Teena Marie Has Died
This is a shock! R&B singer Teena Marie was found dead in her home yesterday by her daughter. Teena sang the hit songs ‘Loverboy,’ ‘Portuguese Love,’ ‘Ooo La La La,’ and ‘I’m a Sucker For Your Love.’ She was only 54.
“Teena Marie was a black voice trapped in a white body,” said Cathy Hughes, founder of Radio One, a broadcasting company that targets African-American and urban listeners.
“I would always tell her that she was one of the greatest vocalists of our time.”Teena’s manager said the singer apparently had died in her sleep. Her publicist reported that she had suffered a grand mal seizure last month. The publicist said she had a “great” conversation with Teena Marie on Saturday, who was looking forward to performing in Atlanta later this week, reports CNN.
