  • I miss you so much Teena. Rest In Peace - Love to you and Rick - I miss you both!!

  • RIP good voice that will always play in the air forever inmortal.

  • i am so mad that she was in my city and didn't get the chance to see her.

  • @adryan108 My sentiments.....

  • This song means a lot 2 me because it's basically telling U how short life is and everybody need 2 get right. They don't make good music like this anymore! The music nowadays is not what it used 2 be. The new music lately sucks! It will never be another Teena Marie! Her legacy of music will on! it will never die! If U are a 1980 baby like me, U know what I'm talkin' 'bout!

  • Teena voice of an angel,God shared her with us for a little while.I remember "square biz" like it was yesterday,i was pregnant with my 3rd daughter. and it was hot July and I wanted to go to the cluband dance. Baby all over me! she was born July 13th.Teena you will alway's be one of my favorite black soul sister's.Rest in peace sista,Rick will be happy to see ya!

  • I decided to check out who this Tina Marie was when I heard of her passing-I'm 48, and I've been hooked ever since. I listen to this almost everyday and still it gives me chills; makes tears come to my eyes.

  • Teena knocks it out of the ball park @ 5:20. RIP Lady T. Your voice will live on. Your music will live forever. Thanks for all the beautiful songs.

  • this song is my truth

  • I didn't know her as a person. But a beautiful/ underrated/awesome talented woman. I often wonder why some white artist's can crossover and be accepted and others who are equally talented cannot? I realized from watching this video, it's a spiritual connection that transcends the talent. I saw Ms.Teena last year in brooklyn and i'm so happy that i did, a few months later she was gone. Rip Girl!

  • I LOVED THIS VIDEO, I WILL TRULY MISS THIS SONGTRESS, SHE WAS A BLUE-EYED SOUL SISTER. WE HAVE LOST ALL THE SOULFUL MEN, NOW WE LOST A FINE FEMALE SINGER. THERE IS REALLY NO ONE LEFT BUT TINA TURNER BUT EVEN TINA IS NOT NOT TEENA, SAME SOUND IN NAME BUT DIFFERENT STYLE IN MUSIC.. I'M GRATEFUL TO YOU TUBE CAUSE I CAN LISTEN TO ALL HER MUSIC AND WATCH HER VIDEO'S AS WELL. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE FOR TRULY U ARE A SHINING STAR. GOD FOREVER KEEP U CLOSE TO HIM I WILL MISS YOU TINA.

  • PUT YOUR LIGHTERS IN THE AIR FOR, LADY T!

  • They just don't make 'en like this anymore!!! Miss her so much. Her music always makes me feel better.

  • Rest In Paradise sweet Lady T. Never to be replaced!!!! I love you still..... StonieDogStl.

  • I am soooo sad I'll never get to see her in concert again. She came to Pittsburgh not long before she died and she was phenomenal. I feel so good when I hear her sing. Only the good die young.

  • thanks for this video...what a lady!!!

  • CHILLS

  • love her! my babe love lover she lift my hole spirits

  • I can still listen to her voice and I am at peace - a piece of heaven is her voice when she sings. I miss you teena marie

  • dayum. that background singer is THICK.

  • I love you teena you're beautiful flower, A rare rose the pain is so severe looking at this and I remember going to see you in person on my birthday my husband surprised me! I trullllly Lovvve you and your music lives on! My prayers and sympathy go out to her family wow what a legend!

  • baddest white girl to ever touch a mic. no disrespect intended, but she would know what I'm talking about. the black community love Lady T. She belongs to us. she said it out of her own mouth.she was a black girl in a white girl's body.

  • This is Great footage. Good job! "We love you, Tina!"

  • This is my all time favorite Teena Marie song. I fell in love with her. I am going to miss this lady forever.

  • Teena will always be the "TRUE" queen of R&B in the hearts of all of her fans, miss you Teena

  • So shocking.... so painful... A once in a lifetime talent, Like Michael.. there will NEVER be another Teena Marie... G-d bless her soul... carry on Rose Lebeau... your mom is so proud ! Everyone will know you beautiful Rose... you have it all .. just like your mom ... you sound like her, and I know your spirit is intertwined with hers. She lives on through you.... This song is also my all tme favorite ..

  • The thing that gives me comfort is that her daughter knows how much her mom was truly, truly loved.

  • Damn, I missed this concert when she came to town.

  • @kyereCat

    Me too!!! I'm sitting here wondering how the hell did I miss Tina coming to B-More???? WTF was I doing???

  • I just seen Tina Marie this past summer @ the LA County Fair, and @ Juneteen in Compton California, I am so glad I got a chance to take a picture with her, and get her autograph, she was an amazing woman, This is my favorite song by her, she will be trully missed, May God strengthen and encourge her family through these times, RIP MS. Tina

  • This is the cut!!! She sounded as good "live", as she did on record. Not many can say that. Lady T could blow. She is sadly missed as I've been loving her since the very first album. R.I.P. Teena

  • This made the hairs on my arms stand up!!!! whatta beautiful legend!!

  • I wished I saw her in concert!

  • rick james and teena marie were just another couple to prove that the love in black and white together make beaqutiful music!

  • the sad thing about her music is that kids today and alot of young adults will never listen to her music because their so caught up into the bullshit that they call music today.especially in the rap genre. the r&b genre is not that far off from the rap either. man how can you call yourself a music lover and not love teena marie's music? they just don't produce artist like this anymore. rip ms. teena marie and thank you for all the great music and wonderful concerts.

  • Wow! Incredible! What a loss.

  • Watch this video...you don't see explosions, 500 dancers, a bunch of hangers on taking the stage...no auto tune...you see SINGING...like it should be done. I wish some singer would take her torch and run with it.

  • THE BADDEST WHITE SISTAH THAT EVA LIVED. I SURE HATE THAT I NEVER ATTENDED ONE OF HER CONCERTS.

    R.I.P. VANILLA CHILD = )

  • This was my first & favourite of hers back in the day ('79)

    ........but the FLY girl has flown ^t^

  • Steve mate, thanks for posting this lovely live video. Can't express how much Lady T. will be missed. She represents all my teen years, growing up & going out clubbing in London in the 80's.

  • LOVE MAGIC FREEDOM REALITY

  • Rest in peace, sweet Lady T. Your passing saddens my heart but your music binds my soul. My heartfelt condolences to your loved ones... It still feels a little surreal in a sad way.

  • i've been singing this all week.......rip ! 

  • i've been singing all week.......rip ! 

  • I can't believe that she is really gone! thank you for sharing this video! She definitely sings from the soul! RIP Ms T...You will definitely be missed!

  • Great spirit, great voice, great music and a phenomenal human being that will be missed. This video moves me deeply and I was blessed to me Teena Marie in Beverly Hills in 2009.

  • There will truly never be another Lady T.

  • know one else will ever make me feel the way this lady did,i love you teena.miss you already.fly away in peace and we wont ever forget you.love always to you lady of universal soul.

  • Can't no body tell me that she didn't love God. He is who kept her when drugs destroyed so many...I lvoe her..She ws BAD!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

  • thanks, Steve for recording this. This my favorite song love her}}}}

  • This woman's got SOUL;

    now may it rest peacefully in heaven!

  • R.I.P. TINA MARIE! LOVE THIS VIDEO!

  • She's got SOUL...R.I.P.....true Legend....

  • She sang this song like she did 31yrs. ago. Rick wrote that song and only Teena could sing it. You could just see her heart was full and she was happy to be on that stage at that point in her life. She knew how good God was and she was happy..... I pray that God receives her into his kingdom.

  • this is one of many reason teena (lady t ) will always be the best. R.I.P. lady t, you will be missed but be forever love. a true sister girl inside and out. you a god's angel now. may god watch over you and your family.

  • Lady T could lay it down & nobody hits this genius level of brilliance as composer, musician, performer and that extraordinary voice...unmatched beauty & depth in a ballad, Teena takes you there in such an magnificent way and will be missed...gone too soon, will miss the joy of Lady T in concert but she lives on in her sublime music...RIP 4ever lovely Lady T & love and prayers to Alia Rose and the family

  • This song right here--this is why we loved her. This was her first hit on R&B stations. It came out before videos were widley used to promote artists. We just loved the music and the voice. It didn't matter what she looked like. And when folks found out she was white, they still loved her. It just never mattered. The power of love in the music and her sincerity blasted right past all the stupid preconcieved notions. She was our sister and she sang our pain.

  • @sistalinda your comment brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful choice of words!  Thank you :)

  • To the family of the late Teena Marie with deepest sorrow in your loss. We the fans thank you for sharing your love one, Who's envaporating silk vocals that GOD bless her with to shower a rainbow of people with love in song a job well done. May GOD forever bless you and keep you in this time of bereavement. PEACE !  RIP LADY TEE

  • She was a true powerhouse! There will never be another like her! Rest In Peace Vanilla Child...smh

  • I've only just learned of Lady T's sad & sudden death. I'm so shocked. I'm in the U.K. so have only managed to see her in concert once (Wonderful), but have been a true fan since day one. I've read a few remarks where people have compared her to Tina Turner (?), my mind is boggled. I thank Teena for years her music has served me and this is as fresh today as it was 30 years ago. You will be missed Teena, rest in peace & thank you for filling my ears with your beautiful voice & music xxx

  • Hello People, My family always get up set when I tell them that : this is song I want them to lay when I pass away. I'm not crazy this song has touch me in many ways. Love you and will miss you lady T!

