Teena Marie - "Deja Vu (I've Been Here Before)"

This is a wonderful song from Teena Marie's first album "Wild & Peaceful"


It is a standout track. It has Teena's amazing vocals singing with pride about being a queen of people of many colors and being different people in different lifetimes.

I had first heard this song at exe's friends house not knowing what it was. I finally found it. This song is so beautiful

touched

Song Review by Andrew Hamilton
So beautiful, the flipside of Tina Marie's first single, "I'm Just a Sucker for Your Love," was a favorite in its own right on urban stations and bar jukeboxes when released in 1979. Tina sings the enchanting, reflective lyrics about being here before to the sounds of ocean waves, a sweet strumming rhythm guitar, a perky flute, a sterling saxophone run, and ultra soulful female voices.



Sorry Im on a Teena Marie fix. Been listning to the first 4 albums back to back respectively.

I love that version. Teena and The Stone City Band were a great combination.

If you like that one then listen to Out on a Limb by Teena. I think it is on her Starchild album. It is slamming also.
