Yes, she will truly be missed. She was a one of the many pioneers of great R&B music and I wish her family continued blessings.
I am very heart broken that I did not see or hear more coverage regarding her death, I heard an announcement on regular television and that was it. I did not hear anything about it on TMZ, The Insider, Entertainer Tonight, etc.
God bless the family of teena Marie she has been a blessing to all that loved her music. Thank her family for sharing her with the world. Peace be with you
I have grown up with Teena Maries music, and she will be missed, but her music will live on and on. She was great.
Mona,
I also grew up in and on her music and Yes she will be greatly missed,She left with us all of her beautiful talent, to comfort us in those times of need, she is gone But will never be forgotten and will be a household name for many of us til our days are at end, this is truly a great lost!!!
You guys act like you know her and you're spelling her name wrong . Smh. Its teena marie.
Not quite. It's Teena Marie . . . proper names use capital letters in the English language.
Also, the contraction of "it is" requires an apostrophe, as in "it's Teena Marie."
If you're going to try to correct people, finish fourth grade. :
Is this really the time or place for the grammer police? Gosh can't we just speak on the great loss we have just suffered? Her music will live on in us forever. She was a tremendous talent and we are losing these people everyday and left with the catasthrophe that is today's so called music.
U guys r kidding right? It's not about grammar. Another great person has passed on. Show some respect to Ms. Teena.
Show some Respect. Shame on you ..Spelling REALLY !!!
yea, i agree. it's no spelling contest. who do you guys think you are, joe miller?
you have no respect this is not a joke show some respect to teena and her family.
grow-up dude...Soul Town has lost a great one...
WIsh it weren't true.
Im with you. I just bought tickets to her up coming concert as a surprise for my wife. Lady T is and always will be missed.
Well all I can say is that your music touched my spirit in a way I will always remeber in my heart,Listening to your sounds in the car with the one man I once loved the most in my life and now that I am marryied.When I hear ms.Teena Marie
your songs take me back in that beautiful time in my life I love you and I am so sorry that you left us so soon you was one of the best we got it all you had a we got it always thankful for the beautful songs you song and wrote God Bless you and your Family and personal friend rest in peace see you again one day amen.
Today is another sad day 4 music lovers real music lovers! Teena was 1 of my favorite her and Phyllis Hyman and Angela Winbush are the best! Love you Teena i'm talking square biz to you baby r.i.p
Latif,
You mentioned some great artist here. Teena and Rick were in Baton Rouge, it was 1979, the concert was outside. The weather was great and the music was on point. Teena made her grand entrance, you know–Fire and Desire. Today, New Orleans radio station WYLD, played one of her hits-a creative guitar player she was. 🙂
Black,
I was there also, was in college at Gambling-wild show-plenty of smoooooooooke to go around
Teena was amazing...she also wrote and arranged her music (at a time when very few women did)...she was true to what was in her heart...not everybody feels or sounds like their DNA...always though it was cool that she mentioned poet Nikki Giovanni...and she didn't need auto-tune!!
"I just want to beeee youuur love girrrrrr!" People like her made music listening an experience. That's why she will always stay in my song listings. I know she meant more to the world than just a musician. So cor the world at large I hope they can appreciate who she was as a whole. Hey lady t. "Oo la la laaaa!!" Aw man. 🙂 rip queen. My regards to the family and friends.
That was the song. You felt every beat. Good Stuff.
c'est la vie, amiright?
dug.
You are all over it
First of all, if you don't know who Teena Marie is, then get off the friggen page! Second of all, I agree with the one poster who apologized for all of the losers on here, who feel like they have to bash others...no matter what race they are. Third of all...to you idiots: RESPECT THE DEAD!! I remember her song "Lovergirl" and just heard it a few days ago on the 80s Channel on MusicChoice. She will be missed by her friends, family and fans. May you sleep well Teena and jam out with Rick and Michael. RIP ðŸ™
Good reminder Charlie - if you do not understand the love then vacate the site. Lady "T" moved the Motown whole – big ups to all the fans - classey lady, much more then just some white chick - thanks Teena for the memories.
I grew up listening to her music in Puerto Rico. Today I am so sad for her death. She was gifted, talented and a genious in my book. You will me missed Lovergirl. Your music rocked our world. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family. Rest in Peace lady T. From a 33 year old fan
That right DJ Flava J. She will be missed. Keep playing her songs, because her beat make you want to ROCK YOUR WORLD. 🙂
Next time I DJ at the club I will do a mix set in Memory of Teena Marie to honor her.
too bad about Teena. She was pretty awesome.
SOCK is the word of the day............R.I.P. TEENA Rick take care of her.
Lady T..........you will live on,your memory always in the wonderful songs you brought us. One of the most awesome vocalists of our time..another great star, shining on in the heavens. She gave from her heart and every time I saw her sing it was a pleasure unmatched. She was a natural, it's a great loss, but for sure Ms. Tee unforgetable..that's what u are!!
All I can say is wow!!! I loved her so much!! She was my inspiration.
