ARTIST: Teena Marie
Music by Teena Marie are available on all digital music platforms (Amazon, iTunes, etc).

Nataly’s Corner remembers the music of recording artist, producer, and arranger Teena Marie singing a fabulous version of a 70s group, “Rose Royce”, classic: It’s really sad that Teena Marie is no longer with us! Teena was beyond a doubt a truly blessed natural songbird. Named at birth as “Mary Christine Brockert”, Teena came roaring into the 70s soul music world like fireworks, known [even today] 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. Teena, we love & miss you Lady!
