We are sad to report that R&B singer Teena Marie (born Mary Christine Brockert) passed away of yet unknown causes on Christmas night. She reportedly discovered in her Los Angeles home by her daughter Alia Rose who sings under the name Rose Le Beau. Reportedly, Teena died in her sleep but details are not readily available. Teena was signed to Motown at age 19 and was a prominent singer and songwriter best known for her collaboration on Fire & Desire with Rick James and first solo album Lover Girl (she recorded 13 during her career). She was only 54 years old at the time of her death. We will bring details as soon as they're released. We're praying it's nothing scandalous. R.I.P. Teena Marie ~ *UPDATE* News reports say it was "natural causes". That's strange for 54 years old, but okay.
Just sadden by it ;-(
