Wow I'm so bad at this...

instead of giving my friends her watered down Greatest Hits I decided to put all her most upbeat and funky stuff (the sole criteria for this) on one 80min cd which is pretty difficult. I'd normally compile it chronolgicaly but almost every song has such a great intro which makes each a worthy opener so in no particular order (even though I numbered them) this is what I've come up with...

1) I Need Your Lovin'
2) Lips To Find You
3) Once Is Not Enough
4) Shangri-La
5) Lovergirl
6) Help Young Blood Get To The Freaky Party
7) Jammin'
8) Starchild
9) It Must Be Magic
10 I'm a Sucker For Your Love
11) Don't Look Back
12) Behind The Groove
13) Square Biz

I was also considering putting in Out on a Limb, Batucada Suite, You Make Love Like Springtime (reprise), Chains, or maybe the live versions of I'm a Sucker for Your Love and Square Bz from Street Songs Deluxe Edition. Of couse I wouldn't fit all that on one cd but so indecisive am I when it comes to making compilations that I wouldn't know what to leave off. Most likely to go would probably be Don't Look Back, Behind The Groove, or Shangri-La.

As I love them all so much I find this whole ordeal almost impossible. Notice how I didn't even included anything off Robbery (have only listened to it once so far) or Ivory (still waiting for it to arrive) so this may eventually become impossible.

So please, any suggestions? All will be considered and could go a long way to gaining Teena Marie a new generation of fans

You have to include "Cassonova Brown" from the Robbery album and "Fix it'... also "Portugese Love" and "Square Biz" has to be in any Lady T bests, before some of those on your list because these are some of greatest songs!

this board has been all about the Teena lately!

don't forget her 1988 jam "Work It"

GREAT THREAD...

Yeah, how about "Revolution", "Square Biz",
"Since Day One" (hope I got that last title right).

You could probably make a 20 song CD of her best slow jams too...

"Yes Indeed"

If ya want another good one is 365, but I dont know how addictive that is to sum other stuff u got on there.


I need sum OLD TEENA> Man I heard this one jazzy slow jam from her first or second album at my ex's friends house one time...MAN it was unbelieveable the soul.

They should remaster that.
