Man Rick James voice was one of a kind..Haven’t heard a Vocalist like that in generations..Tina Marie’s voice was magnificent as well, but in combination they made magic🙏🏿..Rest in peace to both🙏🏿
I can't listen to this my favorite reminds me of my Ex girlfriend miss her said something made her mad i am still upset with myself never forgive me never forgive myself
Lady T is R&B royalty! You've got to get with her solo stuff! You'll be in for quite a ride! We loved and still love our Lady T! R.I.P. Teena and Rick.
even when they weren't together, they were.... they had that deep love for one another, transcendent of a mere relationship! As for songs... Lady T gotta love Ooh lalala, Behind The Groove, Portugese Love, Out On a Limb, If I were a Bell, Work It, I'm a Sucker for your Love,
Young ppl aren't ready for this song. You only truly understand it after multiple heartbreaks and after life beats you down a few times. Teena Marie could've easily been a big Opera star. Her voice was that big. This song will have you catchin the Holy Ghost. Seeing her in person you're even more in shock. She was TINY. Not even 5'1. To this day I'm still shook that voice belonged to her.
Your reaction to Teena had me rolling, LOL! She didn't want to post her picture on her initial albums because she wanted to be known for her talent first. When it was found out she was a white woman, no one cared, they loved her! She was amazing, may she RIP! Classic slow jam!
omg when I heard you say it was one of your "grandmothers" favorite songs, I truly believe it was the first time I actually realized how old I am!!!! They say everyone has a moment when they realize they are old....wow!
Check out Teena Marie doing a live version of "If I Were a Bell." It was just her and her fantastic piano player on the Donnie Hathaway show. This woman was pure, raw, supernatural soul. I wish people would leave her skin color out of their comments ... just enjoy her pure soul and massive talent . Teena reached a level that very few have ever reached. She wrote, produced and played just about every instrument .... sort of a female Prince. But it was her stunning vocals that keeps impressing her die-hard fans. Truly, a one-of-a-kind. Make sure to check out out Deja Vu, and one of her final live performances, Still in Love, which was recorded at the Apollo Theater. Lady Tee still had it !!! May she R.I.P.
I think her greatest moment was when "Teena Marie Sings to Smokey Robinson", in which she sang "Ooo Baby Baby" right in front of him! It, along with the one Luther Vandross did in his tribute medley to Smokey, is the best cover of the song which was covered by more people than I can count!
Teena was truly one of a kind. No other could ever replace her. Song bird. Beautiful soul and and fantastic singer. Never received her props. Would not sell her soul. Number one female singing in all times. Just amazingly beautiful RIP MY SOUL SISTER. LOVE YOU SO MUCH. IT HURTS. 😘❤️❤️🙏🏿
Agree so many act like white people have no soul, stop plz, its whats inside not skin color she was white deal with it stop saying, she was black.... those who say that
40 years later and her voice still gives me all the feels! Listen to her songs Tune in Tomorrow and Sunny Skies. She also did a tribute to Smokey Robinson. It's amazing! They have another duet called Happy. I was fortunate enough to see them in concert, Whoa!
Teena Marie might have been "light skinned" on the outside but honey... her soul is purely Melinated💯💯💯 She is Portuguese tho... Listen to her song Portuguese Love... ✌🏾🖤✊🏾🌞👑
The funny thing in hind sight, is now, many know Teena Marie for these types of vocals. The real surprise is for those who only knew Rick James for his upbeat stuff have to be his incredible ballad vocals.
Grew up on this song. My mom loved this song too. Very important to black pop culture of the 1980s. Teena Marie is referenced in the black community. Basically, it goes unspoken, but she was an honorary black woman. I couldn't watch the whole thing. I lost my mom last year, and it's still pretty raw for me, and listening to this just hurts now. Thank you for this video, though.
