Teena Marie was recognized yes, but not enough! Her talent was AMAZING and I still mourn her passing.

[@allen6924]

She didn't have the look Jews were looking for. And she was too soulful for those people. So we black people embracing her talent was more than they could take. She's better than 70% of the artists in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. A lot of artists are more worthy than the artist already in. Stop the racist beliefs and the double standards.

[@123cgenius1]

That's what I'm really trippin off of. I'm 35 but I been listening to the oldies since forever. And there's still a lot of oldies that didn't get as much recognition as big hits like this one that I still need to discover. But smashing hits such as this one I would think would be known or at least heard before by anyone in there 20s and up. Anyone around my age who were raised by at least one of their parents should of heard songs like this being played. Lol I'm just saying. I find it hard to believe that this is his literal first time hearing this. But hey... to be fair everyone has different upbringings. I'll just say I'm happy he was able to finally discover these songs.
