Teena Marie
March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010
Teena Marie was a singer, songwriter, and producer who had a string of R&B hits throughout the ’80s and ’90s. By all accounts, she was one of the most successful white female R&B performers in history. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Marie landed a job at Motown Records in the late ’70s. It was there that she met Rick James who took her under his wing and helped her sculpt an image and sound that would take her to the top of the R&B and pop charts. Her hits included “I’m a Sucker For Your Love,” I Need Your Lovin’,” and of course, 1984’s “Lovergirl,” which hit #4 on the US singles charts. Marie was still making great music through 2009 and was headlining in Las Vegas up until the time of her passing. Teena Marie was 54 when she died on December 26, 2010. Cause of death was not immediately released.
