They should do a movie on her. Taraji p. Henson would be perfect to play her. May she rest in peace 🕊️
Yes indeed
Taraji is perfect choice!!!
Christie Michelle looks more like Tammy. Chrisette the phone changed my correct spelling.
Taraji or Tamala Jones
@@lepoetress Yelp forgot about Tamala Jones. Another good choice 👍🏽
I like that her mother allowed only Marvin Gaye to attended her funeral because Marvin really cared about Tammi.
That's real. I think he really loved that lady man
It was rumored that he sacrificed her.
Smokey Robinson was also allowed to attend. David Ruffin was allowed to visit her before she lasped into her coma.
@@daphneytennard3267If so, I guess that's why he felt so guilty about her death.
@@daphneytennard3267 What do you mean he sacrificed her?
The worst part of being exposed to sex too early is that it either makes you promiscuous or shutdown. Either way, you are forever changed and it kills the person you could’ve been. It’s a crime that so many families just ignored sexual abuse in the home or relative homes and expect girls to just get over it or worse, blamed them for it. When you know a crime has been committed against you and no one gets punished, it ruins your self esteem.
She was assaulted
They didn’t even think of it as a crime
I tell you that a lot of people will have a lot to answer to the Lord Jesus Christ the righteous on the day of judgement and you can't lie to the heavenly master he sees and knows all you have done while you were on earth
@@maryrobertsrobertsmary3902 That doesn't seem to sway all of the people who still think highly of David Ruffin and James Brown
She only lived 24 years , wow. Didn't know she was so young
Right! Like wow
She was an old soul.
May God Rest Her Soul...she was one of a kind !! Beautiful, Talented and too sweet for the evil of this world. She deserved so much better.
Her beauty and light was too much for insecure and inferior men, so they tried to beat it out of her to break her spirit. Envious of her enchanting femininity. Her story is heart-wrenching and the industry is not for the pure of heart. 💔💜
I agree it breaks my heart because my mother went through the same thing. God please protect females all over the world amen
Absolutely! She was a rare breed. Unfortunately the men she was involved with were broken, insecure, and immature. They could not handle someone with that kind of light. May God continue to allow her to rest well 🙏🏽💐
@@lisascott-london55 🙏🏽
Today sadly Nina alot of women in music go through the exact same thing or worse.
As expected, only women commenting with this "Insecure" nonsense. They were the ones who were better known than she was! They were simply abusive men. She was promiscuous and was drawn to them by their money and fame. I am sure those same men were with less famous women and did the same - abused them.
Tammi was the love of Marvin Gaye’s life
It’s so sad they never got the chance to be together due to so
many obstacles in
their way May God
Bless the both of them in Heaven 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
💚💚🌻
Tammi and Marvin both suffered in their childhoods maybe that’s why they had that trauma bond . Extremely talented humans .. Now both in peace … Thank you for the music 🎶
Tammi and Marvin was a match made in heaven. They are together again in heaven. I'll never forget the day she died the world lost a beautiful and talented gifted young lady she was Marvin's world.
Your comment leads me to believe that you have no concept of the qualification for someone to be in heaven.
@@seaor2k122exactly.
@@seaor2k122How do you know they didn’t have a relationship with the Father?
@jaquaveonandress649 I don't know. What I do know is that Marvin's lifestyle did not portray him as a born-again Christian. He was heavily into drugs, and he beat up his father, and his father shot him in self-defense. In terms of Tammy, I was too young and don't remember her. Hopefully, she repented before her death.
@@seaor2k122 exactly.
She was beautiful and talented. She touched many lives in her short time here. Gone way too soon.
After her death ,Marvin Gaye did not record any music for five years. I read accounts that James Brown and David Ruffin were abusive to her. Tammi and Marvin will always be the greatest duet of all time. I have been listening to Motown music coming out of the womb! 😊. I was a child at the time and was and is always happy to hear the music of Motown. My sister gifted me a 4 CD set called Hitsville USA ,Christmas 2003. One of the best gifts she's ever given me!😆😆😆😆
Marvin gay went into a state of depression because the whole motown sat around and watched her get beat up by 2 men! And her mom gave her to Barry Gordy and said PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY BABY, SHE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH TRAUMA. THEY PROMISED HER MOTHER THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT MINOR CHILD. THEN THEY SENT HER HOME IN A BODY BAG!!!!!!!
@@julianathompson173 🎯
@@julianathompson173well said. And so true.
Yup constantly hitting her in her head 😢
Marvin Gaye recorded. He went like 5 or 6 years without doing concerts after she collapsed in his arms
A movie should be made based on her LIFE 🧬🎉 it was short but not that short... LOVE YOU.. ,🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
Agreed! With Taraji Henson as Tammy.
I also 👍🏾 AGREE... Ms. Henson is a Excellent Choice.. I've Seen EVERYTHING She Act in...
Starting With BABY BOY!!!
@@EarthSeed1111too old now.
@@moni1952 dang. Good point.
@@moni1952 True...she's now 53 y.o! Still looks great though and with the magic of cinema, she could be transformed to look younger?
She lived such the life in a very short time. She had an angelic aura and voice that will never be forgotten. 😢🎉❤
Old soul. Older men always took advantage of little girls. If u go back to the 50's u will find our grandparents and great grandparents had their first child by older men!!!!!! They're was no such LAW AS UNDER AGED. YOU WERE RAISED TO BE A WIFE. You were groomed to cook clean and have babies.
Gone but never forgotten 😢 💔
NEVER!🔥
They really need to do a biopic on her…..It would be very interesting
I was a very young lad when I first learned of Tammi Terrel. My mother had an album of her and Marvin Gaye featuring "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." I was infatuated with her beautiful voice and lovely face from then on. I was saddened upon hearing her demise. RIP Tammi
I love me some Tammi Terrell her looks, her voice! She was REMARKABLY BEAUTIFUL! She passed tooo young!! Her & Marvin Gaye the Pioneers of A Woman & Man Singing Duo!! 👫🎤🎤
Not just a beautiful lady and talented singer but was intelligent as well. Enrolled as a Pre Med Student at the University of Pennsylvania she was in her second year when she left to pursue musical interests…
R.I.P BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS QUEEN THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful lady! Always thought and still believe today she and Marvin were and still are the best Duo’s. Both were very beautiful and talented
I wish someone would have taken her illness seriously and taken care of her
If only the treatment was advanced back then she would be here 💐🙏🏽
Such a gorgeous, lovely, GOD gifted, talented, intelligent treasure!!!!!! Tami/Marvin was Motown!!!!! We all loved Ms. Terell/Motown!! Sleep in peace Ms. Terell!!!!
I always loved she and Marvin singing "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing." They had such chemistry.
When I listen to her voice, it sends chills down my spine, because she was and is very talented. Matched by her beauty, she is a true Motown legend. May Tammi continue to rest in peace.
24 is just way to young for anyone to die. No doubt she would have been larger than life.
A kid when she and Marvin had their heyday, even as a kid I knew they had something special, there hasn't been a duo like them since, so sad she had to suffer the way she did, the music she and Marvin made will last for eternity...
With a voice and beauty she was God's gift to man. She sang and sang. Her smile could calm the beast in any man. She is missed but she lives on in memory. May the Supreme Power in whom we pray... be as pleased with her soul and we were with her presence.
James Brown and David Ruffin Didn't Deserve her. I Hear She was just as Beautiful on the Inside as She was on the Outside. May God Rest Her Soul and Give Her Eternal Peace. Rest On Ms. Tammy.
Exactly. David Ruffin and James Brown were abusive to women ..she was way too good for them..
Man sdfu David ain’t really do shii to her y’all quick to judge mfs off a rumor
@@slimelifekj5155 david had an abusive father and became an abusive adult. Do your research and this is coming from the biggest temptation fan!
@@heyheylistennow your not tho
There was actually another man, an executive/song writer for Motown that she was allegedly dating after David & he was just as abusive as the rest. It was said that one night they had a disagreement at a show, & he beat her something wicked in a dressing room & proceeded to throw a chair at her in the heat of the moment, that chair was metal & it ended up hitting her in the head. That was the beginning of the end of Tammi, because the executive was a married man very lil is said about him other than he worked very closely with Gordy!
Tammi was such a beautiful woman who had to grow up very fast and it was so unfortunate that she had to endure so much so young ❤😢😢😢 Rest in peace to such a talented soul🎼
To hear more details of her life & what she brought to the music industry is bittersweet. Tammi Terrell's life isn't to be mourned but celebrated as the narrator mentioned. Goals any of us set can be achieved when faced with multiple adversities. #celebration_of_legacy💐♥
I knew she was from Philadelphia. I had always wondered if she knew Patti labelle. I did some research and found out that they were real good friends.
Wasnt Billie Holiday from Philly? 😢
Yes, Billie Holiday was from Philadelphia too.
Fly high Ms. Terrell ❤ never to be forgotten
Wow! That’s Some sad stuff, but life is tough, she rose up to do great things. God bless her. She deserves peace.
I GREW UP IN THAT ERA, AND THIS SO SO SAD!!!
I love the part at 11:21 where she reaches and grabs his hand. You can see the connection between them that you only have from a soul mate that isn't always necessarily a romantic one. From what my father told me Marvin was a choir boy prior to her passing. It changed him and put his personal life in a downward spiral. He was never the same. I hope they're together now.
I think they were platonic friends and not sexually attracted to each other for whatever reasons Marvin was weird and effeminate and Tammi liked rough very masculine men
@@DorisKeith-v5j It was platonic. But they seemed to love each other intensely.
Tammi was groovey and soulful. She was a goddess.
She was so smart, but emotionally, no one protected her.😢😮
Very beautiful and talented. I was 10 years old when she died. I cried because I loved her music and her duet with Marvin Gaye. They are singing in Heaven.
Beautiful Lady with a Beautiful voice.. Very sad story 🎙🎤🎵🎶
Tammi is and was a Beautiful lady that smile of hers is just one of a kind, When I look at that video with her and Marvin ain't no mountain high enough I just look at her expressions while she's singing I said look at that, That's a lady right there❤.
I love that video! They look so perfect together.
I think there is a correlation between being beaten, especially on your head, that can cause brain tumors. My grandmother died of a benign brain tumor the day before her 49th birthday. She was abused most of her life with my grandfather beating her horribly. She had headaches, too, and fainting spells. Had the quack she was seeing diagnosed her properly, she'd likely be alive today.
Beautiful and her and Marvin omg were the best for me as duets ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love ❤
She was gone way too soon she was beautiful talented 😭😭😭 RIP Tammi Terrell
She and Marvin Gaye both had very tragic outcomes in life, but left behind a legacy that we will never forget. Thanks Tammi. RIP
Whoever is doing these videos is great! Such a different view and respect given to the lives of these people even in the negativity. Hearing about her having headaches most of her life, it's a shame she got so used to them that she never went to get a full diagnosis. The tumor had probably grown since childhood. And her going from guy to guy is a symptom of her abuse and then being in that industry. She did a lot in her short years, except sadly never got herself healed physically or emotionally until it all crashed before the age of 25.😔
We appreciate the positive feedback 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! More Coming! 💪
It's now known that domestic violence can cause traumatic brain injuries or TBI because of repeated physical beatings, mostly in the head. Tammi's story fits the profile of someone with TBI, which causes a devastating chain reaction of other health issues. TBI is not just athletes or accident victims, but anyone who suffered severe and/or numerous blows to the head is vulnerable.
I heard this story about Tammi Terrell. She was beautiful . The industry dogged her out. She was young and naive. Her father did not protect her ….and shame on James Brown for abusing her the way he did. There is no truth she was promiscuous after being raped.
Actually it's unfortunately true. It happens. After a brutal rape some women become promiscuous, others asexual
Tammi was young and hot don't kid yourself fam... most young sisters are at that age...
Don't forget David Ruffin also played a role in her abuse.
It's a known fact that this could be an outcome and was for her so stay and you clearly don't know shit
@@darkmanxxx8810did you overlook the reason why or just wanna talk shit about a woman. She wasn't like that for nothing!
R.I.P. Beautiful talented Tammi Terrell🙏🏽 👼🏽
I wish she would have stuck to going to college...smh IDC what ruffin's son gotta say, DAVID WAS ABUSIVE!
Hell david abused tf out of his mother
VERY!! He hit her in the head with a motorcycle helmet. Her mother was convinced that David Ruffin was responsible for her headaches 😢😢😢😢😢
The rumor was that David Ruffin hit Tammi in the head with a hammer. He said "No. I wouldn't do that. I'm not crazy. It was a motorcycle helmet". Whata POS
@@mongoslade277 honestly!! Like hitting her with a motorcycle helmet was better. He should have kept his hands to himself. Disgusting POS
Tammi was a beautiful soul. Imagine she would have been 79 years old now, had she lived. Her partnership with Marvin was one of the best pairings that has been unmatched to this day. Both of their lives were too short lived, but I am so glad that we had them for the period of time that we did. Rest in peace Beautiful souls. You are both loved and missed forever ❤
'My love is alive, way down in my heart, although we are miles apart.....'
❤❤❤
Shout-out Queen
Tammi Terrell Beautiful & Talented !!!
Tammi had a beautiful voice/was very talented. It's a shame that she had to endure the physical abuse. From James/David (May she Rip).
Why did she have to endure it and why didn't some one prosecute them? Not being snide but really want to know
James Brown saw his mother being tragically abused by his father, according to the movie on his life. The mother walked down a long dirt road as she was forced to leave young James behind ( with nothing but a raggedy suitcase of clothing), after suffering years of abuse. Young James was calling out to his mother, but she was told she had better not even look back... according to the movie. Of course this is no excuse for his constant physical abuse of women.
Unless there is psychological intervention, men that grew up in homes of domestic violence , usually grow up to be abusive. It's perpetual for generations.
These old films are largely skewed and almost miss out the facts that women and men who are on drugs are toxic and violent
Thank you for this very heart warming, wonderful and sometimes heart breaking story of such a beautiful, and sweet extremely gifted young woman ,may she rest in peace ,love and remembrance.
Such a sad story.
Great documentary. I didn't know there was this much info about Tammy. Subscribed.
We appreciate the positive feedback 🙏
Glad you enjoyed! Welcome to the family!
Please Taraji P.H. go get your Academy/Oscar award by playing this beautiful iconic figure in Tammi Terrell ❤️❤️
It's extremely distasteful to hear stories about how these women back in the day was treated. Whatever the psychology behind her choosing to be promiscuous, doesn't readily make her a punching bag or some kind of door mat to walk on. It's interesting to hear folk come up with reasoning for others behavior, yet you will *never hear *most come up with *good solutions that will aid with that which they're *actually going through.
Watch till the end
Nobody said she deserved to be abused. This is an attempt to explain her psychology so that she can be better understood.
She was clearly molested a child...SMFH
You clearly misunderstood because that portion was about her thought process.. Don't speak on someone else speaking wrong while being wrong
@ebonyharris5412 whether you feel I misunderstood or not is irrelevant. As what I said goes beyond whatever you're talking about. Try that quality of psychology elsewhere.
Such a wonderful variety of pictures of the gorgeous Tammi.
I loved her duets with Marvin Listen to them all the time Marvin never got over her death Both were so talented and left a great void on the history of music. God bless their memory
Yeah Tammy had a hard time with relationship's and it kinda messed her up she was a sweet girl and very talented singer she had to fight her way through this life she was so pretty and talented she's deeply missed but never forgotten she is a ⭐
We miss you Tammi Terrell, ….
Awwww thank you for this one I will forever love Tammy Terrell ❤ her story was so tragic she die so young and the men that were in her life accept marvin gaye were so dammm horrible in so many ways! Her voice & beauty will never die even today iam a supporter of Tammmy❤ I love this channel and your voice so lovely
Except.
I absolutely 💯% loved her voice especially her duets with Marvin Gaye. I asked my Mother several years back what became of her. She told me that she died from a brain tumor. But I had read a lot about her being constantly abused by men. They wanted to control her because of her phenomenal beauty & talented. Its as if they wanted to posess her... Like a prized possession but hated her for the very attributes that she held. That's so sick and toxic 😪
We wore black armbands for a week when she died. And it’s true, Marvin was never the same again after Tammi .
We gone ignore da fact James brown was 29 n she was 16, 17 🤣
I cringe when people speak fondly of James Brown
I find it hard, as I love his music...
He was a thug
Eternal peace
Terell and Gaye were one of the greatest duos since Astaire and Rogers. Total magic.
Taraji p Hanson would have been great playing Tammi
Wow! You are soooo right, the face and complexion is spot on!!
It was also rumored that James Brown was one the abuser 😢
I read the same thing. I believe the book was a biography about James Brown. Sad.
DAVID RUDFIN OF THE TEMPTATIONS ,HE ABUSED HER ALSO.
Yes that’s true it was on Unsung
THE NARRATION MENTIONED JAMES BROWN'S ALLEGED MISTREATMENT OF HER. HE WAS KNOWN TO BE CONTROLLING.
@@oldwarriorlife Short ugly men + pretty women = napoleon complex = insecurity + abusive behaviour.
I was young then but she had the most beautiful voice and with Marvin best love ballet miss but never forgotten ❤ love you and Marvin
.
She was a beauty and a brain and top singer.
Omg chrisette Michelle looks like a. Reincarnation of the
Initial picture showed of her in color….RIP Queen 👑🙏🏽
James Brown put Tammi in the hospital more than once, and every time with broken bones. The abuse from both Brown and Ruffin were thought to maybe have contributed to her brain tumor.
Damn I almost cried watching this she literally went through hell but now she’s in heaven rest in peace
Beautiful Lovely Lady Tammi Terrell.
Her and Marvin Gaye together was magic there has never been another duo like it - the music is beautiful and timeless “ain’t nothing like the real thing” such a beautiful song
She Is a Very Rare Talent Singer of all
Gotta be the saddest story in Motown 😭
She was beautiful rest in paradise queen
What a short, hard life filled with tragedy that she was able to consistently overcome and blossom! So extremely talented and loving! RIP Tammi and continue to sing and have joy in heaven!
Miss Tammi those around her could hear her always humming/singing to herself.
I miss Tammy and Marvin
I've always wondered why? Women like this with a heart warm and passionate had problems with men that abused them what I've discovered men who had abuse and other issues dealt with them and sought help with it so in order to deal they took their pain out of them I realize we all have issues that we deal with daily Tammie shouldn't have gone through such treatment but this is the way of the world even today I've found out when you take them to the Lord and work on them with His help you can overcome anything I loved seeing Marvin and Tammie singing together they song great hits together I thought her and Marvin looked great together but later on I found out he had issues as well she was a song bird to me and Marvin had a great voice as well those memories of them two will forever be in my heart they are truly missed ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
So sad. She was a beautiful girl with an incredible voice.
I love to hear Tammy sing.
