    Wow... unbelievable... She's been through a lot. I saw her EVERY year she came to Philly or AC (Atlantic City) When I saw her in concert this fall, she'd come full circle.(She ALWAYS gave tribute to the late Rick James) What a GREAT artist & performer... Thank you for the beautiful & funky music... Your songs will FOREVER BE IN MY HEART...
    Fire & Desire for those passionate moments & Square Biz for those funky, get down & groove moments..dang..too many too list. I LOVE YOU LADY T !!!!! R-I-P !!!!

    Three of the best songs ever written & recorded by T. Marie. Often considered her my surrogate mother. She will be missed.
