Black Music Month Artist of the Day- Teena Marie

June is Black Music Month
Day 14
Teena Marie

One of the best female singers in the business. One of my all time favorites. Not only can she sing, but she also writes, produces and plays most instruments on her recordings.Teena started in the music business when she was 16 years old, hired as a songwriter for Motown. Rick James wanted to produce and write for her. The rest is history. Listen to this track and you will see why she is on the list and a long time favorite.
