The music industry and music fans are still reeling from news of the death of R&B legend Teena Marie. Per her wishes, Marie will be cremated, and a private funeral for close family and friends will be held for the beloved singer. The blue-eyed soul singer died in her sleep last Sunday, having suffered multiple seizures last month. Marie was found in her home Christmas weekend by her daughter, who had celebrated her birthday the night before. A public memorial service will be held in the New Year, with details about the location to come. Rest in peace, Teena Marie.

I just hope a certain ex-member of The Mary Jane Girls does NOT dress overly sexy like she once did at Rick's funeral.

Just saying.

No. It was either Cheri Wells or Yvette Marine.

Not surprised you got to hear about Bobby than you did about Teena considering where you were. Tragic, isn't it?

Please. Betty Davis is funky but she can barely sing and she even has a goddamn speech impediment.

Damn.

Ya'll whack! Teena Marie had some great songs and I just "discovered" Betty Davis! Now, there is some all-out lay 'em down and kill 'em down and dirty F.U.N.K.!
