+Walid Aladssani - Chaka Khan used to sound good when she was younger, but she let drug addiction ruin her career. Her voice sounds terrible these days and she always looks/acts like she's high on something on stage. It's really sad to see so many talented artists let their careers/lives be taken over by addictions.
See how nice her clothes look? No wild , Halloween face makeup like so many now, and this is their everyday look! With wild, wind blown hair, on purpose.
Teena actually is real sweet. I meet her 3xs she let all her fans form a line and one by one we all went on her tour bus she signed pictures, cd's etc. Not too many singers do that. And this is when Lovergirl was a huge hit.. She was so down to earth and nice. Her daughter was there one time she was only 3 yrs old. Damn I miss her so much!! Thank you for sharing your gift Teena! RIP!!!
I worked at a hotel in New Orleans and meet her in the courtyard there during the Essence festival. I just remember her getting out of the limo and smiling at me, "Hi honey!" I couldn't believe it I was in shock I was so excited. Just an amazing woman may she rest in peace and love.
Tone I'm jealous of you you met Tina Marie my sister that don't know she's my sister LOL I went to see her at the Strand I don't know if you're old enough or not to know about the club call The Strand it's not too far from the beach and Los Angeles California and she tore that club up she had her daughter with her her daughter was two years old then she is well mist and will loved I still have all her CDs and I have a picture of her in my living room that a lot of people want so yes I am jealous of you he got to meet the white girl with the black soul she's in heaven with Jesus singing the ham Merry Christmas and Happy New Years stay close to God because He will always stay close to you
I never saw this either..She was so pretty here. She was made up beautifully...She did have beautiful eyes like someone else said. Her album covers showed her true beauty very well. But she rarely made herself up like this in public. I was fortunate enough to meet her not long before her passing. She was a rare soul that been here before ... R.I.P lady Tee
Met her back in 1992 at Black Music Day downtown Los Angeles, when i seen her i dropped to my knees and said" Miss Marie i Love you, you just don't know!" LOL she said "Baby get up off you're knees..would you like a Cd and autograph? I replied yes but I had no camera God Blessis her may she R.I.P in piece "Portuguese lover".
I agree with everyone, thank you so much for sharing this! I love that she asked you to get up, most stars ego’s would have them get off on that, so to speak; it shows how truly humble she was! 👑💜💕🕊
Teena Marie is my favorite artist of all time... I'm 21 and hardly anyone I knows who she really is. It's sad, she was such a talented artist all the way around. And such a class act. I wish I would have had the chance to meet her before she passed! And she is so humble in these interviews. She's an admirable woman and set a wonderful example.
Nor.Cal I think that you are such a cool person, for being so young and loving not just an older artist, but an underrated one too that not many know of. Her voice is from another dimension 💜🕊
She's a cult figure and it's criminal she's not well known. Stupid mainstream media that we get here in Australia! I just discovered her music through JLO's youtube channel!! Square Biz was played when she was getting ready for The Oscars and I said..WHO IS THIS ARTIST?? WOW!!
I would highly recommend scrolling down and reading many of these comments of people who meet her before. It really highlights what a genuine, humble, unique, and rare soul that she was. 💜🕊👑🔮💖
Right! I noticed that same thing with Prince too. I had never found Prince videos/clips here until the day after he passed. I love finding clips of my favorite artists as well.
Teena Marie was one of the most underrated and talented singer in the 80's but it is damn shame that she got the recognition that she deserve and RIP Lady T
miss Teena Marie! I love her so much I learned about her from my parents and I’m only 20. I swear I thought she was black when I first heard her lol. I love her raspy voice & I think she was the most underrated 80s singer she was the baddest ❤️ rip lovely girl
Just for Fun she was VERY down to earth and she didn’t try to be anyone but herself--very underrated. Being accepted into black culture is one thing but for her to have the respect she does from black women is priceless!! Teena was the baddest white chic on the damn planet and anybody not wanting to give her her props obviously only listened to her radio play and not all her music cause she has some serious heat bangers!! RIP Lady T!!
In my 40s and stumbled on here after reading she died in 2010 and the hotel accident. WOOWW!!! I never knew any of that...just that Teena Marie is an OG and legend. What a heartbreaking story but God bless her soul and family! We are blessed she worked so hard and made the music she did!!! 🥰
look at my sister of another mother and father LOL my girl Miss Tina Marie I grew up listening to her know every song and still have them Merry Christmas Tina I know you up there with Jesus and the rest of the angels that sing that passed away we still love you all and we'll always playing music
damn, would be a treasure to see her sing Young Love. She very rarely performed it. I never knew she did a televised version. My fault for not watching Dick Clark all those years ago! lol. Thanks for posting! She looked beautful! RIP Tee
A Tina Marie biopic would be phenomenal!! One of her self titles, Vanilla Child! Launching her career at Motown and in keeping with some heavy hitters: Rick James, Prince and the the story behind the lyrics, OMG ..!!!
Major Support Being Shown ... Much Gratitude & Appreciation For You Making The Time To Upload This - Fabulous - Subscribed As Well = THANK YOU! Peace & Blessings Symone
Saw her live at a free concert in Brooklyn in 2002. It was the dog days of summer and it was HOT! This woman put on an amazing show and sang her heart out and was so humble. She came off the stage (security told her not to) and stood on a chair so everyone could see her (she was tiny) and sang right there in the middle for everyone to enjoy. May she rest in peace.
Why is everyone saying she's underrated? There is not a black person alive that doesn't give Teena props. She was on Soul Train like six times. She's a well respect women, especially in the black community.
I think because Teena wasn't really known in the pop world. Plus truthfully her label Motown didn't market/promote her at all. If a major label don't commit to market you it's pretty much up to the artist to do it. Motown focused more on Rick James. Motown screwed Teena big time.. May Lady T RIP...
I think they meant underrated as far as not being as big as Janet, Madonna, Whitney in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. She certainly had the chops. I’m thinking a lot might have been unwillingness to jump through the industry hoops.
SHE WAS VERY ATTRACTIVE,...AND VERY VERY TALENTED HOPEFULLY HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WILL BE RECOGNIZED FOR HER TALENTS AS TINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN “THE STAR🌟💫🤩
such pure talent,,singing & playing all instruments on her recordings + her stage presence/choreography & brashness. R>I>P>"TEENA MARIE" GIVES ME A "MAGIC CARPET RIDE" DURING THE ENTIRE SONG. WHAT A "LOVER GIRL" SHE MUST HAVE BEEN" ONE CAN ONLY DREAM"
I never heard her talking voice🥺😍 I remember listening to her when I was younger and thought she was a black woman🥰 either or Teena can sing her ass off, she’s a powerhouse, and she’s beautiful. I miss her.
This woman never got her real props one of the baddest R&B singers ever
I think she was the only white R&B singer to be accepted by the Blacks totally. Not Elton, not Hall and Oates, not Timberlake...etc.
tonygrooove Unlike those artists who recorded one or two song that crossed over, she was strictly R&B.
+Walid Aladssani - You must be tone deaf if you think she was just "ok". She was immensely talented.

