@SoulbrotherPete Lady T did her thing on this song, but I feel you on the background vocals. To be honest it almost sounds like she was one of her background singers on this track.
Deja Vu - a track published on a debut album ; when Lady T was in her early twenties - simply phenomenal track. I can remember the time I first woke up to it ; 1989; wedding reception (eating time) ; I had to leave my table and quiz the dj on who was singing the background track. Didn't waste time ; i bought the track a few days later; been an even bigger fan since.
Grew up on Teena's fast tracks; grown older on slower ones too. Deja Vu is in my top 10 tracks of all time. RIP Lady T
She is one of my top musical inspirations....But she is one of the most under rated R&B artists ever..Along with Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills...and many others

Teena thank you for making such an amazing! Every time I hear it my eyes fill with tears.... your music will live on forever. Thank you and rest in peace.
Beautiful Lady T! Her phenomenal voice is unmatchable to any female singer on this planet. Its sad she was not given the credit she deserved. Love you my darling Teena!
Im 18yrs. Old and many ask what I know about teena but believe it or not I grew up wit my mother and father constantly playing her albums back to back and I had no other choice to enjoy it! R.I.P TEENA MARIE(tears)
GOD gifted her with a unique spirit.Out of all the songs she performed,this song and fire/desire with rick james were filled with spirituality.She spoke of the present and the future.Thank you rick for enlightening her.May peace be upon both of you!!!!!!!
I am not sure if the world will ever know what a Treasure She Is. She has a great voice of course, but she blazed trails for women in the music industry. She wrote and produced her own stuff, (although i think this album is produced by RJ). She plays guitar and piano. She sued Motown to get out of a bad contract, won and paved the way for other artists. I wish it wasn't significant that she is a white woman, singing R&B, but the fact is, her being white IS significant.
She's probably doing a literal "Black & White" duo with Michael Jackson in heaven. (Nah, not with James Brown, he was THE soloist and not a duet person, whilst Michael appeared more the team player to me that even agreed to sing backing vocals when he was already big (Rockwell!))
This is such a Beautiful,Beautiful song!!....my favorite of all of her songs.....Lenny Kravitz gave a nice heartfelt message/video on YouTube....he said that he lived with her for a time....he did the video the day after she past away.....he was broken up......she is definitely missed.....truly was a underrated talent!!.......
Teena sang the hell outta this song!! No white girl right now can come even remotely close to her level other than Christina Aquilera. This brings back memories of better , simpler times. R.I.P Teena, we will miss you
@donclan39 Teena Marie was one of the greatest female singers, PERIOD - black or white - and Christina Aguilera or any other female singer today can only keep dreaming
@allenwood100 Teena not only sang ; she told us stories of love , of happiness, of dreams, of peace between all mankind - Thank you Lady T - go with God
Teena sang the hell outta this song!! No white girl right now can come even remotely close to her level other than Christina Aquilera. This brings back memories of better , simpler times. R.I.P Teena, we will miss you
Damn, Teena. I'm beginning to think that songs from the 70s are better than songs from the 80s and I'm an 80s child. I'm sure a lot singers/musicians envied Teena for singing this song (and not them). A very rare and one of a kind type song. A very haunting and beautiful song that I don't get to hear as often but that's gonna change. Gone too soon. RIP, angel.
Songs written, produced, and arranged by Rick James. They were as close and in sync as Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell and Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway.
when i hear this song, I think about all the good and bad and wonder where she came up with all of this. this is amazing. I miss her so much!!! i love u tee and hope and some day i will meet u
my ivory soultress,Rest In Paradise!!! you demonstrated in your measure life,love,peace,togetherness etc. no, you won,t be back again,but I enjoyed your voice and sprit since I first heard you. You should be in some kind of Hall of Fame!!!!! from a real Fan and adorer... StonieDogStl...
This is one of my favorite songs the lyrics touch my heart and soul. I feel it to be true I definitely have those moments where I feel like I am doing something that I have done before in the past. RIP Lady your voice will never be forgotten.
i freaked out because she was white, i was amazed at how someone so porcelain could bring out a strong voice like that. now, she's one of my many idolsssss.
Winding down after Xmas with my grandson to color, KBLX radio plays this and I tell him hold on baby this is Teena gotta turn her up...so I am just humming it and feeling happy and then it ends and dj says we just lost her and I can't believe it...all of the sudden tremendous pain. My grandson realizes something bad happened. I start thinking of that part in Irons in the Fire "Look at all the blessings in my life" and I just hold him tight! Must appreciate MORE! Time here can be short!!
When it's my time to transcend, they better be playing this song for my transition! I might have to come back and haunt somebody if they don't. ; ) Thank you dear Lady T for your beautiful voice and your positivity in your songs. You are so very loved and missed.
"I'm a different kind of person. Blacks and whites don't really react in any special way to me. I don't get anything negative from blacks and not really anything negative from whites now. But I will say it was different before I started getting some popularity. I don't think it was prejudice from whites as much as ignorance of something they didn't know much about. You know, I wish I was colorless sometimes." -- TM 1980
The beauty of any good song in this case De Ja Vu By Teena Marie is that in as much as lady T is gone,it's songs like this that bring about memories and serve to remind us how powerful music is as a tool to bring people together,express feelings.
Thank you mikeejaylove for this upload..Lady T will always be dear to those of us who love and appreciate her music.
Teena! I miss you so much! At first I would like to say that every one's comments on this page is truly with compassion an deep love for what your spirit has issused through out your singing career. Your loving and uncanny voice and how you incorporated in peoples hearts is beyond belief. As a person with a seemly good heart you have truly given me a total change in my life in 1979 when I was 13. coming from hell to listening to this song has been everlasting heaven! I will always love you!!!!!
Don't u know when u die don't u know u will come back again/ In the master's plan, you will come back woman or man. If your life is full of sin don't u know when u die u will come back again!
I thank God! I thank God! I thank God! I am not coming back no more!! I've been here before. I thank God! I thank God! I thank God! (I don't want to come back no more!)
I love this song. It does something to me, to my soul. I feel just like this sometimes.
