Stars Show Support At Teena Marie's Memorial Service - HipHollywood.com 

"Wish we had given her more flowers when she was here" That sums it up, Teena was one of a kind . There should have been more tributes to her while she was alive.

Teena Marie NEVER got her true recognition in the industry. Meanwhile we have far less talented that have many accolades and praise. Teena Believed in God and talked about it and she's in Heaven now....I wonder how many other famous people will get to see her in Heaven.

I just dont understand how a singer as great as she is, never got the recognition she truly deserved in this life. Now in her death she is noticed, not fair at all. she is and always will be a true angel, and a real singer.

She truly had love for the culture of BLACK MUSIC & PEOPLE AS A WHOLE ❤❤❤!! THAT'S WHY THEY EMBRACED HER AS ONE OF THEIR OWN!!! RIP LADY T

I Loved what Sheryl Lee Ralph said about Teena ..So heartfelt and it seems like EVERYONE really loved her in a real way just like She was real... what a beautiful Tribute to her ..xoxo

I saw her in concert, and she performed the HELL outta every single song. She was AMAZING. She was formidably talented - wrote music, composed lyrics, played several instruments, sang like no other, she could rap, she could scat, she produced, arranged, and performed like it was the last day of her life. My dad is a retired musician who possesses all of these same talents sans scatting, rapping, and producing (he never cut a record, only performed in clubs and created his own music), so I've seen the kind of work involved in all of these things that she did (sans scatting, rapping, and producing, of course). It's 2020, and I'm still saddened by her loss. From Wild and Peaceful to Beautiful, her talent was robust and jumped out at you. She sang as if she was living her song as she sang, and with a BEAUTIFUL voice. A huge loss, but I'm grateful to have all of her music.

Stevie said: "From the moment I met her till the last time I/eye saw her." I had to rewind.

Greatest artist of all time...really wish people would stop TRYING to cover her songs & posting them on RU-vid , test your skills on ANY other artists songs but pleeeease leave Lady T's stuff alone, please, I don't care how great your voice is, her music just doesn't sound right coming from anyone's mouth but hers, it actually make anyone who tries to do it sound horrible!

Today I cried thinking of Teena but as I wiped my tears away I rejoiced knowing she has left us a special gift, her legacy of great music and those who knew her and worked with her. Most of all her daughter and the fans who love her music. Her presence can never be erased! she was here and will always be here with us in music. RIP Teena Marie

She was a,beautiful person and an underrated artist rip

I was messed up for about two weeks...had to cover my face, you know being a man, crying so hard. She sang my life as teenager and young adult, and the notion of her death, immediately brought back those memories, reminding me of the impact she had on my upbringing, good and bad times. She is still missed and a definite favorite of mine!

My favorite song is IF I WERE A BELL. Rest in peace LADY T❤

She really had a good soul and I'm happy to see that even African-American accepted her as one of their own that meant a lot because it's not easy to do that and she did that she will truly be missed RIP sweet angel!👼👼👼

Tina was truly an icon still bring tears to my eyes to know that she's no longer with us. But we are so fortunate that she left us such wonderful music to remember her Legacy by❤

Here in 2018 and still missing Teena.

Dearest Teena Marie, The very first time I heard you sing 'Out On A Limb' , that was a life changing moment in my life. I was fourteen years old and just beginning to find my way and I love to sing. Your beautiful. smooth and soulful voice was the sound that gave me hours of practice time to sing by. You are missed . 🥀Your spirit will live on in your music and memories forever! 🥀

I was just telling my girlfriend about Teena Marie this past weekend, and how she'd been a pioneer of Blue-Eyed Soul. My girlfriend had never heard the term before, which led to a discussion of Marie and other White artists (such as Hall & Oates) who's music regularly crossed over to Black record charts back in the day. Nowadays, the practice is so commonplace as to virtually not exist. We've gone from White singers in the 1950s and early '60s singing Black songs in decidedly non-soulful ways, to White singers in the '70s applying Black vocalists' styles (especially blues and jazz) to rock, to pop singers around the globe today mimicking what Black singers have been doing for decades. At best, it's a flattering imitation; at its worst it's appropriation. Either way, there's rarely acknowledgement of the influences, which is what keeps White singers at a distance from most Black audiences. But Teena Marie sang with authenticity, and that's why we embraced her. It was clear what she'd heard and absorbed, and that resonated across the airwaves. In the world of 1980s radio, it didn't matter what she looked like -- she sounded like she belonged with us, and so she did. Because of that, her legacy with Black America is secured.