I have to say Ms Marie was classically trained to sing she fused it with soul and wow there are only a handful that can mix classical and soul singing into one
Absolutely Love seeing this on your channel. If you want more Teena Marie, I suggest you take a listen to “Casanova Brown” or “ Dear Lover”.🖤 These are the songs that I played to get my now hubby hooked on her. Most from my generation are more familiar with “Lovergirl”, but I prefer her slower tempo songs. Shout out to your grandmother!
Tina marie was just as much a musical genius as rick james prince michael jackson etc... her voice just gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes such a beautiful soulful treasure
Awww Yaaa Tina Marie had the funk-soul interpretation down solid. It's so sad she died in 2010 while making a come back. You need to check out "square "biz " and "lovergirl".
I LOVE your reaction. This was one of the BEST reaction I've seen truly. Lol. I'm glad that you let it play and didn't talk while they were performing. And the time you did talk you paused the song. And you used that option sparingly. You let your raw reactions do the speaking for you while they performed UNINTERRUPTED. Lastly you articulated your overall thoughts/ideas about the song after the song was completed. You need to teach a class on how to do reactions. Lol.
That took me to another planet. Tell Grandma she is too cool! 💖👍🏻🎶😁 You really need to react to "Blue October - Fear" (official vid) PLEEEEEZE!! You will love it!!!!
Thank you, i just subbed you and liked vid..i will watch your reactions anytime. You actually sit back and listen..without interrupting the music every ten seconds. One thing more..i am a black man who believes black is a state of mind which is why i refer to Miss T as being white skinned..not being a "white" person..her soul..her blackness touches me and brings a tear to my eye..some folks can argue..but thats just me feeling her. Jah bless brudda.
Legend has it that Tina ? Was super sick that day? And nailed it in the studio that day only took her one take, she later on went to the hospital 🏥 to be treated.
Ooohh, your grandmother has excellent taste! No1 like Rick & Teena Marie. The more of your videos I watch the more I'm impressed with the amazing young man you are! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have great reactions man and are one of my favorite reactors on here. I really want to share and introduce another artist to you. I see how amazed you are here with Teena Marie. You should react to Lisa Fisher singing How Can I Ease The Pain Live in 1992. It is amazing and you will be blown away. Please trust me. My favorite reaction of yours was to Luther Vandross singing A House Is Not A Home live. That was the best live performance to me for a long time but Lisa's to me now is just as good. I just learned about hers and been watching others react to it.
Ure the type dude thats really in tune to 1s emotion when it comes 2 true music, i mean that as a compliment, so u r the perfect reactor for donny Hathaway, cant wait 2 see ur reactions.
Love that you're doing Queen, and now Rick and Teena. Classic Rock/metal and old school Funk are my favorite genres, If you're down for some more funk, I recommend Jimmy Castor Bunch, "Troglodyte" and "Bertha Butt Boogie!"
Such an awesome song. I love to see the Rick James reactions knowing what's coming next. Don't get me wrong. Rick's part is phenomenal but Teena man. A whole nutha level.
Besides her sounding EXACTLY like a black woman in a white women's body, she actually is very mixed; Puerto Rican, Portuguese, Italian, Irish, and American Indian. She no doubt, is in a CLASS OF HER OWN!!! Left us waaaay to soon! R.I.P. Lady T! She STANDS ALONE, far as singing goes, for she is.... ONE OF A KIND, musically.

