  • Please listen to my Tribute to Teena.

  • Pure class the young generation could learn a lot from these classic artists

  • i guess it's a personal preference thing, i prefer teena over aretha but thats just me

  • Vanilla Soul for sure!

    

  • SHE WASN'T WHITE , SISTER WAS JUS ASHY , LOVE YOU TEENA , MISS YOU

  • @MrJoekidd89 who gives a damn about what colour a singer is?

  • @MrJoekidd89 shes Portuguese, Italian, Irish and Native American

  • Absolutely killed at a party I DJ'd tonight! Thanks Teena!

  • Use to listen to this at a night club called the Oasis or the 'O as we called it then which was ar Battlesbridge in Essex. I drove the DJ the Judge nuts asking for replays as i could'nt get enough of the tune. Cheers Wayne.

  • such a fun song :D

  • Every time when I'll hear this song,i would stop the car and listen to it!! Vice City!

  • that voice ! pure silk... RIP Teena

  • PS this tune is just boiled sugar 4 the ears

  • teena marie - not thaT one?

    anyone spot it yeT?

  • RIP Teena. I remember dancing to this at the Lyceum in London! (It was so popular, they used to play it over and over and over!) The funk will live on forever with songs like this.

  • Viva Lady Tee - Thee Ivory Queen of Soul - Teena Marie -

  • spettacolo

  • I remember this song was a big radio hit summer of 1980!

  • @musiclover77able You are so right. Who the hell said Madonna has a better voice then Teena. Madonna couldn't and has never hit c6 notes. Madonna doesn't even have a strong range. Lady T was right up there with Mariah, Cheryl Lynn etc. Some people just don't facts when they are right in front of thier face! Long live Teena's legacy! RIP Ivory Queen Of Soul!!!

  • love teena, ive been jamming off her music since i was 8years old, She will be missed, REST IN PEACE WITH RICK, "LADY T"!

  • Love you lady! Teena Marie forever!

  • Oh the memories in vice city. how many drive-bys i did on cops during night to this track.

  • Lady T. is in the arms of angels now! Keep her legacy alive by remembering her for the extraordinary artist that she was. She was one of us; the people of color embraced her and we always will.

  • ARETHA IS THE QUEEN, BUT TEENA IS THE ONE WHO SPOKE TO ME.

  • @crouchhill She spoke to you, to me and the rest of the world,with them set of pipes....DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!

  • she was a great artist its a shame she not with us no more the lord is now listenin to the great music she wrote RIP teena maria

  • .... get 'Behind the Groove' with this Ladys awesome musical legacy! R.I.P. Lady T

  • Queen - NO - Goddess

  • Teena was the Queen and still is.Because she is no longer with us does not mean she has lost her title. I am sure Madonna would groove to Teena when she was in NYC circa 1979-82

  • Amazing Voice

  • if i didn't play vice city as much as i used to then i wouldn't have the same taste of music as i do now

  • coooool groooooves, an age coooooolr than t'day

  • i love your voice so great i love you R.I.P teena maire <3

  • Who s better : Madonna; Tina Marie or Lisa Stansfield???? voice and songs sure.

  • @1998verme both lisa stanfield and teena marie shits on madonna vocally no disrespect to madonna.

  • I sure wish that Picture hadn't fallen on her head!

  • what a voice!!!

    definately underrated singer that didnt reach the heights she deserved

    RIP Lady Tee

  • VERY FEW SINGER ON EARTH CAN SING LIKE LADY T. R.I.P.

  • nobody is better than another,we just have to be thankfull for our nich

    listen trravel to her grove jeniusx6@Yahoo.co.uk

  • Madonna IS NOT BETTER!!! Why would you say that, Teena MArie got many titles, 'vory Queen of Soul, Vanilla Child Lady and so on... What's Mad Donna got??? Nothing¬¬ I may be 16 but pople talk rubbish no matter what age

  • @Orangesocksburst ....What idiot said Maddona is better than Tina....?.. some of these people are just plain stupid really...

  • @mrhowardb Some idiot further along the comment page; stupid come in all shapes and sizes age is no different. I wish Teena was still here...