  • We love you lady T. You are wowing them in heaven now. Your performance on this made me cry, but I see them as tears of joy to celebrate your godgiven talent.

  • she still sounded awesome & powerful after so many years .....she obviously took good care of her voice.....but such a sound could only come from a person with a tremendous heart inside......full of love.

    I can hear The Love every time she sings. Thank you Teena for loving us. We love you right back. .....and we WILL miss you.

    As Heaven receives another angel.

  • As is shown clearly in this video, Lady Teena Marie is a beautiful spirit. All her songs are imbued with soulful spirituality. The outpouring of feeling since her passing is a testament to her ability to touch the human heart. I love Lady T!

  • Thank you, for sharing this beautifully moving moment. I feel like I'm experiencing the real performer at her best. God Bless, Miss Teena Maria.

  • Ah, Teena Marie. You will be missed. Voice from the heavens. Thank you for such beautiful music.

  • at the end of this vedio tina was speaking some jamaica patios.she said she feel irie ,big up ivory sista,rip. one love

  • no one can ever replace you Lady Tee.

    forever on my playlist.

  • When LadyTTeenaMarie [R.i.P] Sang New Birth's WILDFLOWER As She Took The Elderly Woman's Hand In The Front Row Seat On Mother's Day 2010 At "The Theatre" In Madison Square Garden Is A Testament Of The Musical Genius She Was Known To Be, Gone Far Way Tooo Soon, I Just Hope That Teena Saved These Impromtu Moments On Recordings For A DAY Like Today That We Never Wanted To Imagine But Are Faced To Deal With!!!

  • RIP Lady T your music will forever live on, whether black or white you were a wonderful soul singer and I for one will forever cherish your music... GOD made one voice like yours there will be another. may you rest in eternal peace..

  • NOTICE, Teena was right with GOD here. Notice BEFORE she started this concert, she mentioned, "i send a wave of peace and blessings to all in the audience....because GOD is good. On a Buffalo TV station interview 3 months before he died, Rick James said, "God tapped me on the shoulders and said "Let's have a little talk". When Rick died, it hit me like a rock that God knew that he was going to die and wanted him to get things right before he left this world. Many times God warns us.Beware.

  • @steve0323 thanx so much for sharing this video. It brought tears 2 my eyes- Teena will be truly Missed!!

    luvcherripye

  • Every time I hear this song I get a full case of déjà vu. I remember this album cover with the water color scene. However, the 12” behind the grove did. I remember saying to the store clerk ‘Wow, that white girl can sing. She must have had a lot of joy and pain in her life to balance it out like that.” Today, when ever I hear the Lady T. I smile. I know she’s singing with the Angels because she’s hold a spot for me. R.I.P.

  • RIP queen of soul!!

  • R.I.P Lady T. I am deeply saddened to learn the news of her sudden passing. Such an incredible talent with an amazing, angelic voice. I was so very fortunate to have seen her in concert many times, most recently last summer in Baltimore. Thanks so much for capturing and sharing this amazing performance of my all-time favorite song Stevie!! Bless you, my Brother!!!

  • @gypsiqueen Growing up with Teena Marie's music and the fact that she visited B'more often has always been a blessing. I too saw her last year at our festival and finally met her and captured some great photos which are on my fb page..steviessoul...

    Thanks for sending your blessings... Just a lil fyi... I'm not a brother... my Mom thought it cute to nickname her daughter Stevie... ;-0).

    Rip Lady T and peace & heart felt blessing to her loved ones.

  • @gypsiqueen I just cant believe it

  • @gypsiqueen thats right God bless this beautiful lady

  • @gypsiqueen

    I am saddened too I also heard she suffered a seizure last month in November ...so I think she probably had been having health problems (maybe)..........I truly liked Teena Marie her music moved me got into my heart and soul.........her lyrics are so on point with things that were or are happening in my life R.I.P. Teena

  • @gypsiqueen Im done all the ol heads done left the building im tight right now this means my time aint far for real

  • This is truly a beautiful iconic performance right here...with the ferris wheel in the back. I'm so glad she was able to make her comeback cd because she was truly missed. Now she will really be truly missed. Rest in Peace Lady T.

As all things change and go unto dust. BLESS THE NAME OF JESUS ! Amen.

  • @Brantus Your comment is simply beautiful. It moved me too a depth of which I cannot explain. My mother passed 6 years ago at the age of 56 and my father passed this past summer at the age of 61. It hurts but I know that God does not make mistakes. "The Lord GOD did but speak your name, when you turned to him and said Yes Master, you slipped into eternity"... Thank You so much for writing this. I understand now. Now I finally understand. "The Holy Spirit is surely upon you. God bless You.
