Exactly - I'm also gutted to hear that she was in London last year and I didn't know. A very talented lady with a great great voice.

To pass away at such a young age just add more sadness to the news. RIP Teena.

RIP Teena I still remember as a young DJ the promo copies of her single arriving among the new releases and thinking wow. Her music certainly filled many nightclub/disco floors from around 1978/79 onwards.

My older brother got me into her music. Really sad to hear the news 54 is too young.
Square Biz is my favourite song from her.

R.I.P. Teena Marie.

Such sad news.

Top 5 Teena Marie

1. Behind The Groove
2. I Need Your Lovin'
3. Since Day One
4. Portugese Love
5. Ooh La La La

TM was a true trailblazer - and certainly paved the way for the likes of Madonna ... RIP.

I was so sad to read about this earlier. It was quite a shock.

'Portuguese Love' is one of my all time favourite songs.

There's a bright star shining in heaven tonight.

Sleep peacefully Teena.

This is Teena from the late 90s working with DJ/Producer Danny Tenaglia-getting back to her dance floor origins.

Pure class.

Very sad. I too hadnt realized she had played the 02. Ive been listening to her and Rick James on You Tube today and it brought back so many memories. I was in California in 81 when they were in concert together.

"Manchester, England, looks a lot like me today" - cant get these lyrics out of my head.

Indeed it was a classic. It is a rare example of a disco song that sounds quite atmospheric. I heard the news on BBC Radio Lancashire's Jukebox this afternoon but couldn't quite believe it at first.

A legend that unfortunately was always going to get the credit she deserved after her death.

Life's like that sometimes, RIP Lady T