  • Calling all Teena Marie fans. Not sure if you know this but back in print on cd right now on Amazon.com is the Lady T, Irons In The Fire and It Must Be Magic. All CD'S feature extra songs. Example the Lady T cd has 4 mixes of Behind The Groove. Irons In The Fire they have Square Biz on it plus all the original songs. I just order 9 cds from Amazon. 2 Lady T 2 Irons In The Fire since they have been out of print for some time now. So my advice is grab them while they are still in print. RIP LADYT!

  • @musiclover77able this is true

  • This was the first song I ever heard by her.

    An amazing Talent superb voice I grew up listening to her early Albums

    Wild and Peaceful Lady T Irons in the Fire

  • I just finshed watching Teena Marie story on Unsung which directed me to want to hear this song... Love her and Miss her.. mad I never had a chance to see her live..

  • no complaints she was the baddest white soul singer ever, Teena Marie

  • did teena play guitar or bass? anyone?

  • grand theft auto: vice city! lol luv u Lady T

  • R.I.P. Teena....

  • i used to dance to this tune in my teens when i was a dancer its still great and always will be magic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • OMG!! I can't stop listening to this song. Christina has NOTHING on this. None of them, I don't get it about today's "artists," they're nothing compared this. For example, how many "artists" today can make girls pass out and cry at their concerts like Michael Jackson?...

  • @amazionianangel NO ONE will ever be able to do that again. Especialy woman of ALL ages. Guess Bieber and JoBros do that to the lil girls but you have to have longevity to have that affect on the world and be at least half as brilliant as MJ.  No on will ever come close to that brilliance longevity or not. MJ once in a lifetime gift.

  • @amazionianangel No artist today could make someone faint at a concert. None of them today are that great nor talented

  • brings back some pleasant memories

  • This is one of the song that made me want to play GTA Vice City ..

    RIP Lady T you will always be loved for generations!!!!

  • i remember hearing this in a club in glasgow when it first came out and being totally blown away with it.

  • This song was produced by Richard Rudolph the husband of the late great Minnie Riperton. He and Tina made a killer combination. Had Tina been matched up with producers like this (as she was in earlier days with Rick James) she would made more classics. The only person that I see that has the talent and potential of Tina in our day is Christina Aguilera. At this time she's too busy trying to be "dirty" instead of making good music. Just my opinion of course.

  • 3 people forgot to choose like!

  • R.I.P.LADY T u will b misses lady t !!!!!!!

  • you can't compare Madonna to Teena Marie...they both sing totally different. RIP Teena...my biggest regret is not seeing you in concert when i had the chance. No one can compare to your voice ;)

  • My dearest Teena. The world is a much poorer place without you in it.

    R.I.P., Vanilla Child.

  • Check out the bass It's hard to find funky bass line like that now.Charles Glenn is teenas bass player from the group ozone which is her back-up band.

  • whats the t you know thats me rest in peace...i list at five foot one a hundred pounds of fun i like sophisticated funk

  • i list at five foot one a hundred pounds of fun i like sophistcated funk nobody like the t..... you know thats me......rest in peace

  • wow she is white

    all this time ive been hearing her songs and i thought she was black

    white girl with soul

    rare

  • @CRAKIZGOOD yes she is....you know the first album she did they did not put her picture on it because they were afraid if people knew she was white that they would not buy it....I admired her through her whole career...underrated for sure.....

  • @ucns actually berry gordy did not put her picture on the album b/c he wanted people to hear her voice and not see her face. no one would have bought it like you said if they knew she was white. but we all know it didnt matter

  • @mjjcng8958 So we acutally agree....still she is and will always be one of a kind....Too bad,,, more people should be like us... who like music for itself and not what it's coming out of.....rich

  • the only white person with a bit of soul...

  • @superflyiamgonna Hell I say ALOT of SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @superflyiamgonna Michael McDonald and Bobby Caldwell would disagree.

  • She was one of a kind.. This is the JAM!!!!!! I hope she knew how many people LOVED her music before she passed away.YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE LOVED LADY T

  • YES INDEED!

