Teena Marie will celebrate her music career’s 30th anniversary, spring 2009. At age 19, Teena Marie, signed to her dream label and was placed under the tutelage of the legendary, Rick James. Her 1979 debut Wild And Peaceful, produced by Rick James, garnered the #8 R&B single, with “I’m A Sucker For Your Love.” One year later, her second and third albums, Lady T and Irons in the Fire, produced by Teena Marie were released, producing the hit classics “Behind The Groove” and “I Need Your Loving” respectively.
Teena Marie quickly took creative control of producing, writing and arranging her material. In 1981 Teena Marie released the platinum selling It Must Be Magic, which featured the up-tempo “Square Biz” and slow jam “Portuguese Love.” Teena Marie signed with Epic Records in 1983, and went on to record five more albums throughout the late eighties and early nineties, including Starchild and the hit single “Lovergirl” and Naked To The World which features the smash hit “Ooo La La La.”
Teena Marie independently released Passion Play on her own Sarai Records in 1994, but it wasn’t until ten years later, after taking a sabbatical to focus on raising her now 16-year-old daughter, that she would resurface to share her voice and talent with the world, and stunned her fans with her CD “La Dona,” which spawned the gold single “I’m still in love”—for which she was nominated to receive a Grammy for Best R&B Female Vocal Performance, 2005. In 2006 she released her incredible album “Sapphire,” featuring the formidable single “Ooo Wee,” which she dedicated to the late Rick James.