To this very day, This still has me broken up inside. I cannot and will not cease to playing her music. I had an amazing opportunity to see Lady T at a concert many years ago. And she was so gracious to autograph a shirt that I wore to the concert. And to this day I still have that shirt. Her words to me were, "God bless you and your family. And thank you for coming out to support me. " I will never NEVER forget you Ms. Teena Marie. May you continue rest in Paradise.

Damn! Stevie said "the last time i saw her"! I always knew Stevie was pulling our leg!!

One of the most iconic and influential R&B/soul singers of all time.

she had the soul in her blood the skin color didn't matter my diva RIP QUEEN 👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤😙😙

The more tragic reality of renowned artists like Rick James, Prince, Chuck Berry and others who have passed on is that the industry will never replace them in terms of their influence and future generations will only know performers and not legends.

Teena Marie had probably one of the most ALIVE voices you could ever ever hear...and because of that alone , the ivory queen of soul WILL NEVER EVER DIE

I just found out who she was today. It was a random RU-vid video that got my interview. I watch her videos and see this one. It got me crying for a person I never met. It sounds like a beautiful funeral about a person who touched so many people.

she had the soul of a warrior and the saddest eyes of any woman i have ever seen.

The Vanilla Queen of Soul:Ms. Teena Marie aka LADY T. Rest in peace,your music still lives on.

It’s 2020 and I’m here to celebrate the life of a truly “soulful sister”. I still and always will listen to your music. Iconic u are “Lady T” !! Well Done!! Bravo!!

Growing up in 70s & 80s, Teena Marie was important to me & many of us in Philadelphia no matter your race. She was beloved in my hometown and I got to see her live. She was amazing! I still miss her.

Teena!! Marie...She was a Beautiful soul. R*I*P....Always.💯💫🙏

Lady Tee...Gone too Soon ... U will be Forever Missed.. Thank you for bringing your Soulful Voice to the Black Community as we embraced you for being the Ivory Queen of Soul.. RIP My Sista...

Your music, your voice, your legacy can never be forgotten. Only one Lady T!

Seems like people that actually knew her, could hardly speak of her. Seemed like a well loved soul.👍

Tina, had such a powerful voice. I just loved her and Rick James music in the 80’s my high school years.

RIP Lady T..one of my favorites for sure ..

Teena marie truly a great singer, R.I.P. sweet angel you will be sorely missed but i know you will be singing for the angels, rest easy. Sweet 1 god rest your soul. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I was and still am so sad about her death. Teena is soooooo underrated. One of the most talented artists ever and seemed like a great person. She is so missed.

I sent a card out to an address in LA in care of Teena Marie..never done that for an artist before. Teena's poetic music and pitch perfect voice had a special place in my heart when I was growing up. After watching some of her old interviews on YT the last week and a half and see how much love many had for her, it only confirmed for me that she was an awesome, awesome person. Thankyou heavenly Father for the life of Teena Marie. RIP Lady T "Vanilla Soul Child".

Teena's music has taken me through so many phases of my life, let her music live forever in us. We love you Teena Marie! Rest In Peace! Happy Birthday, unfortunately you were buried on mine.

This was the most heartbreaking news to me. It is just unbelievable that she is gone. There will never and i mean NEVER be another like her. Like Sheryl Lee Ralph said she should have been given her flowers when she was alive. There was never any tributes to her. I sat behind Teena at the BET Awards years ago and remember thinking why they not honoring her.,= GLAD i WAS ABLE TO TELL HER i LOVE HER AND SHE WAS MY FAV FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME...R.I.P LADY TEE

Long live the ivory queen of soul!!!!!

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL VOICES ALIVE!! Bella Donna! Rest In Paradise! Long live the Ivory Queen Of Soul!

This made me cry, wow! how wonderful for people to have so many good things to say about Teena.

Will always remember Lady T. I had meet Teena 2xs and both times she was so sweet and down to earth. I told her she is amazing and she blushed and said ah it's a gift and smiled. She took pictures with me and signed my t-shirt and cd's. We truely will never have another Teena Marie her voice was so unique. I still am hurt over her passing. My god watch over her daughter keep her safe and strong. Teena you touch my heart/life in so many ways. Thanks you for just simply being you. RIP LUV U 4-EVER

She was an amazing woman, an amazing singer, with so much soul in a tiny body... Just the best... I love her and I will always miss her... Rest in peace my queen.

2021..you STILL rock, Sister!!

