where to start with Teena Marie I got Rick James' Street Songs Deluxe album where Teena Marie appears on Fire and Desire and performs I'm a Sucka For Love & Square Biz on the live disc.
They're probably my 3 favourite songs on the album..what a voice! So what albums/compilations of hers should I get? Is the Motown 14 Greatest Hits any good? This was the only Teena album I could find in the whole of Dublin but the guy in the record store said the cd was missing and to come back tomorrow. | |
