Teena Marie released “Ivory” in the fall of 1990. Despite the success of the first two singles, “Here’s Looking at You” (#11 R&B) and “If I Were a Bell” (#8 R&B), Epic Records was not totally pleased with sales of the album. So Teena and Epic Records mutually agreed to go their separate ways.
This cut, however, was missed and was not released as a single. Produced by Soul II Soul’s Jazzie B this has all the prerequisite ingredients of a classic dance floor filler.
