Album Description
All-Music Guide writer Alex Henderson put it best: "No White artist has sung R&B more convincingly than Teena Marie." This tempest is a teacup, or "little munchkin White girl," as mentor Rick James once referred to her, belted out some of the most robust, authentic R&B of the late-'70s. From the get-go, her identity was shrouded in secrecy. To prolong the ruse, her debut album on Gordy featured no photos of her, only a soft-focus image of the sea and sky. The ploy worked: Her first single, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love," a duet with Rick James, reached #8 R&B. When the truth was learned and the jig was up, it was too late: an R&B hitmaker was let lose, and there was no stopping her. Between '79 and '91, she had 23 R&B hits; of those Seven were Top 10. For the First Time, her finest fire from both her Gordy/Motown and Epic years is captured on a single CD, including "I Need Your Lovin'"; "Suqare Biz"; "Lovergirl"; her two duets with Rick James, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" and "Fire & Desire"; and her tribute to fellow Motown-to-Sony defector, Marvin Gaye, "My Dear Mr. Gaye."

Before Brittany, Christina, Jessica, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce or Rhianna there was Lady T. A young white woman with soul dripping from every note she sings. This CD is a collection of some of her best work. It is an emotional roller coaster taking you back to a different time covering a lot of emotional ground. It is a must have for the true soul connoisseur.
 Not quite the "Ultimate" Teena Marie compilation but still great. July 7, 2007
Justo Roteta (Los Angeles, California United States)
Although this is NOT an "Ultimate" collection of Teena Marie's music it is one of her most comprehensive collections. A truly ultimate Teena Marie collection would be a 2-CD set covering both her Motown and Epic recordings. That aside, however, this is an excellent anthology of Teena's music and a great starting point for anyone being introduced for the first time to this great but underrated R&B diva's most popular Motown tracks.

Tiffany B. Smith (Atlanta, Georgia)
I have been a Teena Marie fan since a kid; growing up in 80s how can you not be? A white girl with s soul sounding voice! This CD is awesome and has the best of her best in my opinion. Great tracks like; Portuguese Love, Fire and Desire, I want to be your lover girl, all these and the rest of the songs bring back great memories of growing up in the 80s. A great buy!
