   I just thank god for wonderful memories and the legacy Lady T has left us. I was privileged to see her perform early this year in London, and she was amazing/. Her vocals were as crisp as when she came out in 79, and her energy on stage was electrifying. She had us all in the audience on the one with her and she gave props to her mentor Rick james. Made luv to you Teena, and I know you and Rick are going to Light heaven up, One Luv...nick in the UK

   Lady T,
   A very unique and special person who filled the hearts of many urban teens. I knew the words to all her songs. RIP Lady T, I will miss you.

   When I heard the news I was devastated. She is my favorite artist PERIOD. The part that saddens me most is that when the real music/talent comes back to it's purest form, she won't be a part of that revolution. I was definitely looking for her to lead the charge. There has been no other artist that could take my mind and spirit to that zone of imagination/wonderment like Lady T. Vanilla Child, Lil'Bit, The Ivory Queen of Soul. From songs like Tune in Tomorrow to Black Rain, she was an awesome talent. The fortunate part is that her fans are left with uncompromising tunes and reflections that will live forever "ask the rest what I'm going through." I'm tearing as I'm writing this. My heart goes out to her family first and foremost and to other Teena Marie fans, I need some majic words while I'm alone, I'm feelin' like a saxophone

   So sorry about the death of the one that many people loved , Teena Marie. We all have the hope of the wonderful promises found in Gods word at John 5:28,29 where Jesus will resurrect our loved ones who have fallen ASLEEP in death to live forever here on earth. This will happen during the thousand year reign, (Revelation 20:11-13 ) . This is one reason our Lord Jesus said to pray for His Kingdom to come at Matthew 6:9,10. Psalms 37:11,29 also assures us of an earthly PARADISE. What a wonderful hope.

    R.I.P, Teena Marie. i will truly miss you, you are my favorite music artist, Your music was an inspiration to me. I have most of your songs from over the last 3 decades and I introduced your music to my teenage daughter. God bless your family through this very difficult time. I can't believe it but I guess it's true. I wiill always appreciate your contribution to this life. For those with negative comments about you I can see threy have nothing meaningful to contribute on their journey.
