This woman never got her real props one of the baddest R&B singers ever

I looked in my 24 y/o daughter's room and saw her singing to Portuguese Love----big smile across her old man's face..

And to think her, Prince and Rick are all gone. That's just crazy.

She was so damn beautiful. Rest In Peace Lady T.

Teena actually is real sweet. I meet her 3xs she let all her fans form a line and one by one we all went on her tour bus she signed pictures, cd's etc. Not too many singers do that. And this is when Lovergirl was a huge hit.. She was so down to earth and nice. Her daughter was there one time she was only 3 yrs old. Damn I miss her so much!! Thank you for sharing your gift Teena! RIP!!!

There isn't enough Teena Marie's younger videos on here.

I am blessed to say that I've seen Rick, Teena and Prince live in concert...but imagine seeing all three on the same tour. Unbelievable!

Teena Marie is a very UNDERRATED 80s singer. R.I.P. Lovergirl!!

I never saw this either..She was so pretty here. She was made up beautifully...She did have beautiful eyes like someone else said. Her album covers showed her true beauty very well. But she rarely made herself up like this in public. I was fortunate enough to meet her not long before her passing. She was a rare soul that been here before ... R.I.P lady Tee

I worked at a hotel in New Orleans and meet her in the courtyard there during the Essence festival. I just remember her getting out of the limo and smiling at me, "Hi honey!" I couldn't believe it I was in shock I was so excited. Just an amazing woman may she rest in peace and love.

She was the opening act on the Dirty Mind Tour that prince did. I bet that was off the chain!

Met her back in 1992 at Black Music Day downtown Los Angeles, when i seen her i dropped to my knees and said" Miss Marie i Love you, you just don't know!" LOL she said "Baby get up off you're knees..would you like a Cd and autograph? I replied yes but I had no camera God Blessis her may she R.I.P in piece "Portuguese lover".

She was so cute

I would highly recommend scrolling down and reading many of these comments of people who meet her before. It really highlights what a genuine, humble, unique, and rare soul that she was. 💜🕊👑🔮💖

She is just an angel

Teena Marie was one of the most underrated and talented singer in the 80's but it is damn shame that she got the recognition that she deserve and RIP Lady T

Love & miss her 🥰😍🥰🥰😍🥰🥰😍🥰😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

her music is timeless

Why is everyone saying she's underrated? There is not a black person alive that doesn't give Teena props. She was on Soul Train like six times. She's a well respect women, especially in the black community.

Writer, producer, composer and arranger let that sink in and respect the talent!!

There were no Teena Marie interviews on KZfaq years ago, I remember just trying to find more than 3 clips. Its nice to see there's more now

Teena Marie is my favorite artist of all time... I'm 21 and hardly anyone I knows who she really is. It's sad, she was such a talented artist all the way around. And such a class act. I wish I would have had the chance to meet her before she passed! And she is so humble in these interviews. She's an admirable woman and set a wonderful example.

Thanks so much Dick for inviting soul funk artists.

miss Teena Marie! I love her so much I learned about her from my parents and I’m only 20. I swear I thought she was black when I first heard her lol. I love her raspy voice & I think she was the most underrated 80s singer she was the baddest ❤️ rip lovely girl

I like her hair and her makeup

10 years after this year of the interview her daughter was born. :D

Wow I wish they would have shown Teena singing " Young love " cause that is my all time favorite song by her

Such a shame, there are not more (Good quality) videos of her.... such a beautiful lady.... and the voice of a goddess.

Lady T saying all the right things so much soul. RIP

Singers has the sweetest speech even when they fumble their words

In my 40s and stumbled on here after reading she died in 2010 and the hotel accident. WOOWW!!! I never knew any of that...just that Teena Marie is an OG and legend. What a heartbreaking story but God bless her soul and family! We are blessed she worked so hard and made the music she did!!! 🥰

She has so much soul it's scary💯

She was so cute talking. Voice of a little girl.

Teena Marie is a GOAT. Rest In Heaven💜

Aww poor Vanilla Child - miss her voice! You are so missed. Rest in Peace.

look at my sister of another mother and father LOL my girl Miss Tina Marie I grew up listening to her know every song and still have them Merry Christmas Tina I know you up there with Jesus and the rest of the angels that sing that passed away we still love you all and we'll always playing music

R.I.P. Dick Clark & Teena Marie!

