Teena Marie's death sends twinge through Twitter
The death of award-winning singer-songwriter Teena Marie hit the Twitterverse hard Sunday night.
The first tweet about the singer’s death hit the popular microblogging site around 8:30 p.m.
In an hour’s time, Marie's name was the top trending topic, with condolences being tweeted from around the world.
“I can't believe Teena Marie died. I'm super sad,” tweeted user HopeVann.
Sunday night, a number of celebrities with contacts in entertainment pitched in to form a composite of Marie's untimely passing.
In the early going, drummer Sheila E tweeted: “They just took her body from her home. Teena Marie found dead by her daughter whos BD was yesterday. pray 4 her & her family.”
The message was retweeted more than 100 times within minutes.
Minutes later, CNN contributor Roland Martin got a hold of Marie’s manager and confirmed it.
"Mike Gardner, the manager of @teenamarie, just told me that it is true: the legendary R&B singer has indeed died," Martin tweeted.
Tremors of Marie's passing also hit Facebook and other popular social networking sites.
“No cause of death has been provided ... . Her manager, Mike Gardner, said her body is at the coroner's office,” Martin later tweeted.

About time, CNN for the pretty picture! You are to be a shame of yourself...
This is not Teena Marie...
http://www.vanillachild.com/larry.htm
yes it is. she got old and fat.
Yes, unfortunately it IS Teena Marie! She didn't age too well, but ALWAYS a class act!!
Who the heck is that a picture of! DANG get your stuff together CNN.
CNN does have their stuff together, this is in fact a picture of Teena Marie! I'm a huge fan, and I've seen her look like this for quite some time now. Truely a legend, no matter what she looked like. A real beauty, both inside and out!!
WTH is that? CNN, Newsflash: that ISN'T Lady T!!!!! Find a picture of Teena Marie ASAP!
THAT PICTURE IS NOT TEENA MARIE !!!!! WTH IS WRONG WITH CNN??? SERIOUSLY?
yes it is. she got older and fatter.
The picture is Teena and it is beautiful!
Obviously David, they must not know what she looks like!!! This is Teena Marie and as always as beautiful as ever! May your soul rest in peace! My prayers are with your family!
And I am King Alibaba. You're point?
True fans will recognize Lady T anywhere! This is her...big, beautiful and ALWAYS GREAT!!
Teena Marie was a classic I happened to meet her in Beverly Hills 2 yrs ago and she is a pure class act. Yes she aged but see her in person she aged well and beautifully for a 54 yr. old woman... pictures and cameras if not photo shopped adds pounds and this is Teena in her true blue essence.....Beyonce, Britney, Ciara or others cannot match her talent...she wrote, produced and musically arranged her own songs the industry does not believe in real true talent like that anymore.....I do feel Christina Aguilera has a beautiful voice and she would be my first choice to portray Miss Lady T in a biopic. R.I.P Miss Teena now you and Rick James can musically funk on in Heaven.......Keep it "Wild and Peaceful"
Seriously, CNN and Craig Johnson ("journalist.") The correct Twitter account is NOT @teenamarie–it's @MSteenamarie
Dear CNN this is Teena Marie's twitter account: @MsTeenaMarie One of her last tweets reads Sarah Vaughan "May You never grow old, and may I never die"...
7:25 PM Dec 25th via Echofon We will miss you, Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lady T's daughter and family. One of the best R&B Greats
Blah blah blah. Save your breath.
I don't know who the heck that is...but that looks nothing like the Teena Marie I've seen on stage or in pictures for the last 30 years!
Perhaps you should remove your beer goggles.
Now THAT's the right Teena!! Thank you!
Paper or plastic?
It is apparent that this blogger haven't a clue who Teena Marie is. This is NOT Teena Marie. This is Teena Marie: http://www6.blender.com/guide/47417/teena-marie.html
It would be really kind if you would retract this entry, put forth a little more effort and repost.
The pic you posted is a picture of Teena Marie about 20 years ago...She was 54 and actively performing. SMH... You guys need to learn your stuff.
you have a picture of her 30 yrs ago!!! ANd the one above is her too!!! WOW!!
Its amazing what happens when people age...they look totally different. I mean, just look at your baby picture and you now! I can't believe it, you don't look anything alike!!!! OMG! 😛
Dude come back to reality, Teena got old and fat. The pic CNN has posted is accurate. She might have sounded like a "sista" but she aged like a white gal.
1stly RIP 'Lady T' the world has lost a prolific song writer singer instrument-alist & overall performer! **folks the big & clumsy news outlets will fall within the decade. Social Media tols will prevail**
The T has gone for a long Z!
It is a picture of Teena marie...in her later years. RIP Lady T.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Though if you sugar coat it, I am sure T will!
In my era Teena Marie was IT! Her voice her songs was on top w/Rick James! I will always play her songs forever. RIP Ms T!
I feel sorry for you. No really, I do!
Extremely saddened by the news. Ooh La La La will live on as a classic forever! RIP
*WOW! WHAT TRAGEDY. WHAT A LOSS
