My exposure to Teena Marie came towards the end of her music career. I'm not sure which free internet radio provider actually recommended Lady T, but I heard "I'm Still In Love" (while deeply in love) and like all the songs I’m impressed with, I played it continuously. The more I heard the song, the more I wanted to understand who Teena Marie was as an artist. I found such songs as “Portuguese Love” and “I Need Your Lovin’” and realized this woman could BLOW (pause).
I always wanted to see her live but wasn’t proactive in finding shows in my areas or finding someone to accompany me.
Fresh Outlook: Attend more live shows
RIP to a woman who opened my eyes to 80’s/90’s R&B music.
