There's something about this pic which draws me in. When given the chance to attend one of her gig, I wish I had gone. | |

Nice to see Huffington Post giving her the attention and credit she deserves. She's featured in the top headline of the site and the article heading is, "R&B Legend Dies". Space for sale... | |

WHAT?! I just this....
That's a piece of my childhood gone there... Mariah Carey owes A LOT to her and Minnie Riperton...

I agree! Plus Teena was able to hit Minnie/Niecy/Patti-type notes in her register. I think she really broke barriers with her music. How many white artists have been embraced by black audiences as much as Teena has over the years. And she was on a major career resurgence after laying low for a number of years. | |

Hey Smokeverbs!
I wish it were under better circumstances like a Detroit Tribute to the One and Only Electrifying Mojo, while he's still here with us...but I digress. It's great to see you, man!
Didn't Mojo make Teena Marie and some other folks we can name...
That's why I get so angry at what the music industry has become because it's PURPOSELY depriving our children of what music really is all about! I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Long time no see.
household names in the D? Our musical upbringing was something amazing, wasn't it? 
R.I.P our Ivory Queen of Soul. I am truly heartsick right now. I discovered Teena's music @ age 10 and have been a fan since. I'm so glad I got to see her this past summer @ The Dell East - she is a true legend & icon. Her music is what I reach for when the world has knocked me down - her voice always has the power to lift my spirits and her lyrics spoke to my soul at times. I know she's definitely in a better place and that Heavenly Choir has added one more beautiful voice to its ranks. | |

She sure was. I grew up in Detroit and her music was just apart of the scenery. It was always there. Many a candle will be lit at the steps of HITSVILLE, Im sure. She is a Motown family member always. | |

I can't even call it the music industry anymore because the people in charge DON'T know what to do with it. | |

I grew up listening to her music. It's sad all my favorites. Her daughter just turned 19 years old yesterday and if that's true that she was the one that found her, so sad.
my condolences goes out to her family.
Yesterday, I was watching Girlfriends (television sitcom) and her music was playing in the background. and I told my son I need to go play some teena marie music.

She indeed played a pivotal role in the continued influence and legacy of Motown, which makes her death all the more sadder. Most of the Motown artists pioneered the way for us (Teena included) and all really died TOO SOON. But I guess in this life, you're not assured you'll live past age 50. | |

Taylor Dayne, Kathy Troccoli, AND Anastacia owe a little something to Teena Marie. | |

Right. They were afraid it would result in a backlash. | |

Truly sad 
another beautiful voice silenced
Yes I understand I’m over here trying to read everything and the post keeps updating. I was saying that at first no one wanted to reveal that she was white right? | |

one of her best pictures.
Funny, in this picture she looked more black or biracial than white. Her hair was so beautiful and her eyes dark. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

No doubt, but in fairness, Mariah's career has got the momentum of a runaway freight train in comparison...
Bottom line, I think it's unanimous that Teena set the standard and beit posthumously, she'll get the mass recognition she so truly deserved...

I always thought that when Rick died a big part of Lady T went with him | |

I just pulled out my copy of her 1980 album, Lady T and I came across the picture of the back cover. I just love it:
WOW...can't believe it!