This is vocally one of the best songs ever recorded.
He shakes his head "No way" and I'm nodding "Yes yes yes " That voice. Who else has head to toe goosebumps?
I couldn't wait to see your reaction when Teena began singing!
I new that was gonna kick his young heart in the chest, she was so explosive!
Still girl!!!!
I said the same thing!
I knew he wouldn't be ready 😆
@@mslmc3 James had the BEST Teena Marie reaction I've ever seen!
Man Rick James voice was one of a kind..Haven’t heard a Vocalist like that in generations..Tina Marie’s voice was magnificent as well, but in combination they made magic🙏🏿..Rest in peace to both🙏🏿
If you aren't careful listening to Teena Marie you will have tears she speaks to your soul!
I can't listen to this my favorite reminds me of my Ex girlfriend miss her said something made her mad i am still upset with myself never forgive me never forgive myself
That's a fact
Your will hyperventilate after starts singing if you’re not ready. You’ll start shaking and jigging with amazement.
Powerful vocals of Rick and Tena, and that range, HELLO, they both delivered and made one of the best duets in r&b music history.
Lady T is R&B royalty! You've got to get with her solo stuff! You'll be in for quite a ride! We loved and still love our Lady T! R.I.P. Teena and Rick.
even when they weren't together, they were.... they had that deep love for one another, transcendent of a mere relationship!
As for songs... Lady T gotta love Ooh lalala, Behind The Groove, Portugese Love, Out On a Limb, If I were a Bell, Work It, I'm a Sucker for your Love,
Out on a limb-OoooLaLalA--Portuguese Love--Casanova Brown And square biz and Behind the Groove
Your grandmother had great taste in music, she knew her music
You can feel teena marie's voice rip through your soul in a soothing way
her voice triggers ASMR for me its like relaxing and tears inducing all at once like GOT DAMN
Cut through you like a knife 😂
Lady t. Thee best ever number one ever female singer no other can touch her. RIP IN PEACE. U WERE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.
Young ppl aren't ready for this song. You only truly understand it after multiple heartbreaks and after life beats you down a few times. Teena Marie could've easily been a big Opera star. Her voice was that big. This song will have you catchin the Holy Ghost.
Seeing her in person you're even more in shock. She was TINY. Not even 5'1. To this day I'm still shook that voice belonged to her.
Teena Marie, "Behind The Groove". Blue eyed funk/soul at it's best. RIP Ms. Woman. We miss you.
AMEN, LOVED TINA!!!!!!!!!!!
TEENA MARIE, TIMELESS VOICE!!!!!!!
There will never be another like Teena Marie. ❤️ this song
It's unbelievable. That giant voice and that little body. Her voice was like hot silk.
I can’t stop watching his reaction. It brings joy to my heart to have the young people respect real singing. Keep doing your thing Young King.
Teena Marie was a true talent and Rick James was sooo underrated. RIP soul brother and sister...
Jennifer Greene Rick James was the man I love his music
Tina Marie will musically crack your skull. She's damn-good.
RIP/SIP to both.
I'm loving your Grandma. She has the best taste in music.
I'm with your Grandma all the way, one of my favourites too! Rick is great, but man! Teena Marie's voice is pure magic. Sweet soul music at its best.
Your reaction to Teena had me rolling, LOL! She didn't want to post her picture on her initial albums because she wanted to be known for her talent first. When it was found out she was a white woman, no one cared, they loved her! She was amazing, may she RIP! Classic slow jam!
Best female vocalist. She was awesome. I listen to her every now and then and get blown away all over again. Man.
omg when I heard you say it was one of your "grandmothers" favorite songs, I truly believe it was the first time I actually realized how old I am!!!! They say everyone has a moment when they realize they are old....wow!
People sleep on how great of a voice Rick has also
100%!!!
Facts!!
I can see his brain reading "Error 404 file not found" in real time. 🤣🤣
He had to bring it on this one Teena Marie ate this sH!+ Up
For real!
Check out Teena Marie doing a live version of "If I Were a Bell."
It was just her and her fantastic piano player on the Donnie Hathaway show.
This woman was pure, raw, supernatural soul.
I wish people would leave her skin color out of their comments ... just enjoy her pure soul and massive talent .
Teena reached a level that very few have ever reached. She wrote, produced and played just about every instrument .... sort of a female Prince.
But it was her stunning vocals that keeps impressing her die-hard fans.
Truly, a one-of-a-kind.

