Teena Marie, one of my all time favorite "Queens" from the Disco era has passed away at the young age of 54. My generation grew up listening and dancing for hours to her tunes in discos and music festivals during the late 1970's and early 1980's.
I recall the national "furor" that occurred when she first hit the "scene" and she didn't look the part of a "soulful" disco singer, due to the fact that she was white. Thank goodness we have mature as a society during the past 30 years.
I remember when she appeared at Studio 1 in West Hollywood, and at clubs in the OC with her singing partner Rick James. Ah, gonna miss Teena Marie. No word on how she passed. I just hope she rests in peace. Keep on dancin....
