Too bad. There were so many disco queens but I liked her stuff. You could actually listen to it. Must have been the Rick James influence.
Worlds GREATEST Photographer!

Yeah, I remember "Lovergirl" and "Squarebiz" but I didn't think much about her until years later when I would go to an all-night laundromat where they piped in one of those "Quiet Storm" radio shows from one of the local RnB stations. I remember thinking "Man, they play a lot of Teena Marie on this show. I thought she only had one or two hits? I bet there are loads of people screwing right now to this music while I'm in here folding shirts. Sheesh! ".
A few years after that she had her big comeback and that's when I finally realized she had become a huge RnB icon while I wasn't looking.
Checked her out on YouTube last night after reports of her death were trending on Twitter.
She brought it. Can't deny that.
