Sometimes it's hard for myself to listen to only Teena's slow jams without feeling sad ( ) that she's no longer with us. Therefore, I listen to Teena's uptempo funk/rock/dance tracks more often.

Tony as many Teena Cds I have (not to mention all the vinyls I own ) I haven't been able to listen to her until just recently.

I'm so late to the party (as usual) - I wasn't really into her when she was alive - i have only discovered the amazingness that is Lady T in the past 12 months. So I can imagine everyone who loved her when she was alive, it must have been rough, since she was such a "special" "hidden" treat.

I really need to give Teena a chance because I can easily do 5 or 6 but thats all I know. Her vibrato ALWAYS annoyed me and kept me away from enjoying her fully.

all the love for 365 !

i read somewhere this was her tribute for Aretha...

The vibrato is what made me a fan!! I can see why others may not like it because she does have a HUGE vibrato...hehe.

NO is it good!!!??

Very good! It's an interesting collection of songs.She signed with Motown in 1976 but they didn't know what to do with her.That's why her debut album wasn't released until 1979.On this set,you get to hear the early songs she recorded that never materialized into an album.

I sure do - but can't get into certain cuts. 365 and the singles I already knew are the jam, plus i love "Revolution." Not sure about the others...some of her song titles and ideas are so...unique?