    LOL... I FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE! OMG.. LOL THAT GIRL WAS BADDDD!

    We had the BEST ARTISTS!

    I LOVED TEENA MARIE! Her death hurts, still!

    I just know... I will be a fan until I DIE! lol

    Wow, The 1980s and my jery curl.

    This is OUR LIFETIME! LETS LIVE IT IN PEACE.

  • That guitar riff...As world-famous as any guitar riff you heard in rock. If you didn't know in 1979 (I was one of those who was completely unaware that year), you surely knew in 1980 (as I found out), after hearing that guitar riff and getting the album associated with it.

  • Total classic.......Very sad.......RIP from Scotland

  • this brings back memorises of dancing, white woman with a black soul...also died like a black music singer.....prematurely.

  • @michelle7569 you are soOoooooo RIGHT!!!!!!

  • gta vc ftw ! <3

  • @CindyxBooty7838 WTF ARE YOU SAYING HERE? I HOPE YOUR NOT DISSING LADY T???

  • Teena got recognition from me and all the other Teena Marie fans that grew up on her music. I can sing every Teena Marie song by heart from beginning to end. "The love of me and love of Teena we will make it through to Xanado. I love Teena and I always will. RIP

  • what this was the bomb back we jammed what Terry West

  • We will miss you Teena! I only just started discovering more of her music. Gone but not forgotten.

  • Love this and her. Artists like this are always hugely missed when they go.

  • RIP, beautiful lady; not every lady of color hated on you. Lady T- RIP

  • @vaniti06 no doubt and any black female or male hating on Teena is nothing but pure jealousy. Teena's soul was undeniable !!!! This woman had millions of fans around the globe that loved her and her music. She was especially big in the U.K. R.I.P. Sweet Lady T.

  • I had this song as far back as 1980 and always wanted the 12inch version

  • An absolutely fab singer, I was playing her album quite a lot recently and looking forward to the concert at the o2, UK. RIP

  • her music always made me and a lot of other people shake it

  • Teena make her mark, no doubt. Her vocals were as deep and powerful as any in her genre and beyond. Her voice demonstrated and proved that soul has no color or limitations. She was a rare star that fell from the sky and landed at Motown records, and boy could she make you get up and dance. Teena did that. Few "artists" today can do that. Its truly a pity that few have paid homage to her. She's no longer with us in body, but she will always be with us in spirit.

  • Smoooth,Jazzy,What we will call Smazzy! How bout that? Above it all you have been, and always will be. A unique,songtress in her own right!  Rest Peaceful~~~LADY~T

  • Teena Marie ... 30 years of your music in my life! Since 1981 at 14 I dated a DJ. Every song was a LP record that lasted forever. I've loved u ever since! I'm brokenhearted you're gone Lady T but I will keep your music alive! U were the baddest at Motown and I love you, your gorgeous voice & cool style! -I missed my last chance to see U perform live 6 months ago. You are the real deal in r&b music-a true original. Love u Teena...some of my fondest memories will be tied to your music forever!

  • DAME  RIP

  • Just a shame she was never given the recognition she deserved

  • @michelle7569 I agree 1000% !!!

  • @michelle7569 Yeah it sucks it took her death to get people into her music again. I only really listen to oldies and I saw the huge jump in views on her videos.

  • @michelle7569 lmao !! and you know this man!!!!!

  • R.I.P. Teena Marie. Amazing voice that can never be replaced. And how 3 people can say they dislike is beyond me. xx

  • A very talented lady. RIP.

  • RIP Teena Marie.... very sad news

  • Rest in Peace Teena and Rick

    Mr. Chips

  • RIP, love this song

  • @StrawberryKS.  No question about it. She definitely was one of the best and most gifted. Before Mariah Carey, there was Teena Marie. She just never got the credit or noteriety that Mariah has gotten

  • Sad to hear this and so surprised. She wasn't an old woman by any means. Great soulful voice and yes, what a groove.

    RIP Teena Marie.

  • rip beautiful lady
