I’m talking up a tune today about Teena Marie. Ooh La La La was released in 1988.
Hello I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Multi-Tunes. Tunes that talk, and today’s topic is Teena Marie, Ooh La La La. The single became Teena Marie’s biggest hit on the R&B chart. It peaked at number one on the Billboard R&B chart, and Marie's only number-one single on that chart. It peaked at number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The words Ooh La La La sounds like a woman singing in love. Teena Marie had a great voice singing those words. Her nickname was Lady T given to her by her collaborator and friend, Rick James.
She was known for her distinctive soprano vocals, which caused many listeners to believe she was black. Her success in R&B and soul music, and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and congas. Teena Marie was a three-time Grammy Award nominee. She left this world at age 54. Teena and her music will always be remembered.
