No arguments. She's always gotten praise here. You really got be more specfic. Talk about an album or something. I honestly only have the last two albums. Good but I really should get some classic Teena.

Don;t know why...never bought the last 2. Though a friend gave me a copy to see if I would like it so I can buy it. But to be honest, haven't even plugged it in. Nothing beats classic Teena. Fav Teena song: YES INDEED!!!!

Well the gap between albums and her musical heyday is there, yes. I don't know that I would recomend them to a fan of the old stuff. They do have a lot of soul but bring nothing new to table (in fact, she tries a bit too hard to be be hip-hop on "La Dona" when it not crowded with too soft R&B). "Sapphire" is a little more upbeat in sound but isn't excatly setting the dance floor on fire the way "Sqaure Biz" or "I Need Your Lovin'" does (in fact, not even close). Both are a little bit too slick but still worth a listen.

I know what you mean all too well. My fav jam is 365. I used to roller skate to that one all the time. LMAO

I'm not familar with that one.

It's on the It Must Be Magic album:

You are the seed and the grain of every harvest
planted in love by a being far beyond this
What can it be?
Such a sweet yet painful feeling,
came over me?

CHORUS
Knowing this can never be,
do I love you? Yes indeed.

I am the bird which cannot be caged completely,
even though I long to spread my wings so bittersweetly.
What will I do ?
Shall I hold my love in Silence
Wonder if you feel it too.

CHORUS
Knowing this can never be,
does it hurt me? Yes indeed.

BRIDGE
I've heard it said that all is fair in love and war,
but tell it like it is, does the distance hide the scar
Living our lives all alone, changing,
never really knowing what games we're playing(oh baby),
Laughing when we should have both been praying
(living, I'm living a lie)

You are the rush and the flow of every river,
soft as the touch of love when you want to be the giver.
How do I know
I guess I just imagined
Painfully so

CHORUS
Knowing this can never be,
do I love you? Yes indeed

You Broke my spirit
All those nights I cried

Do I love you? Yes indeed.


A very moving and stirring song with such emotion. I love it. One of the top 5 greatest female voices I've ever heard.
