Teena Marie did NOT die from complications from prescription drugs! Her death was determined to be from natural causes, possibly seizure related.

Teena Marie was a legend. Starting back in the 70’s until she passed in 2010. She wrote, produced, arranged and sang. She’s was a multi talented artist. She belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. When is this going to happen. It’s so deserved. RIP Lady T. Much love for you

Teena was one of the most talented singer, songwriters and musician. Who wrote, sang and produced her own music with sellout concerts! One of the best female vocalists ever. The first to rap in Square Biz and could sing anything from soul to jazz to pop. Her music is still relevant today she deserves to be in the Hall of Fame! She inspired the likes of Alicia Keys! Her vocal range was incredible and her contributions were like no other! I listen to her everyday never to be bored but inspired!

I'm not quite sure why Teena Marie has not been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Anyone who has followed her career knows she was one talented woman. What do we need to do to make this happen? It's time!
RIP Lady T. You are truly missed. XOXO

I agree with all of the other voices. How Ms. Marie has been over looked for this honor in spite of her all around musical contribution is beyond a travesty, and I a,Lao have to go back and do some research, but is Nick Ashford in the RRHF?

Teena Marie was one of the Greatest musicians ever! Her voice impeccable! Talented writer, producer, songwriter and musician! Don't overlook her talent! Also one of the first female rappers. She had a catalog of timeless music! She paved the way for many musicians! She deserves recognition!

It's mind boggling to me that Madonna is in hall of fame and a real singer like Tina Marie isn't Madonna was a MTV fad that took hold on pop music Tina Marie was a legend of her time few female singers could sing like her it's a shame that's she's not in the hall of fame somebody needs to step up and make it happen her legacy deserves it !

Tina Marie should be in the rock & role hall of fame she is more talented than most of the other nominated artist. Some of who was chosen for popularity not great talent. Do the right thing by Tina Marie!!!

Teena Marie was a pioneer in music. First successful white female artist on the Motown/Gordy label. Successfully sued & won Motown for her musical freedom. Which put into law The Brockert Initiative (she was born Mary Christine Brockert) that protects artists from record labels holding them under contract but not releasing their music. Other notable artists went on to be able to be released from their contracts due to her court victory. She was a singer, songwriter, musician, producer & appeared in various tv shows. Her place in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame should have happened years ago. Lets make this happen!