I will truly miss our "LITTLE SMOKEY" Teena marie and to all her true fans and friends she is not gone but still living within each time we listen to her. She truly was a gift from GOD and she also recognized that that is where her talent came from. Her lyrics came from the depths of a spirit that she was able to connect to because that was granted charisma from "THE CREATOR." Thank-you for all your music and lyrics "LADY TEE."

Her beauty is manifested in her music. I missed her concert in Florida, now I will never see her in person. Miss you my sweet songbird!

Oh I'm crying she was all that a legend no voice like that

Tears in my eyes , a genuine soul

She was a Phenomenal Woman.

OFTEN IMMITATED , BUT NEVER DUPLICATED..

Author G D Grace will never forget you. I love the sincerity in all of the recounts by everyone on their encounters with Lady Tee -- she was as beautiful as I knew she was. RIP Tee. (hugs)

The sweetest voice in the world, we love you Lady T 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

2019! Still missing such an amazing and super talented woman.Teena Marie.Rest on soul sister.🌸🌸

I got to see her once here in NJ & I'll never forget it. She's already missed...

I loved her song back in the day called oh oh oh oh la la La. When I was a teenager me and my sister she had Tina Marie's CD she will truly be missed her songs bring back memory I still listen to her songs out on the Limb and oh oh oh oh la la la

LisaRay I know this is old but Queen you really made me tears up. You all spoke well of Tina Marie. I grew up listening to her music and was shocked as hell the first time I seen her on America Band Stand singing. I know Tina daughter is doing well, mama looking over her😇

Teena Marie was a Powerhouse of a Woman Rest in Peace Teena Marie GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations

A great soul singer no doubt that unique voice put among the greatest.Queen of Ivory soul.Lady T.Eternal LIfe.

These are beautiful awesome tributes to her, and like so many others it took me a few weeks to get myself together. My heart was broken, and I heard of her, but she left beautiful music and memories here for us to treasure, and I also hurt a little extra when I realize that she passed away the day after her daughter's birthday, which is on Christmas. God bless you you have the best treasure you have all the memories of your mom she loves you more than her music and that's everything

Loved her songs since I was about 12 years old or so and had the chance to meet her once I became an adult. I told her that once I actually lived her lyrics as a young woman with who had experienced a broken heart, who had fallen in love and otherwise; is when I felt her music even more. I'd come full circle. She hugged me and took pictures with me. I'll miss her...

Teena Marie is still my fav singer, I couldnt stand it when my mom would play her, Freddy Jackson, Luther, Angela W,Stephanie Mills, at card games but I love them now. And Teena is still my fav to this day.

Love you Teena, miss you. RIP!

I absolutely loved Teena Marie. Big part of my life.

I sent a card out to an address in LA in care or Teena Marie..never done that for an artist before. Teena's poetic music and pitch perfect voice had a special place in my heart when I was growing up.

She's not gone, she's just making new songs for us to hear. She will let us know in certain ways and times when we really need to hear her beautiful voice. GOD BLESS TEENA MARIE. Thank you God for giving me the chance to grow up in that era to hear her .

2019, first time seeing this video. Tears in my eyes real hard. RIP Lady T. May God always be with your daughter.

Before Lady T's spirit ascended, she did a song on a yet to be released Album/CD of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. The song title is Message To The Black Man. The Minister was close friends with many of the Motown Legends, in particular Marvin Gaye. He did the eulogies for David Ruffin and Rick James. Min. Farrakhan is a very accomplised musician in his on right, having started a music and entertainment career prior to joining the Nation Of Islam. There is a promo video on RU-vid showcasing a documentary on Minister Farrakhan's life in Music. Teena Marie will be forever missed, her beautiful music and lovely spirit I will always remember, she never took her fans for granted. We as fans must keep our great artist's creations alive for the generations yet to come, for them to experience, love, admire and then inspire them to a higher level of artistry.

She was loved so dearly in the industry. Patty Labelle & her where phenomenal throwing their shoes around lol aww miss her. RIP Queen 💐🙏🏼👑💫💕💐

Teena Marie whatup she was a sweet person I love this whole thing Sherman

Lisa Raye spoke from the heart as a loving mother would.She got really choked up thinking about Teena's daughter and her welfare.That shows how much she was loved.

Wow! What an artist and what a tribute! Beautiful video, thanks for posting.

WE WILL MIIS YOU SO MUCH LADY T. THE WHITE QUEEN OF RAP. RIP TEENA!

I have some wonderful personal experiences with her here in Las Vegas ❤ !