She had the most soulful voice! She was real!
She was so damn beautiful. Rest In Peace Lady T.
I agree!
ABSOLUTELY 💯 🩵🖤🩵🖤🩵🖤🩵🖤
And to think her, Prince and Rick are all gone. That's just crazy.
And Dick Clark too!
MelodyMaker151 , it's truly sad, but as they say, "nothing good lasts". That is why they are immortalized via their amazing talent! RIP
Stevie's still around tho. Come to think about it, Sly's still around.
Rip to all of them.
See how nice her clothes look? No wild , Halloween face makeup like so many now, and this is their everyday look! With wild, wind blown hair, on purpose.
I looked in my 24 y/o daughter's room and saw her singing to Portuguese Love----big smile across her old man's face..
Teena actually is real sweet. I meet her 3xs she let all her fans form a line and one by one we all went on her tour bus she signed pictures, cd's etc. Not too many singers do that.

She was the Best 😉💯❤
That is so wonderful to know. Thanks for sharing.
I am blessed to say that I've seen Rick, Teena and Prince live in concert...but imagine seeing all three on the same tour. Unbelievable!
Wow thats 🎉
I did too!! I've seen Rick & Lady T together & Prince separately. Such unbelievable talented artists! Not to many meet their standards!
Teena Marie is a very UNDERRATED 80s singer. R.I.P. Lovergirl!!
Underrated by who? Everybody knew and loved who she was for sure
@@zie0941 Definitely not underrated at all.
Not in the black community... she is sooo loved best voice hands down. R.I.P Teena 💜
Maybe to you and white audiences who only heard Lovergirl. She's one of the best funk and r&b singers of all time.
Not to those who know her music.
I worked at a hotel in New Orleans and meet her in the courtyard there during the Essence festival. I just remember her getting out of the limo and smiling at me, "Hi honey!" I couldn't believe it I was in shock I was so excited. Just an amazing woman may she rest in peace and love.

There isn't enough Teena Marie's younger videos on here.
kayteeelle 2 years late! But I'm searching for them!
She really was strikingly beautiful
I'm trying to find them all ugh
I could watch her interviews all day
Met her back in 1992 at Black Music Day downtown Los Angeles, when i seen her i dropped to my knees and said" Miss Marie i Love you, you just don't know!" LOL she said "Baby get up off you're knees..would you like a Cd and autograph? I replied yes but I had no camera God Blessis her may she R.I.P in piece "Portuguese lover".
Priceless.
That's a very unique & privileged memory you have. Thank you for sharing it!

There were no Teena Marie interviews on RUclips years ago, I remember just trying to find more than 3 clips. Its nice to see there's more now
Right! I noticed that same thing with Prince too. I had never found Prince videos/clips here until the day after he passed. I love finding clips of my favorite artists as well.

I miss her 😢 very much 💔
She is just an angel
Thanks so much Dick for inviting soul funk artists.
Loved her great singer ❤
I really really miss her 😭
Writer, producer, composer and arranger let that sink in and respect the talent!!
She was the opening act on the Dirty Mind Tour that prince did. I bet that was off the chain!
Such a shame, there are not more (Good quality) videos of her.... such a beautiful lady.... and the voice of a goddess.
miss Teena Marie! I love her so much I learned about her from my parents and I’m only 20. I swear I thought she was black when I first heard her lol. I love her raspy voice & I think she was the most underrated 80s singer she was the baddest ❤️ rip lovely girl

Teena Marie is a GOAT. Rest In Heaven💜

She was so cute talking. Voice of a little girl.
A Tina Marie biopic would be phenomenal!! One of her self titles, Vanilla Child! Launching her career at Motown and in keeping with some heavy hitters: Rick James, Prince and the the story behind the lyrics, OMG ..!!!
Teena Marie, a singer that has somewhat been forgotten when we talk about great female singers. Worked with the great Rick James & Stone City Band.
Loved her from the first listen. So under-rated. RIP Lady T
I like her hair and her makeup
Teena must have been a sweetheart. She was loved by all who knew her personally.
I miss you Teena Marie :( ...the world has gotten darker without you! Sing with the Angels! GOD knos you were one of them!
Rest in peace teena Maria sleep 0n sleep on . Love you your music always
