This is the life story of the Ivory Queen of Soul Teena Marie and how she reached musical success. Including her Motown career with Label boss Berry Gordon, as well as Motown’s roster including Smokey Robinson, Rick James amongst others. Teena Marie made history as Motown’s first white act and she would go on to develop a lasting legacy with her silky soul pipes with hits like Lovergirl, Squarebiz, and Fire and Desire with her mentor Rick James.

Lady Ttttttt … what a beautiful gift we had on this earth . She had so much soul” Ivory White Queen of Soul 👸🏾 “ she could write and played several instruments 🎸 She was in a class all by herself… musical genius for sure !!! I grew up listening to you and continue until this day. I remember my brother who had tickets to see you live called me to tell me you passed he was crying because your concert was in two weeks. We were talking about how your concerts are sooooo amazing he had gone to see you several times living in California. I wish I had gone with him now because you were my favorite singer too 💯🙏🏾❤️ Rest in heaven peace Teena Marie Lady T ❤️💯❤️

I agree with you it was a tragic loss for the music world. I have read that while sleeping in a hotel room while on tour a painting on the wall fell and hit her on the head. As a result she started to have recurring brain seizures. Her daughter found her dead one morning. I am not a MD but as she died in her sleep with no suffering it certainly must have been a natural cause. Brad Delpp was the lead singer for the light rock Boston was found by his own son at home in the same manner. Both were nearly the same age. Both of natural causes. Both singers had great voices. By that I mean you could just hear them sing and you recognized them without interdiction. This is true of any kind musician. True greatness. RIP MS Tina Marie.

I wonder did she ever sue that hotel..it’s wild how that happened to her. I also wonder if it had anything to do with her passing. 54 is so young to pass from “natural causes”

Right! They said she had those seizures ever since and had one a month before she passed. I wonder had that not happen if she would still be here.
