Contribution from the Good Sis Robido over in PopGAF, thought it was relevant to the thread:
Man, Teena Marie was the truth. One of my all-time favorite artists. Wrote and produced her own music, AND could sing her ass off.
AND she didn't get Robin Thicke'd. Couldn't deny that talent. Died with an eternal hood pass. RIP.
Hello loved ones. In 1981, the ICONIC LEGENDARY Teena Marie dropped a classic album entitled It Must Be Magic. Unlike your faves she wrote and produced it all by herself, and went on to receive critical acclaim. The album is a certified banger, and if you haven't heard it yet.. do yourself a favor. Best wishes!
"It Must Be Magic"
"Revolution"
"Where's California"
"365"
"Square Biz"
"The Ballad of Cradle Rob and Me"
"Portuguese Love"
"Yes Indeed"
Bonus songs: from the fabulous Starchild (1984) album
"Lover Girl"
"Out On A Limb"
and from the incomparable "Naked To The World" (1988) album:
"The Once and Future Dream"
"Naked to the World"
