First time hearing Teena Marie - Square Biz | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@kolohe8134]

Lady T is proof that Soul is colour blind, she also played 10 instruments.. She is dynamite on two feet, she is fire !!!

[@ertfgghhhh]

Ion know. Having soul is not colorblind per se. Soul is mos def a part of our FBA culture. There are many imitators. And few who truly have it. Miss Marie just had it

[@Triggerhippie70]

MY JAMMMMM! Listen, I'm 54, grew up listening to Lady T. She is everything!

[@SD-mw1hz]

We were the dancing era, dance clubs, disco, always moving, we were lit and fit. You've got to have your dance track list, you skate, sing, dance and clean your house to this.

[@bobbyjustice34]

Agreed 👏🏾👏🏾

[@princedejour2686]

Lady T is the most soulful blue eyed sister that I have ever heard!

[@a.c.6475]

Yes!...come to think of it, she is the ONLY blue-eyed soul sista we've ever had....period! RIP! Lady T.

[@patriciabrown5960]

Yes, Lady T is #1. You should check out another soulful, blue-eyed sister named Joss Stone.

[@uniqueenterprises8736]

Teena Marie is definitely a rabbit hole you want to go down! This woman has never sung a bad song in her life. Every song on every album is FIRE!

[@theredroadeast723]

That's true. She NEVERRRRR made a bad song!

[@LOVE2BTHEONE]

R.I.P Teena Marie, great voice and great everlasting music.

[@qutstm8009]

Yes, Tina is arguably one of the top three all-time female singers. Remember, she did that collab with Rick James, "Fire and Desire".

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

That bass like butter

[@infinitecontent8001]

Was Rick James on the bass?

[@TheKittsPajamas]

Man WHAT! It electrifies my soul! That bass is unreal! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@traceyrankin936]

​@@infinitecontent8001Nope that's Ms Tina herself on that bass! She was fire!

[@rhondaatkins1776]

This is one of my favorite songs, not just from my childhood, but for life!

[@infinitecontent8001]

She earned the title of Vanilla Choc on this song alone!!!!

[@pervis3]

And produced by Teena let’s add that!!!

[@SweetJonez-706]

Dmn I love hearing this lady sing 😩😩😩😩

[@LadybugLuv]

Miss Lady you are on FIRE with your drops today! My favorite by her is Lover Girl! It's a fast jam like this one.💃💃💃💃💃

[@TheOfficialAshleyReacts]

Thank you Thank you 😅🥹💓

[@TheOfficialAshleyReacts]

I will check that one out 🙌🏾

[@margiewilliams537]

Girl I went into labor with my first child in 1981 dancing to this song, please do Tina's Out on a limb

[@slappyslapstick4045]

She's the first (and only?) white artist with a majority Black fanbase.

[@bigchris7709]

Bobby Caldwell too.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

U first of all u think black folks only listen to r and b artists?? Hall and Oates. Carole King . Michael McDonald and a ton of others have a large black fan bases

[@slappyslapstick4045]

That's Ms Tina killing that bass! RIP Queen!

[@jiujitsujackson9831]

You have to listen to Teena Marie Deja vu her voice is angelic and incredibly soulful

[@cflournoy1529]

That’s my favorite song by Miss Teena.

[@karaanne8929]

Miss T was before me but I’m so glad I found her. She’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@williamprescott9304]

Miss her so much!!

[@seanbriscoe6804]

I grew up with Ms Tina Marie and square biz was one of many rollerskating jams. I use to kick it to this. She was smooth.....

[@icmman7]

teena was a BADASS.

[@clutch236]

Now Teena Marie "Square Biz"?..... Yeah, you're on fire today!......Good reaction!

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

This goes on the feel good Playlist

[@kennyeaton8210]

Two facts about Tina most people don't talk about....she was playing the Bass on this song and before she passed away she was signed to Cash Money foreal.

[@MarcG7424]

Alan McGrier played bass and also co-wrote this song

[@ZtnarfMeri]

My nostalgia; Circa 1981, Brooklyn, Crown Heights. Everything in the world is amazing at 10 years old. Sounds of music are crisp, and even colours have scents.

[@GonRogue-85]

Oh goody! Love this song! Thanks for reacting to it. Teena Marie has a plethora of hits worth going down the rabbit hole for. You may like "Lover Girl" by her as well.

[@theomgboss]

Man I've danced so many times to this song. All those many family parties were lit. Man I miss those days. I'm so glad my Dad was able to show me these songs when I was little.

[@martyemmons1859]

"Square Biz" and "It Must Be Magic" are the two first Teena Marie songs I heard on the radio. There aren't many two songs by the same artist that explode at the same time. And she continued to make great music progressively throughout the following years.

[@mrblackhawk56]

Love you Teena R.I.P.!!! Lady T!!!

[@winslow551]

She was an exceptional talent with a very special voice. Check out the other side of her vocals with the song, If I Was A Bell. Incredible!

[@josephdouglas3399]

This song came out during my teenage years. we had a lot of fun listening to her song in House parties during the summertime.

[@DM-gu3zc]

That was the jam back in da day!!!

[@ericechols6056]

Yes, this was absolutely the JAM back in the day. Lady T. had her little rap on this song, and this was a time of roller skating, residue of disco, low riders, and pop-locking etc. The good good old days.

