RIP Teena Marie

[Mr Peabody]

I guess over the holidays Ms Marie missed our radar. I like Funk/R&B and a voice like hers and a girl who plays bass is bound to get my attention. A tremendous talent who I feel never quite got the attention she deserved.

It caught a lot of people off guard, And they say that it was of natural causes??? at age 54. I just saw a show on her about a month ago (unsung) about her career and how one thing she did help every artist in the industry. She sued her label over publishing rights and other contract issues that she did not get paid for. A real singer in her own right, unlike many today. Lady T will be missed
