It usually makes me wanna cry.

That's Shadow Dancing,you're talking about.
I'm talking about the Teena Marie song.

Portuguese Love for me. Awww...the way Lady T speeds up the song just almost at the end into a latin jam complete with the sexy sax solo and with Slick Rick and Teena having some sensual dialogue, makes this a bonafide classic.

Hmmm..
Maybe I just should've started a Shadow Boxing appreciation thread and left Portuguese Love out of it.

Shadow Boxing by a mile!!!! I love Portuguese Love, but there's something about SB that's just musically superior to my ears...and more romantic. Sorry PL fans. SB is probably my ultimate fav Lady T song anyway, so maybe I'm just biased.

Don't you just love the tempo changes in that song? And how she says "Do I have to break it down..." towards the end? God, I LOVE this song!! Wish I had it on me here at work to jam to.

Shadow Boxing's an extremely underrated gem that's on the "Robbery" album, recently remastered back in '03 or '04. It can also be found on one or more of her greatest hits compilations (for sure on her "Lovergirl: The Teena Marie Story" GH CD).

Damn, what a major faux pas on my part. I meant "Robbery", too. I'm thinking of my other favorite Lady T song, "Yes Indeed"! Sorry for the mixup. Can I have my fan club card back, please? smile

Wasn't this album just remastered, too? I remember reading a while back it was coming out this summer! Did it come out yet? I love this album to death! "Stop The World" & "Cassanova Brown" are two of my other favs from this LP!! Gotta find the remastered CD to update my collection!

start with It Must Be Magic.

it was the companion disc to rick james' street songs. it helped make the summer of 1981 the best of my teenage life. The temptations were on both and you couldn't play one without the other.
