CNN reports that the great unsung Grammy-nominated singer, Teena Marie has passed away at her Los Angeles home Sunday, Dec. 26. She was 54.
Before there was Christina Aguilera or Fergie, there was Teena Marie. She is most know for her sweet soulful voice and gained popularity in the late 1970s and 80s with mega hits like "Square Biz," "Lover Girl," and most notably "Fire and Desire" featuring the late funk legend Rick James.
It was reported that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure last month. Her manager Mike Gardner has confirmed her death but there are very few details on the cause of death.
Teena Marie leaves behind her daughter, Alia Rose, family, friends, and millions of fans who will forever miss her.
"Farewell, my sister, fare thee well.
The elements be kind to thee, and make
Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well."
-William Shakespeare
