  • R.I.P. ~ Legendary Singer Teena Marie Dies at 54 [1956-2010]

    Dec, 26 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Disturbing news today… music pioneer Teena Marie has died at the age of 54 years old.

    Twitter was abuzz with rumors of Marie’s passing early Sunday, the day after Christmas. As the net went crazy, several called around to confirm or deny the disturbing news.

    Marie’s manager, Mike Gardner, confirmed the death of the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sunday evening, after she was reportedly found dead in her home by her daughter. The official cause of death has yet to be revealed.

    Marie, born Marie Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, Calif., rose to fame in the late 1970’s and 1980’s after being signed to Motown Records in 1976. During her career, she released 13 studio albums and developed a partnership with the late Rick James, whom she collaborated with on the notable “Fire & Desire”. (Source)

    Just one day prior to her passing, Teena tweeted the following quote from the legendary singer, Sarah Vaughan:

    She also wished fans happy holidays:

    Marie, often dubbed the ‘Ivory Queen of Soul’ was scheduled to play Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on New Years Day (Jan. 1, 2011). She is survived by her daughter, Alia Rose, who also sings.

    Teena Marie released 13 albums during her career. After a long hiatus from music, she was signed by Cash Money Records in 2004 where she released “La Dona”, which went gold. Her last album, Congo Square, reached the Top 20 on Billboard’s Top 200 and she hit up The View last year to promote it.

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #rhoa #bravotv #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #teagif #rhoa #bravotv #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
