What a terrible way to close out this year. I didn't even know she was ill.

At least she seems to have gone in her sleep.

I think I will let her music speak for itself. And it does speak.

I was a fan of hers. She was too young. This is sad news. She will be missed.

My favorite song of hers was Lovergirl.

My favorite was Ooh La La but there were so many classics.

She had such a distinctive voice too -- that's not too easy to find these days.

This was really heartbreaking news for me and a friend of mine who is a huge fan. We both own all of Teena Marie's albums and cd's What a huge loss for her family and fans. Gone much too soon.

What a crap way to close out the year

I love this woman's work and just....way way wayyyy too young
