Singer Teena Marie will always be a part of my musical heritage. As a teenager in the late 1970's early 80's, Teena kept us who were tasting the new fruits of Rap connected to Funk & R&B. She wasn't the only female R&B singer carrying the flame, but she was unique in being white with the sound and soul of a black singer.
I dedicate this post to a dear friend of Teena's who I'm fortunate to call friend as well, Lynn Garcia. We as fans who grew up with Teena feel your loss Lynn. May you find comfort in knowing that Teena's life brought joy to a rainbow of peoples on this earth. You should feel blessed to have played a very close role in her life. We'll all miss her soul.
Healing blessings go out to Teena's daughter Alia Rose. It appears that your mom loved you as much as her Lord loved her. Trust that she's as comfortable in the Lord's Mansion as she is in your heart and soul, the two places she'll always be at home in.
Rest Well Lady-T
