Such a very underrated and such a beautiful album! R.I.P Teena Marie, I'm so glad my mother introduce me to your music. Such a wonderful teasure you are and forever ever be!
@Dak59B3000 so right i think this is teena's best work, this cd teena pours out her heart and soul. this was her comeback on her own label...RIP QUEEN OF SOUL
The original of this song is great!! Wish I could find it on here!! But Teena is singing the hell out of it..with her own soulful sound!!! What a lady she was!!!
That's it for me. I am buying all of her CD's. Everything I hear her do is making me cry. Such emotion and beauty from this sweet angel. RIP You are now free of your pain and thank you for leaving these pieces of art that will live on.
This song made me cry one night after it finally hit me... God, how is it possible to sound so beautiful? Such an inspiration, I'm just so moved right now all over again.
To those folks who want to be negative cool no problem and for the rest of us fans, the negative folks aren't worth the key strokes. We are here because we know we lost one of the GREAT ONES when Lady Tee went to Heaven. One more beautiful angel singing for us. God Bless those we've lost and their legacy can never be duplicated or imitated. Peace. NYCDiva
u must don't understand real singing if u dislike this song or this artist.... how could u dislike a song sang so lyrically who do U know that can sound so good and hit such notes?
To my lovely only star child lady tee! U are and will always be my inspiration to loving real music. You are one of a kind and there will never be one like u! Will never forget the first time i heard this song i was hypnotize just listening to the Way she sang this version and what better person to do this remake! None other than miss teena marie! I will always love u!
I have all her music (at my mother's house). RIP Lady T. You will be truly missed. Thanks for all the love and the memories you left us. I love you girl.
Tina, should have been reconignized as a solo artist years ago. People only seem to associate her only with Rick james Fire n Desire, but she was a star shinig sad we all had to wait for her to die to give her recongnition.
@sagitariuas1 I couldn't agree with you more. She was an under-rated composer in addition to being a remarkable lyricist. Her arrangements on Portuguese Lover, Cassanova Brown , Tune in Tomorrow are just some of the songs she arranged that showed how she could infuse R&B, Jazz, and Pop into some remarkable compositions. Her music will keep her alive in our hearts.
Miss T was supposed to do the Indigo02 in London on the 25/26th Feb 2011 and her tickets were a sellout. I hope they do a tribute concert for her because we the fans would appreciate that so much R.I.P Miss T.
2GETHER FOREVER NOW.. Fukn Legends Str8 Gone. They could sing they AZZ OFF!. I 1st saw Rick & Teena in Washington, DC back in the day. Rick sang his part and this lil white girl came on stage with a fukn tee shirt and jeans, hair all stragly and wet lookin. And when she opened her fukn mouth...IT BLEW MY HIGH!!!! The gurl could SANG! I never knew Rick could actually sing bc i always played the Bop Gun - I got tha Bang Bang Bang and his fast shyt....Til Fire & Desire.
Original cut from Linda Jones. Teena did her thing on it. She will be greatly missed. The Ivory Queen of Soul, she may not be here in the physical, but her music and spirit shines and lives with us till infinity.
Someone upload from this same cd "The Air I Breathe"...the song about her daughter. This is a even more special song right now. To have her daughter find her gone...sad.....and after her Birthday (her daughter b-day was Christmas day). Teena been in my heart a long time....it hurts
Hypnotized, you got me hypnotized. All it took was your sweet voice and I was hooked for life.. There are others out there that are good as you. But none of them made me feel like you do… That’s why I love you. I will miss you. I wish you were here right now. God has gave us an Angel and now it time for you to go home. But, I’m not going to cry baby, because you will always be…. Around.
Teena Marie was a great singer she will be forever recieved into the hall of R&B as one of the most creative singers and song writers of all time. RIP Teena.
Linda Jones would've given Teena props for Teena's rendition of Linda's " Hypnotize". Both women were awesome vocalists. I'll always remember the memories.
R I P..TEENA MARIE...WOW..HARD TO BELIEVE A FINE WOMAN SO YOUNG LEAVING US..1981..SQUARE BIZ. ..FIRST HEARD IT WHEN I WAS IN JR..HIGH..I THOUGHT.....WOW....WHAT A VOICE...U WILL BE MISSED...
why do folks be comparing the two versions...the original is always the jam, but teena`s voice, nobody sounds like her..anyting she sings, she runs it. big uppp
@kvocalist - DITTO! Got to give Teena her Props all day long.....Linda might have been someone Teena looked up to BUT Teena just like Linda is in a CLASS OF HER OWN.
@1luv408 I honestly think Linda Jones had just a tad bit more soul to her version...However, Teena can turn up the soul at the blink of an eye! Love you Lady Tee, but imma give this back to Linda Jones.
I READ ONCE IN A MUSIC MAG. THAT TEENA M. IDOLIZED LINDA JONES... SHE SAID SHE LUVED THE WAY LINDA JONES SANG WITH SO MUCH SOUL. IT WAS HER FAVORITE SINGER.. SO GIVE LADY T PROPS.. SHES NOT TRYING TO SOUND BETTER. JUST SINGING SUM SOUL ... SOMETHING THAT TODAYS SINGERS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
@XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX : I see that we've read the same thing! Teena's cover is great! Teena's acknowledged Linda's vocal influence. Teena got her own thing but Jone's influence on her vocal style is definitely there. Linda Jones catalog is small and her singing career only spans about 6 years.
For those not familiar with her work 2 cd compilations worth seeking out are. "Linda Jones -Your Precious Love" and "Linda Jones Greatest Hits".
No disrespect to Teena, I love her to death, but she dosen't have the soulful artistry that Ms. jones had when she sang this song. Teena is screaming while Ms Jones was bringing it from deep down in her soul. Good job Tina but you should not try to rearrange perfection. Please leave this one in tact the way it should be sung with soul.
do you have PASSION PLAY the lead single, i never ever heard anything from this album but just found out about it from a documentary on her life, I want to hear all her work I loved Teena for so long and she is AMAZING!!!!!
I love this version as much as Linda Jones!...yes i miss Tina too...she was something really special...she had "Soul"!
