    I am so shocked, speechless and sadden by this terrible news, i can't even begin to express it. I never missed a concert here in LA Lady T is the "only" entertainer next to Natalie Cole whose 8-track, album, and cd that i will listen to in it's entirety. I will keep my favorite song "Irons in the Fire" playing in my heart always.

    This is terrible News for the music world. I feel like I felt when Micheal passed. All I will say is " if you don't know, you never will know now" Teena was at the top and never lost that position when it came to a GREAT SINGER. R.I.P.

    I just heard the news and had to lay down. Since her first LP "Wild and Peaceful," I have been a loyal fan. She sang from the depths of her soul!!!! You will be greatly missed, R.I.P. Lady Tee, you were great and I believe the Lord needed another angel. Our prayers go out to her family and friends.

    You BUMS should show more respect for Lady T. She was an icon the B&B world. She had staying power not like some of these fake one hit wonder people and groups current and pass. My daughter called me to tell me Lady T was gone. I remember my daughter listening to her when she was only 4 years old and she knew all the words to Square Biz. I will miss Lady T's music as much as I miss Michael Jackson's music.

      I remember sitting with the album and listening to Square Biz. Always staring at the album and amazed as a child born in 1974
