Twelve years ago today we bid farewell to 'The Ivory Queen of
Soul', Mary Christine Brockert aka Teena Marie aged 54.
A tribute was done at the time, so for background info and Discography
visit the
Teena Marie
post. One album to add to that post is a posthumous release "Beautiful"
in 2013 which, coincidentally, includes a cover of a song, "Give Me Your
Love" featuring her daughter Alia Rose, written and recorded by another legendary artist who departed on
Boxing Day (1999), the great Curtis Mayfield.
Below is a playlist of some her greatest recordings. Thirteen of her
fourteen albums are available on Spotify. The only one missing is
her tenth album, "Passion Play", from 1994 which was self released.
The playlist is rather long, 50 tracks, which highlights the amount of
quality material she left us with, and many others had to be left out including a few from "First Class Love: Rare Tee".
