Square biz is, for reaĺ, no lie, straight up. Deja Vu, Lovergirl, Young Love, Ooh La la la, If I Were a Bell, Behind the Groove should all be on your radar, keep em rolling brothas.
Teena GOT DOWN for HERS!!! She was a TREASURE. This song used to MOVE THE CROWD!😁 The party, barbeque, cook out.. to the club would be JUMPING to TEENA! Not to mention all her other jams. Watching this video brings back good memories . We will NEVER forget LADY T🙏
Look... this chick was it! I have tremendous respect and admiration for this woman! Her song wriitng, or should i say story telling is not typical or ground level. This writing is full of metaphors and symbolism, she always make you think deeper about your own emotions!
Born and raised in Queens, NY. I grew up on all types of music. R&B, PoP & early Rap was my growing up and early adult music. Not just mine, but all of my friends as well. I'm not sure where you all grew up but in NYC, everyone whether you were white, black or brown listened. Music wasn't about color for us. I do miss those days.
I've been loving adoring and diggin Lady T since I was 12.. I'm 58 now When I was in junior high school if you didn't know the lyrics to this song...you were nowhere near cool 😎
Lady T’s “Behind The Groove” next! ❤🔥That’s what early 80’s R&B was; quality music and fun; impossible to NOT be happy! I have a suggestion: “Watching You” by Slave; my God I am so glad I grew up where I did (Bronx then Brooklyn) when I did; it was a great time ❤ Musically, we were definitely one America then; we all listened across the genres. But this is my music.
It blows my mind that Teena Marie was rapping on Square Biz in 1980, when the album was recorded. She was not only talented, but also visionary, as she was one of the first women to self-produce herself.
Teena Marie song suggestions: Dear Lover Ooh La La La Lovergirl Portuguese Love Behind The Groove Wishing On A Star (Rose Royce Cover) Casanova Brown Happy with Rick James If you haven't done it yet Fire and Desire with Rick James
CHECK OUT...... The Secret Garden by Pamela Williams from her Saxtress CD featuring Teena Marie, Patti LaBelle and Pat Peterson. This is the Female Version of the song The Secret Garden by Quincy Jones featuring Barry White, El Debarge and Al B. Sure.
I heard the song a million times but this is the first time I've seen the video! I brought this song up about a month ago when you guys reviewed Rapture by Blondie and asked about any other white females who rapped. This was the only one I could come up with. Great song and great review as always.
The tempo is slightly fast for my taste. Her flow is very 1981, almost Sugar Hill. She was right in the thick of it. There are and were multiple Americas. East coast, West coast, South coast... 🤔
