[Hey Boy! I got a message for you]: Nataly’s Corner is most definitely open for business for all females who can relate to going thru those “love jones blues”. Not talking about the kind of “love jones blues” when you have a temporary spat with your guy…and then you make-up and it’s all good. Ha! I’m talking about the deep low-down “love jones blues” that’s got you aching to be near him… every… single… damm… minute! All I’m saying…is if you can’t relate…then you’re not ready to hear this Teena M. rap!

Named at birth as “Mary Christine Brockert”, Singer, songwriter, and producer Teena came roaring into the 70s soul music world like fireworks. Music critics refer to Teena as the “Ivory Queen of Soul”! Teena’s music career and discography is massive and spans over 3 decades. Everyone knows of her music collaboration with R&B singer Rick James in the early stages of her career. When she went solo, her debut album, “Wild and Peaceful”, was released in 1979 and gave Teena her first R&B top ten hit with the song “I’m A Sucker for Your Love”. Between 1979 and 1994, she produced ten albums and then decided to take a break to spend time with her daughter, Alia Rose. Teena is responsible for a famous court decision titled “Brockert Initiative” which makes it illegal for a record company to keep an artist under contract without releasing new material by the artist. Teena returned to recording and producing music in 2004 with the release of her album, “La Dona”! And just to prove to non-believers as to whether she still had it…she followed up with a few more successful projects: “Sapphire”; “Congo Square”; and “Beautiful”, which was the last project Teena Marie released before her death December 26, 2010. The “Rare Tee” album is a rare compilation Teena recorded earlier in her life.
