oh dear, i love me some teena marie but she looked ten times worse than vanilla ice in that archived clip. LOL

She sure does and that gold get up isn't helping. I am also incredulous that her friend didn't know Teena was white

you would be surprised. My mother graduated high school in 1979, the same year that Teena came out. She said for YEARS she didnt know that Teena was white. I have heard many people say that

first Bootsy, and now Teena too?
Unsung is doing it right!

thanks for the headsup!

.

But this woman went to school with Teena-she should have known she was white

Teena could have passed as half-black. I know some mixed race people who are lighter than she is.

I've known biracial folks that look and act like Teena. I have to be honest when I first saw her at six I thought she was biracial or multiracial.

This should be an interesting Unsung episode.Teena went through alot of drama with Motown,which resulted in her suing them and leaving the label at the height of her popularity.

Yeah I love to see her talk about this and her conflicting relationship with Rick.

Teena's Unsung premieres this Sunday

ohh, thanks for this tip. I will be setting my DVR.

No prob

Check the website. There will be extra stuff on there that won't be on the show itself.

Back in the 80's, I didn't know that Teena was white neither. I used to figured that she was a very light-skinned sista.

Exactly.

She always looked white to me.

Me too I always thought she is white. She played some mean guitar and her guitar skills are underrated.
