Teena Marie: The Tragic Passing of the Ivory Queen Of Soul 

The ivory queen of soul did you know she had a small part in the Beverly hill billies in 1964

Amen love her

Ya she was awesome and her music will always be heard

Lawd🤦🏽‍♂️

I have a story to cheer you up: New Years Eve 1985-6, I was a bouncer at the Hollywood Palace on Vine. All the other bouncers lived out in the valley, I lived a few blocks away on Highland. My boss, Julio called me up to open up around 10am for Teena to do her sound check. I told her I sang in metal bands growing up. She rehearsed 3 songs, square biz, out on a limb, and lovergirl. She invited me up on stage to sing lovergirl again, I knew all the words. Working at the Palace I met so many famous musical acts, but Teena was THE coolest, funny, polite, humble, with an incredible voice. A super great memory for me because we sold out her concert and reached the fire codes maximum capacity. I was letting people in the side door for $100 per head, I went home with about $2000.

R.I.P. Teena Marie, when I first heard you sing you blew me away with with beautiful voice,Loved You so much, I was devastated when you passed, hurt so bad, miss you so much.

Yessss! I agree..

I still have that 45 too, Sis!

Same here loved her since I was a little girl ❤ I grew up listening to her music.

Me too! I was 11 when i first saw her on SoulTrain performing You Make Love Like Springtime and i fell head over heels and obsessed ever since Heart broke when she died 💔

Tina rapped on square biz.

Amen!

RIGHT?! Never ever!!

RIGHT YOU ARE Mr. RANDY. I LOVE TEENA MARIE!!!. ♠️THE VANITY ADDICT♠️

I guess you never heard happy

she got as much recognition as any black female singer did, not sure where you got that from. maybe you feel she should've gotten more recognition than black women, that's always been the standard right? btw, she didn't sound black to my ears!

​@@cameron6249She never said or even implied that she should have gotten more recognition than other black female artists. That all came from you.

@@lancinebentley8040 she did imply it when she said "she should've gotten way more recognition". anybody who was back there knew she got as much recognition as any black female artist, so why is it she should've gotten even more? 🙄

Do yall know what soul is?

You must be white, we loved Tina marie

I know I have to halt the flow of tears because she was so belittled or blocked from simple acceptance. Blessedly this piscean haulocaust didnt let this affect her and she fought several worthy cause. And in her vocals lyrics and passionate delivery the message that I was so proud to be a woman because of was LOVE. She was courageous fierce a fighter. I miss the chance to say it to her. Love you Teena Marie.💥👉💗🙅‍♀️

​@@karynmitchell2509 She not overrated at all the one overrated is Elvis Presley

there's a reason.....

I don't think she was underrated in the 80's I was a teenager then and many of us teen's loved her and her music ,they also played her music at clubs and many parties.Maybe she is underrated now because many people don't speak of her or listen to her music .Teena Marie was one of my favorites I saw her and Rick James in concert back in the day.I still listen to their music.I think Laura Branigan was underrated back in the 1980's Listen to some of her songs now on youtube and you will see how powerful her voice is and how underrated she was . RIP Teena M RIP Laura B.

Most definitely 👑🌹🕊️✨

Stop giving white people passes

she may've been a lover of soul music but she didn't sing soul, she sung r&b... learn the difference!

So right! Thats because she had real talent..not like these auto tune queens of today...

only she never sung a soul song 🤣,... where do you ppl get that non sense from?

When she did the hit song in 2004 "Loving Cup" it was iconic, my lover at the time Shavon that was our song.

I know...out on a limb 😮has me😭😭😭😭

That is so beautiful!!!🌹🌹🌹💕💕💕

Bless your heart

👉 She isn't dead to the almighty God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Moses and Jesus Christ either. She's merely *asleep* in death (there's a huge difference).🙏 Teena exists in almighty *YHWH/JEHOVAH* God’s perfect memory and He will awaken her and MANY others from sleep within His foretold global paradisaic new world of righteousness during the resurrection (2 Peter 3 : 13). "But that the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the thornbush,+ when he calls Jehovah ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’+ 38 He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, *for they are all living to him."* *~ LUKE 20 : 37, 38*

trailblazer in what sense?

she did fall for him, they were an item at one point

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write such a nice comment.

@@jrnyjrnl Lady T deserved more than that💃🏼