Teena must have been a sweetheart. She was loved by all who knew her personally.

Teena rocked the world with her music! So much talent and down to earth! Miss you teena! wow i love all of your great music!

I wanted to see her sing YOUNG LOVE! :-(

RIP.. amazing artist! So cool!

A Tina Marie biopic would be phenomenal!! One of her self titles, Vanilla Child! Launching her career at Motown and in keeping with some heavy hitters: Rick James, Prince and the the story behind the lyrics, OMG ..!!!

This was one bad chick. One of a kind. And I'm a huge critic.

A legend and we miss her 🙏🏼

I miss you Teena Marie :( ...the world has gotten darker without you! Sing with the Angels! GOD knos you were one of them!

Teena Marie, a singer that has somewhat been forgotten when we talk about great female singers. Worked with the great Rick James & Stone City Band.

LADY T IS THE BADDEST SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, ARRANGER, GUITARIST OF OUR GENERATION.😎😋😘💋💞💖🎶🎵🎼🎤🎧🎷🎷🎸🎷

I would love to see the movie of Teena Marie and Rick James

Loved her great singer ❤

SHE WAS VERY ATTRACTIVE,...AND VERY VERY TALENTED HOPEFULLY HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WILL BE RECOGNIZED FOR HER TALENTS AS TINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN “THE STAR🌟💫🤩

Rest in peace teena Maria sleep 0n sleep on . Love you your music always

damn, would be a treasure to see her sing Young Love. She very rarely performed it. I never knew she did a televised version. My fault for not watching Dick Clark all those years ago! lol. Thanks for posting! She looked beautful! RIP Tee

Unbelievable voice and great stage presence I will always be a big fan of hers

Loved her from the first listen. So under-rated. RIP Lady T

Sheer talent! Berry Gordy amazing.

I am so glad to be fortunate to see her in person before she died. I miss her sooo much.

You are too funny! lol Rip: Both♥ Teena Marie & Dick Clark, you are missed.

Saw her live at a free concert in Brooklyn in 2002. It was the dog days of summer and it was HOT! This woman put on an amazing show and sang her heart out and was so humble. She came off the stage (security told her not to) and stood on a chair so everyone could see her (she was tiny) and sang right there in the middle for everyone to enjoy. May she rest in peace.

Tina Marie was in Beverly hillbillies back in 64....she was 8 then.

RIP Legend i miss you❤

thank you for POSTING!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Her music will last hundreds of years

This is priceless! Thank you for uploading this rara footage of our Lady T!!!!

R.I.P TEENA AND CLARK !!!!!!!!

such pure talent,,singing & playing all instruments on her recordings + her stage presence/choreography & brashness. R>I>P>"TEENA MARIE" GIVES ME A "MAGIC CARPET RIDE" DURING THE ENTIRE SONG. WHAT A "LOVER GIRL" SHE MUST HAVE BEEN" ONE CAN ONLY DREAM"

Man she lived a FULL LIFE ❤. She had the accident with heavy picture frame the year Rick James died.

I love her :(

The true queen of disco totally awsome

awwwwww i miss my LadyT

She sang her ass off and I still play her music and Rick james

Faboulus Voice,lady,...no compétition with this...Madonna. no comparazione. Teena has a Voice.

Oh yeah, I worked as a stagehand on that tour. Prince wasn’t well known at the time and was opening for Rick, and it soon turned into a history making funk war because Prince’s performances were getting more hype from the crowd than Rick’s. Halfway through the tour the arenas we were playing started getting packed before the openers came out which was very rare, but people were coming to see Prince as much or even more than they were coming to see Rick. Prince had the crowd going more than Rick could. Then Prince went so far as to start snubbing Rick on the way back to the dressing room coming off stage. That was basically adding insult to injury, but these were two greats competing, so what you gonna do, just step back and take it in. It got bitter, not so much with Prince, as he was winning the funk battle and had nothing to lose anyway, he was the opener. Rick I don’t think ever said a nice word about Prince after that. He was pretty bitter whenever someone would even mention Prince's name. It was pretty obvious Prince outdid him…a headliner’s most embarrassing moment-getting outperformed by your opener.

#Teena fire!! Salute to one of the BADDEST!!! 5 I'm q black dude from the country!!!!## 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I am jesus christ

People need to stop commenting that Teena was underrated. No she wasn't. Everybody adored her and gave her her props. Stop with the foolishness.

Love my baby!
