    I was saddened to hear of Teena Marie's passing. She was such a force in Music. She delivered songs with so much Strength and Charisma, that you could not get enough of them. She contributed so much to so many during her career. She broke barriers in R&B and Jazz. A tiny lady that was a POWERHOUSE!! You will never be forgotten and always adored. Rest in Peace Lady T. And to the family, May you find comfort and strength in the Lord during this most difficult time.. GOD BLESS!
