Congo Square was released on June 9, 2009 on Stax/Concord Records. Sales-wise, the album proved another success, reaching the Top 20 on Billboard's Top 200, and giving Teena Marie yet another Top 10 R&B chart entry. In 2010, Teena Marie continued to be a headliner on the Las Vegas Strip, appearing regularly at the Las Vegas Hilton and other venues until just before her death.She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas, and wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire. At the time of her death, Teena Marie had been in the process of completing her 14th album, Beautiful. It was finished posthumously by her daughter, Alia Rose, and released on January 15, 2013.Teena Marie was godmother to Marvin Gaye's daughter, Nona Gaye as well as to American actress and comedienne Maya Rudolph, daughter of singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton and composer Richard Rudolph. She also cared for Rick James's son, Rick, Jr., and family friend Jeremiah O'Neal. Lenny Kravitz posted a video in which he said that Teena Marie had taken him into her home and helped him when he was struggling early in his career.On the afternoon of December 26, 2010, Teena Marie was found unresponsive at her Pasadena home by her daughter, Alia Rose. On December 30, 2010, an autopsy was performed by the Los Angeles County coroner, who found no signs of apparent trauma or a discernible cause of death, and concluded she had died from natural causes. She had suffered a tonic–clonic seizure a month before.A memorial service was held at Forest Lawn Cemetery on January 10, 2011. Among those in attendance were Stevie Wonder, Deniece Williams, Smokey Robinson, Queen Latifah, LisaRaye, Sinbad, Tichina Arnold, Shanice Wilson, and Berry Gordy, Jr.
Teena got offered pop fame and passed on it. Teena was true to her musical roots. As far as I'm concerned, she's one of the small handful who forever gets a pass. She was even rappin' before a lot of dudes. Square Biz came out in 1980.
again no argument from me on any of that homie..but the point was made that halsey could do R&B but she's not going for just black famous.
Point taken; which is why that bitch can go fall off a cliff as far as I'm concerned (musically). She's biracial and runnin' from her roots. Most half breed chicks want to assimilate into white culture. They have already cast her ass aside for Billie Eillish. They like their white girls all the way white and their soul blue-eyed.
Just bring some coke with you and your in there... LOL