[@AuntieNina68]

When she first came out, I was in the 3rd grade. I've been in love with Miss Lady T ever since! I love that you felt the vibe and energy that we've felt every time we heard it for 40 years😃 "Yes Ma'am" is the exact right reaction😅

[@dkdaiseydaisey6872]

My favorite R&B Female singer from the 80's. Teena Marie is one of the best vocalist ever - but so under rated. Love this reaction and the Fire and Desire reaction. Lady T was the best

[@DarrylSellers]

Teena Marie! The Lady T! Doing her thing! No boatload of ladies raps got nothing on the "Vanilla Child!" Cool that she teams up with Rick James on this song! Another roller-skating JAM too! 🪩😊🙌🏾♬🎤🎶💯🛼

[@adublbeatz8656]

Dancing was everything!!

[@michellegriffith4200]

I loved Ms T, and everyone can thank Rick James..

[@CCTH2221-lp2zj]

I remember hearing this as we heading out to Coney Island stuck in traffic on the Belt pkwy. As usual WBLS kicking the hits🎼

[@E.Allen1]

Don't forget 92 KTU the hot one 🔥!!!

[@carameldiva5131]

My mama hid this record from me because I played this and Double Dutch Bus on repeat as a small kid😅😅

[@glenncooper9898]

Can be considered the first female to rap on a song. Write, produce, and play multiple instruments!! LADY T!!!!

[@E.ternalBTNH99]

I was thinking that about the rapping when I was listening to her recently. Cause she was flowing and this was back in the day. Didn't know about playing multiple instruments and etc. too. Guess I need to look into that.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

U are totally wrong that would be sequence that hit before teena marie

[@anthonytaylor7928]

​@@E.ternalBTNH99aw stop y'all are wrong it was sequence that hit before teena marie

[@frankrocha7090]

Jammmmm

[@xandermarley8552]

Early, early ‘80’s…Roller Skating era💯

[@Leharrio_Structure7414]

Yo Ms Teena is definitely for the grown & sexy just wait till u get into more of her catalog 😉 She a Whole Legend in the Music World if u didn’t know u need to know.. So get tapped in with Mami Marie🧏🏾‍♀️

[@pfunk75024]

This upbeat R&B dance music started getting more and more popular as disco was winding down. Skating rinks and teen clubs, house parties started becoming more popular....the music and vibe is coming from "Studio 54" vibe that was spreading across the country, thanks to movies like Saturday Night Fever and then Beatstreet/Breakin'.... Alot of the producers of this genre of music were old disco DJ's, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who were originally working for Prince/The Time. Another group I forgot: The Whispers - Keep on loving me/rocksteady/love thing

[@htbald1]

FYI, Rick James produced a lot of Teena's songs! And again, check out "Deja Vu", I think you're gonna love it!

[@GonRogue-85]

Deja Vu is a good one.

[@tiffanyspencer2782]

Please react to Teena's song Portuguese Love (the long version). You'll love it!

[@mauricesegar3626]

My absolute favorite tune!

[@irisr.fullwood1345]

😝😍🤩💞💐OHH! YESSS! THAT WAS MY GIRL!!!!! THANK YOU 🙏

[@shirleywalker2943]

Keep digging out of that rabbit hole; you won't regret it!

[@elesterisaac7923]

Ashley, you have to listen to Tina, when she did her live stage performance of "Lover Girl" , she turned it out, she was amazing in that performance. And if you really want to hear n amazing performance, listen to her in her duo with Rick James, it is a very special performance.

[@powertothepeopleggg519]

Yeah yeah we had so much fun at parties when this song came on....lol

[@SD-mw1hz]

Watch the live performance and jam with her.

[@nathanielharris7170]

Great Song! Great tribute to past singers, authors, and women of Color. Steve Harrington "Weak at the Knees."

[@dwainwilder7337]

That was the JAM! That’s all I am going to say! Except for that was Rick James you heard.

[@7spiritualcompass706]

Your reaction to Teena is so adorable. She wasn't given the full credit for her music and skills like she should have. I'm from the '50's and the best time was during the Teena time. Dang! I miss those days! It was loose with innocent , and wild moments. ❤

[@lucky4724]

Plenty Rinks in my area!! N.J./ NYC Still goin strong!! Rollem like you stole em!!💪

[@ltgshyne15]

Okay, I just came across your channel and I’m a fan and new subscriber as of today! I have things to do, but have been binge watching - every reaction you dropped today has been 🔥🤣. You are giving everything I need in a reaction 💯. This is a song you can play at the cookout and the aunties and uncles are sure to get up and dance lol. Teena was a treasure and musical genius - her pen game was crazy. You can play anything in her catalog and you won’t be disappointed. You should check out her songs Deja Vu (I’ve Been Here Before), Portuguese Love, I Need Your Lovin’, If I Were A Bell, and Dear Lover just to name a few.

[@icmman7]

i came across you just today, I think i like you so i'll be hangin' around awhile.You play the good shit as far as reactors go...so far so pretty dam good;)

By the way, you hear Rick James voice in the background. They collaborated on lots of music, plus they had a relationship. Music to hear is, "Portugese Love." I guess I spelled that wrong! She was French-Portugese.!!!

Teena was special. You ask 100 black people over 45 years old who Teena Marie is and they will ALL know. But you ask 100 white people who she was you'd be hard pressed to find 1 who knows...for you youngsters "square biz" is like your "no cap" today..