Lady Tee still had it !!!
May she R.I.P.

Still hard to believe that giant , soulful voice was coming out of that tiny white woman 😂😂
Your reaction was so genuine. If you’re not already in love, this song will get you there💕💕
Teena Marie might have been "light skinned" on the outside but honey... her soul is purely Melinated💯💯💯 She is Portuguese tho... Listen to her song Portuguese Love... ✌🏾🖤✊🏾🌞👑
666 BLACK CARBON part Irish, Italian and American Indian too.
Teena Marie was American & raised in SSanta Monica & Venice, California - no Portugese ancestors
esquibelle Her family is Portuguese most likely from the Azorce Islands Portugal.🇵🇹
@@barbarawebb7185 her family is from the Azores just like mine.
The funny thing in hind sight, is now, many know Teena Marie for these types of vocals. The real surprise is for those who only knew Rick James for his upbeat stuff have to be his incredible ballad vocals.
The Ivory Queen of Soul, may they both rest in love and happiness
I.m getting goosebumps all over.You better sang Teena
This is when men made music for women.Mood music.Not many men like that anymore.Too busy wanting to be gangster rappers.
💯💯💯
Lawdd preach it!

You mean "revered".
I still wouldn't call her an "honorary blk woman". She was white and that's ok to be.
They were awesome together
RIP Lady T & Rick J
He died in 2004, she died in 2010.
Lady Day no
Also another great duet, Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle, "Never Knew Love Like This".
I would love to talk music with your grandmom!!! She has impeccable taste💯💯💯 It was easy back then to say "Thats my jam"🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 ✌🏾🖤✊🏾🌞👑
💯
Whoooooo!!! THIS IS A CLASSIC💯💯💯 I LOVE ME SOME TEENA MARIE🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 This is that panty droppin music!!!
I couldn’t wait to see your face when Teena started singing!!😂🙌🏾
Great reaction, keep it up youngster. R.I,P Rick and Teena
Rick and Tina were musical soul mates, their chemistry was amazing. They give u goosebumps, Tina is special
Your expressions are priceless. Thank you for the video.
Your grandmama......bless this precious lady!!
I have to say Ms Marie was classically trained to sing she fused it with soul and wow there are only a handful that can mix classical and soul singing into one
These young souls are never gonna be able to experience hearing these jams for the first time and holding your partner when this song comes on.
Exactly. This song created hundreds of ppl.
Teena would rip your heart out and you were grateful for it. What a talent.
RIP, Teena ... gone ten years this coming December. Her voice was and forever will be simply irreplaceable.
Absolutely Love seeing this on your channel. If you want more Teena Marie, I suggest you take a listen to “Casanova Brown” or “ Dear Lover”.🖤 These are the songs that I played to get my now hubby hooked on her. Most from my generation are more familiar with “Lovergirl”, but I prefer her slower tempo songs. Shout out to your grandmother!
favorite teena marie song is deja vu
Let's not forget If I were a bell and Ooh Lalala
Teena Marie is an original sounding singer which I like. The first Blanca on the R&B chart.
Just came across this video. Love your reaction. And fyi....Teena did this song in ONE take! Google it!
Your Grandmother has AMAZING taste! Love that song! I remember when!!😁
What is it baby?! SLAY TEENA!!!!!
RIP Teena Marie & Rick James.. Your music was 🔥🔥🔥🔥.....
Wow. I haven't listened to this song in ages.

Awww Yaaa Tina Marie had the funk-soul interpretation down solid. It's so sad she died in 2010 while making a come back. You need to check out "square "biz " and "lovergirl".
Amazing song.Takes me back to some great times. Shoutout to your Grandma. She’s the coolest...
Not to mention she was sick at the time and had to come out the hospital and then did it on one take
Rick James... LOL known for his sparkly hair. 1981 seems like yesterday as well as like a million years ago.
Don't I know it! I'm a child of the 80's. Sometimes it seems just like yesterday, other times so long ago.
She's a legend bro
I will always love this song.
2 of the greatest voices of all time. RJ & TM RIP. You left us with your great music to reflect on.
A true classic. Back in the day, that is how it was done-----with class.
U have an old soul to appreciate this music like u do. I can tell u really feel it like we do.
Rick and Tina you both are surely missed RIP to you both
You should listen to Teena Marie's I need your lovin
You should react to Teena Marie singing to Smokey Robinson.

Nail on the head. The perfect reaction to the arrival of Teena.

Sorry, just seeing this now, I have been a super freak fan but forgot Rick James could sing like this! Thanks for finding this jewel!!
Cool reaction!, please check out INXS - Never Tear Us Apart ... awesome Australian band from 80s & classic song:)
I love this song so much. It's sad to think that both, Rick and Teena, are dead
Love that you're doing Queen, and now Rick and Teena. Classic Rock/metal and old school Funk are my favorite genres, If you're down for some more funk, I recommend Jimmy Castor Bunch, "Troglodyte" and "Bertha Butt Boogie!"
