If only I could get thru just one of her songs w/o tears drowning my face. Well, this is not one of them. Thanks for sharing this even tho you've made me cry:)
Teena Marie gets inside a song like noboby & incomparable as composer, musician, performer and that sublime incredible voice hits the heights and goes to the depth of a song and takes you on a musical journey that you don't want to end...gone too soon, this magnificent artist we will never see the likes of again...love and prayers to Alia Rose, your mama is the ultimate! "Sapphire" is a masterpiece...
Too Many Great One's To Leave in 2010 R.I.P Teena Marie, Ollie Woodson of The Temptation, Teddy Pendergrass, And Ron Banks of the Dramatics All These People Can Sang There Butts Off
this gives me goosebumps all over my body...I cry. she was here before and will always be....will look for her in paradise...i hope she lets me play bass for her!
This short bitch can sing her ass off!!! If I had that voice people would kick my ass because I would never shut the hell up! But I wouldn't give a damn 4real. I would be like fuck yall enjoy da show bitches!
If you did not see Teena Marie at Pecahanga Casino in Temecula , CA on Friday, May 23, 2008 you missed it. She put it down! She took it to chocolate city and back ! The band and the back up singers were the bomb !!!
Teena Marie penned some the most beautiful songs i've ever heard in my life. She is all about black/white who cares? Nothing was given to her she earned it. Who lyrically in this industry can step to the Queen of Venice Harlem? One of the greatest female singers/song-writers ever!!!
Auggiefan are you a musician? No? Take from someone who plays a few instruments. She one of the greatest vocalist in history. Her range and clever control is as precise a laserbeam, just incredible. I can't really think of anyone out their who could top her, match her maybe, but not top her vocal wizardry. Not to mention the soul power of the tone of her voice.
No I didn't. I'm 34 and have been a lifelong fan of hers. She's one of the most underrated singers of all-time and BET should've honored her years ago. How many kids were conceived over the years with songs of hers playing in the background?
I agree i so thank god that ive got to watch one of the greatest artist come and grace me with her voice. There will never be another such great and timeless music. I can play her music and its so timeless to me.. I cant do that that with to many artist without me think..man this is tired and worn out..I dont get that with MAMA TEE
I agree rozellez soul is within the individual. Teena is one of me all time favorite female vocalist along with Whitney Houston, Joss Stone and of course Patti. Not to take anything from Christina, Monica or Jennifer Hudson which all or great real singers. Not to lose focus but soul in within and has absolutely nothing to do with black, white or in Teena's case Hispanic. Yes that's right, Teena is actually Latino if you all did know.
I just recently went to see teena in san bernardino,ca. and she sang fire and desire ,only her part, the lights fell dim,and i truly believe everyone felt at that moment ,the great loss of Rick James.I will never forget it or Teena and Rick.
Blacks and whites have diffrent vocals so yes she sounds white. Buts he is not Celine Deon, Christina Auguleria (however you spell her name) She will put them to shame. Girl can sing and has soul. Sounds better then these other so called R&B singers.
Amazing 30 years later and people still discuss her style and color (or lack of) if you mention Teena Marie. Teena is unique, she is her own person and sings her own style, the same as she did 30 years ago. There is room in the world for all kinds of talent, Teena Marie included. Not every artist can be compartmentalized.
talk about a classic soul singer. I agree it dont matter about the color, God gave her some powerful vocal cords. It is so good that she is still around sharing her gift with us. I believer Teena, Patti& Stephanie Mills are my 3 favorites.
I fell ya bro, They are my top 3 as well. Teena and Patti actually sang on Pamela Williams cd called Songstress, I think.. They recorded that Quincy Jones song Secret Garden. It was tight.
Teena's body may be white but her soul is black trust me. She even states how much she was influenced by her black godmother and her experience with the black community. Black or white it doesn't matter, she is one of the BEST
Teena Marie does sound sincerely about soul music, not contrived at all. But yes, she does sound quite white in terms of vocal sound. Her vibrato still sounds like the spin cycle on an electric dryer. Still, I think she's talented.
Teena is the queen , my favorite female singer ever....She got skillz and she can give so much feeling to a song like no one else.I´ve got over 4000 records and CD´s, so i know what i´m talking about.
Truly, I love this woman. Teena Marie is my drop down all time most fa-vor-right artist of all time! Truly, you go girl. Thank you RNYK for posting this.
Miss Teena so much! Check out our the The Teena Marie Tribute cover this song:
