I saw Rick James and Tina Marie at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas 38 years ago it was known as the concert of the summer I was literally leaning on the stage watching Rick perform and when Teena Marie came out she brought down the house! I will never forget how listening to her voice made me feel that night so long ago. What an amazing voice amazing Spirit amazing energy and all-around amazing human being she was. She is loved and so greatly missed.She has a very very special place in my heart . God bless you Teena and Rick may you both rest in peace. You will always live inside of our hearts .
I already loved her music, but when she made a song with Gerald Levert who is my favorite male singer ( how can you call a rose by any other name). Well that did it she became my favorite female singer. Now its funny cause my husband is so in love with her and me with Gerald , when we are riding in the car going anywhere we play their song and say they are our real husband and wife. Love and miss you 2 so much.
what I like about these comments is that there is not one negative thing said about Teena Marie ! and really what negative things can you say about her ? she's always kept it real . she knew that she was white but had a black soul in her. Of all the ladies of funk Chaka Khan , Patrice Rushen etc Teena Marie was definitely the queen of funk R&B ! may you rest in peace our queen !!!
mikshank50 -- Its not fair to her memory to say she has a "blacc soul", she was a beautiful white women... And she was proud to be white--no need to discredit her, fam... She was just the best at what she did.
mikshank50 Chaka khan was the Queen of funk. Also Patrice Rushen doesn’t get enough credit for writing, playing instruments and singing soul. I love my Tina, but Chaka is the Queen of that title period. She did it before Tina in the 70’s. Stop discrediting other black women, because if you want to know the truth Tina got her soul influence from black women.
Her daughter is so beautiful, she carries all of Teena's features but with a tan. She's well grounded too, which is more than I can say for some celebrities children. Many of them are a hot mess, looks like Teena did a good job raising her daughter.
@@picoharmotimpo a mail carrier❓❓❓...just say the mailman came to the door...he was black....she wanted to be black and she was drunk,high or both...end of story🥴🥴🥴....
I graduated High School in 1979 and that's when Tina first hit the radio...I fell in love with her voice and musical talent...Tina and Phyllis Hyman are my favorite performers!
That is so true. People sometimes get the idea that people like us that really engage/enjoy the music we grew up on in school,are overly emotional/dramatic when the person dies, til they make you think you are crazy.Not so at all. Really feel for her daughter.,I lost my mother to cancer at age 10, and she was 40.
Some people are going way ahead of their time unfortunately. So much great musicians Marvin Gaye Donny Hathaway Rick James Teena Marie. Teena Marie was the only white girl or person that was allowed on a black radio station WDAS 105.3 out of Philadelphia. Being a white woman myself I was listening to R&B what everybody else was listening to rock and roll. So I was about 17 or 18 years old when I started listening to WDAS FM. And that's where I found my true love and music. And that's where I got all my rhythm from I've been told I have more Rhythm than some people well I used to not anymore in my head I still do though. I think they call Tina Marie The Ivy Queen and lady T of course she had a unique style and in a unique voice thank God to Rick James to notice and bring out the best friend Tina Marie. Loved and missed by many but will never be forgotten as long as your music is playing Tina Marie will live on
Teena Marie!!!😘 she had soul and she was very loved in my household in my community we still play her records😔😔😍😍 OK LADY TEE, YOU KNOW TATS ME!!!!!!😍😍😍
OMG Teena Marie, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin and all the other greats had a gift that can't be bought or taught, I'm speaking of God given talent. I honestly believe that everyone is unique but in different ways, some ppl go through a lifetime and never discover what it is that makes them exceptional. Love you forever Teena
My wife and I have Many great nights thanks to this band it sets satisfaction in our nights together. Thank you Rick James and Teena Marie plus the rest of the band are true Legends.. and will always be remembered
This white woman is a long-time fan, starting back when I was in high school and loved her immediately! Heard Square Biz and I was hooked! Loved Rick James as well and while all my friends were rocking out, I was dancing and jammin to soul and R&B with my black friends.
I grew up dancing with Teena Marie. Dance hustle, Latin hustle ,free style to her music. I hear her music, I start to dance and bring back memories. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Teena embodied diversity! She understood it, lived it and in turn shared with all of us the idea that no matter who you are or where you come from and whatever tone your skin, we can find soul and incorporate it in our lives. She is missed sorely
The only thing Negative was that outfit Al Green was wearing my goodness! who Dressed that man that Day,! 👜👢😂 They went a little too funky back in the Day,Lol😂😂😂
Missed, smiling laughing, crying emotional mess! Love, Tina her beautiful voice, her voice was so, amazing she should of tried Opera!!! Passed to soon……… 🌟 💫 🌺 🌸 🎤 🎵 Rest In Peace!….
Teena Marie was our greatest Black singer as soul just range so beautiful out of that Black womans mouth. My favorite songs by her was Lover girl and her later song "If I were your Bell." Teena Marie definitely had many lines of BLACK blood in her which is why she sang so black and soulful. And so Teena Marie was a very light skinned Black woman. As some black people do have a white color as they are very light skinned, and that is what Teena Marie was.
Not that color matters but Teena was white period... Either way Teena was a unique soul singer. I haven't heard any women that sounds like her.. Sucks she passed on.. RIP... Lady T your legacy will live on.
Paul Morrison no woman sounds that same ,no one sounds like Betty Wright ,no one sounds like Patrich rushen ,no one sounds like chakra Kane ,no one sounds like Stephanie mills,no one sounds like Dorothy Moore, no one sounds like Shirley brown ,no one sounds like milly Jackson ,no one sounds like Phyllis hyman,no one sounds like Sharon redd,Cheryl Lynn ,no one sounds like Jean knight,Sylvia striplin,no one sounds like the Jones girls ,the emotions the staple sisters .the list goes on their all unique
I loved this documentary. It brings back so many special memories while listening to Teena. I am from San Francisco, CA and moved to Rockville, MD to attend college and lived with my family. While driving my Uncle Rupert's big Cadillac through their suburban neighborhood, Teena came on the radio singing "Square Biz", I must have cranked up the music as loud as it could go while grooving on wheels. Boy, when I got home, my uncle told me he could hear the music several minutes before I entered the development. He gave me a pass on that one;I guess he remembered what it felt like being young. Teena just made you feel her music, she was RIVETING! I will ALWAYS love Lady T and her music. I would like my daughter, Joy Mariah Curry Christian, a beautiful singer herself, to learn of Lady T's.,history, passion for music and singing, writing and playing instruments. I'm glad to see Teena's daughter, Alia Rose following in her footsteps and making her own music. Rest in peace Lady T.
I'm a white woman & I love Teena's music. I want to get a greatest hits CD. There needs to be a book written about her & a movie but, I don't believe anyone out there could sing like her. They would need to lip sync in the movie.🥰
I am a white woman,and ohhhh my,I love Teena Marie s music. I sing to a lot of her songs and still to this day I love her music 2020. Very talented indeed,rest in peace dear heart. 🙏😭🕯️🛐✝️
By far a Woman who taught to love with all my Heart. That race is just a vicious lie. That forge a path that's original . Teena Marie you are missed but always here .Thank you Lady T !
Teena Marie is so timeless...what a life ... what a story... She truly was blessed with so much talent and a unique unique voice so recognizable not to be duplicated. This mini documentary was so captivating but at the end...I know she passed happy. Her daughter wow, so strong to say goodbye to a great mom...Sing with the Angels now Teena...make some more music because thats what your good at. Peace!
God how I still can't get over her passing!!! She will always be the only singer who has influenced my life, my spirit & my love for bringing people together through music.... miss U Sapphire!!
I remember Teena and Rick James was headlining the BatonRouge State Fair It started raining, the stage fell but they kept singing and we were right at the stage. My sister and I enjoyed it to the max because we weren’t going to concerts... I love Teena and Rick James Her voice is very unique and was everything to us young people..
Tina is one of ours, she was embraced by the Black people and I'm one of them that welcomed her with wide open arms. Her and Stephanie Mills are the greatest of all times
Nobody is like Tina Marie.. I enjoyed all of her music.. my family played Tina Marie.. we love Tina.. sqarebiz oh la la la all of her songs.. Dede Blass the black Madonna
kayteeelle How do you know that? Has she ever spoken about black issues? Has she ever credited other black Women? Has she ever contributed to the black community?
Shenyae T you should research up on Tina Marie she raised 4 black young girls and Rick James son. She has donated and helped raise money for poor families in the American ghettoes. She doesn't tear anyone down but has a loving heart towards her community and all people, without judgment.👏👌🙌❤️
Teena is the most down to earth Realest woman! I met her at Ray Buchanan's 30th birthday in Atlanta when her daughter Alia was just a little girl, I LOVE Teena Marie!
She is such a humble beautiful soul hence why she is such a legend in soul because that is what soul music is all about. It's really beautiful to witness such a loving good person with such immense talent.
Back then,almost anything happened . That is why it was s wild,colorful time.The 1980's had breakdancing ,emergence of rap( the funny,good kind,before it all went violence nonstop.)
She will always be my Idol, If I was to make an album, And she was still living, I would want her to write, arrange, produce, background vocals and all, From the roota to the toota, She is just beyond a genius!!!!
Ivory Queen of Soul! Extremly hiumble, talented, witty, outspoken!!!! Loved and accepted by African Americans who in the beginning couldn't believe how well she could sing. This woman was magic!
Teena Maire, you gave me hope in my experience in dancing. Thank you for your music. You had past, but everytime I hear your music, it's like you are still alive and going strong. Miss you, rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know a true artists by their music. A true artist is someone that writes music not only for fame but to influence, inspire and touch the souls of many. Teena you are a true artist,your poetry and music touched many before,during and after your time and will continue to do so despite your death. Persons like myself who were born long after your big break into the music industry is enjoying and being touched by your songs and ballads. No one can ever be compared to you! You break barriers will continue to do so. Listening to your song let me know you in a way as if you were with me and I don't see any artist that can do that in the sweet, soothing and subtle way you did. You were a pure, soft, talented, blessed and kindred soul that God blessed this world with. Both you and your talent are beyond compare and indescribable. You have fulfilled your purpose which was to bring persons of all colour, race and nationality together in peace through music. Rest in peace Mary Christine Brockert! R.I.P. Lady T
I was Born in the early 90's but i love old school music, an Teena Marie i gotta say is in my top 5 favorites of all time, she blessed up with so much soul that it is still goin today, I wish i could have met you before you passed on, but Rick James came back ta get his Queen, so when you gotta go you gotta go but i'm just so blessed that we had her fa as long as we did, Rest easy Teena, we still miss you.
This brings tears to me because when it comes to being of different descent and Loving and becomming mixed amongst Black Culture is something I understand completely. Love you Lady T.
I Love the fact that she never tried to act black or tried to fit in with black people, she was just so Soulful that we as a black community just excepted she was one of us no doubt about it,she loved our culture,our food,our music. She is and Always will be the Ivory Queen of soul We Love an Miss you Lady Tee Your Music will play in our hearts,an ears For Ever. R.I.P Queen ❤
After hearing my sister and her friends play her in the late 70s, my first full time job in the mid 80s, I went out and bought alllllll of her cassettes that were out! Never mind that it was a half check, since I’d just started working there! I had to get all of her music, immediately! Didn’t think about how ima get to work for the next week. I needed all of her music in my life! Gone too soon. Nothing but respect and love for her, and her immense talent/voice. I think about growing up in East Harlem, Wagner Projects; and, the first time we heard Square Biz, we just knew she was Black! And even though we found out later she wasn’t, it didn’t matter. Her spirit and talent transcends all of that nonsense! Also reminds me of first hearing Lisa Stansfield. I’m rambling now, but I FKn love Teena! Gone too soon… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
God truly has an angel. Teena Marie was one of the classiest performers who was down to earth and very humble. Her and Rick James best collaboration was "fire and desire". Her voice was soulful and she had a range that could touch ur soul. I fully enjoyed the documentary ,she inspired so many people. rEst in peace lady Teena Marie you're sorely missed.
Teens Marie is cool people. Loved how her and Rick James made incredible music together. Just like her daughter said, they were musical soulmates.✌🏽❤🙏🏻Rest in PARADISE Teena Marie and Rick James 🌷🌲🎵
I believe teena was humilliated by the undustry may kill allso by haters why all the good artist all ways ended dead or go to jail as we can see someting is wrong in the industry too many good artist like lady t died y no one can answer y they died to they the industry is corrupt pple keep dieing because off haters an mallocious pple may her soul rest in peace i love her so much
She was defiantly a Power House, WoW... She was the 70s & 80s and more... I so "felt" her music. She was LOVE & SOUL. Lissing to her music NOW still take's me there and breaks me down. Not all past and present have "THAT" Gift. I miss you LADY T. 💞💞💞
She could SAAAANNGGG!!! Her skin never mattered to me. Her talent is undeniable.
Well stated
She had soul💯
That's why skin should never matter at all. It's wonderful to not care.
I need a Teena Marie Movie.
yes, that would be great!
👍
Yes music awesome Cool good Classic music making black music and poet bet award mss
Who would play her?
Dajanna,
Yes!🎯💯💯💯.I hope we all get to see a Teena biopic movie!

Beautifully said!
You act like African Descendants women can't do the same, that's how they made their money riding off of us,but not us
I was thirteen when you were partying at the Aladdin but man do I wish I was at that show. And BTW girl you said that!
Sooooo lucky

Teena Marie is definitely one of the few "black sounding" white artists that never Appropiated black culture.
kayteeelle How do you know that? Has she ever spoken about black issues? Has she ever credited other black Women? Has she ever contributed to the black community?
@@shenyaet3350 she did that and what you mad for teena Marie is still a legen
Shenyae T you should research up on Tina Marie she raised 4 black young girls and Rick James son. She has donated and helped raise money for poor families in the American ghettoes. She doesn't tear anyone down but has a loving heart towards her community and all people, without judgment.👏👌🙌❤️
Appropriating is taking and erasing her and Jon B never took or erased they celebrated and stayed in our culture.

Teena Maire, you gave me hope in my experience in dancing. Thank you for your music. You had past, but everytime I hear your music, it's like you are still alive and going strong. Miss you, rest in peace. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know a true artists by their music. A true artist is someone that writes music not only for fame but to influence, inspire and touch the souls of many. Teena you are a true artist,your poetry and music touched many before,during and after your time and will continue to do so despite your death. Persons like myself who were born long after your big break into the music industry is enjoying and being touched by your songs and ballads. No one can ever be compared to you! You break barriers will continue to do so. Listening to your song let me know you in a way as if you were with me and I don't see any artist that can do that in the sweet, soothing and subtle way you did. You were a pure, soft, talented, blessed and kindred soul that God blessed this world with. Both you and your talent are beyond compare and indescribable. You have fulfilled your purpose which was to bring persons of all colour, race and nationality together in peace through music. Rest in peace Mary Christine Brockert! R.I.P. Lady T
Perfectly said
No body can sing Tena Marie Songs but Tena
I was Born in the early 90's but i love old school music, an Teena Marie i gotta say is in my top 5 favorites of all time, she blessed up with so much soul that it is still goin today, I wish i could have met you before you passed on, but Rick James came back ta get his Queen, so when you gotta go you gotta go but i'm just so blessed that we had her fa as long as we did, Rest easy Teena, we still miss you.
There will only be ONE and ONLY ONE Teena Marie in this entire world. I miss her music so much. RIP our queen.
This brings tears to me because when it comes to being of different descent and Loving and becomming mixed amongst Black Culture is something I understand completely. Love you Lady T.
I Love the fact that she never tried to act black or tried to fit in with black people, she was just so Soulful that we as a black community just excepted she was one of us no doubt about it,she loved our culture,our food,our music.
She is and Always will be the Ivory Queen of soul
We Love an Miss you
Lady Tee
Your Music will play in our hearts,an ears For Ever.
R.I.P Queen ❤

Carla Linton. Rest In Peace My White Soul Sista Teena Marie. May God bless Your Soul.
After hearing my sister and her friends play her in the late 70s, my first full time job in the mid 80s, I went out and bought alllllll of her cassettes that were out! Never mind that it was a half check, since I’d just started working there! I had to get all of her music, immediately! Didn’t think about how ima get to work for the next week. I needed all of her music in my life! Gone too soon. Nothing but respect and love for her, and her immense talent/voice. I think about growing up in East Harlem, Wagner Projects; and, the first time we heard Square Biz, we just knew she was Black! And even though we found out later she wasn’t, it didn’t matter. Her spirit and talent transcends all of that nonsense! Also reminds me of first hearing Lisa Stansfield. I’m rambling now, but I FKn love Teena! Gone too soon… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your comment
I understand your Lisa Stansfield comment but, Lady T was on a different level.
She was such an inspiration. I miss her voice and artistry. She had soul periodt.
Teena Marie was a pioneer in soul music and she never pretended about her
Inspirations in black music and her music was proof of how funky she was in the business square biz!
what a soul legend....color does not matter.....she was great
God truly has an angel. Teena Marie was one of the classiest performers who was down to earth and very humble. Her and Rick James best collaboration was "fire and desire". Her voice was soulful and she had a range that could touch ur soul. I fully enjoyed the documentary ,she inspired so many people. rEst in peace lady Teena Marie you're sorely missed.
This is a beautiful tribute, so glas I was able to see it.
She was a wonderful musician and performer!!!!
I love Teena ..She's too real! #rip #originalwhitechocolate

Shanice Wilson, too! Wow....what a beautiful voice.,...and Teena Marie as her mentor....she would be so proud of this young lady! RIP Teena Marie ♥️🙏
Hands down, my lifetime favorite female singer 🙏🏾 Rest in Heaven Lady T ❤
I'm feeling this documentary also, and when she spoke about your soul, I felt as if her and I shared the same soul.
