Maybe Joss Stone
Rick James girl
You spelled New Orleans wrong
I saw her in concert at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis.
One day in '01 or '02 I was getting off of work at 5, and this white boy I worked with said "my friends and I have an extra ticket to the Clippers game, wanna go?" He was cool, so I went.
So the game is about to start, and the PA guy says "singing the national anthem... Teena Marie." Them white boys couldn't understand why I was flippin out.
Me: "YO, that's Teena Marie"
White boy : "Dude, who?"
She killed that shit too.

Only acceptable white woman.... i cant call her a cac bitch...... maybe her mother but not her. I wouldnt try to sell her... id let her sing in my club .... no whites & dogs allowed.
You are so right. I had to rent a car from Enterprise and the driver who came to pick me up was playing a rap "song" on the radio and I swear every other word was fuck, bitch, dick muthafucka etc. I asked him why he liked what he was hearing and he said "Aw you're just old school". I said age doesn't matter when it comes to good music and the shit I'm listening on your radio is garbage not music. It doesn't take talent to spew a bunch of derogatory curse words over and over and I'm not downing all rap. He then said you don't know shit about rap and challenged me to name a rap song l liked. I said Eminem"s Lose Yourself and he said "yeah okay" and got real quiet.
My cousin had a garage band in the early 80s and they love to play Tina Marie songs "Lover Girl, Out on a Limb" Their female lead singer didn't have the voice though.
A band I'm in is playing Out On A Limb next weekend.
joss has the voice, but she's damn near a six footer. teena was only 5 feet tall. critics would be all over details on any movie about teena, as she is one of the few [VERY few] white artists that ever got a 'pass' start to finish from black audiences.
good movie topic though. the rick james years alone would be a wild ride
Holy sh*t
Welp I know what I will be listening to on my way to work today
Every FUCKIN' Time Lady T's Music comes on our piped-in music system at my gig, I get all choked up and shit.
Especially when it's "SQAURE BIZ".
Which still has one of the Greatest Bass Lines in Music.
Youngbloods at My Job laugh whenever I go "Air-Bass" whenever that song pops up
They have No Clue.
And a lot of these "Psuedo-Pro Black" folks have No Clue Either.
Calling Lady T a "Cultural Appropriator" and shit.
So Yeah. I tend to get into a lot of arguments.
That Woman NEVER EVER gave up on Her Black Audience.
That's why many of US practically cried when She passed.
