 🎁 of eternal life
If you believe in your heart god raesd Jesus from the dead U will be saved
