4.0 out of 5 stars Lady T is "T"riffic!, July 7, 2003

By	Jennifer "The Writing Diva" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

I know, I know, really corny! Stumbled, is the word I'll use for finding out about Teena Marie. Sure I knew of the rockin' hit "Lovergirl" but I guess my navie self never thought to devulge deeper into Teena's music. So I did a little research, downloaded some tunes and I am now a fan of Teena Marie. I know this is the "Epic Era" Greatest Hits but The Ultimate Collection didn't hit on some of the songs I really dug that were on this album, such as "Out On A Limb" which I have to say is a beautiful song! Very sensual and pleading and worth one star alone. "Work It" is another one of my fave "T" songs. It's jazzy feel just flows and the lyrics are so damn catchy! "Ooh, La, La, La" is sweet and has a that Teena touch. And we all know "Lovergirl" so why should I waste time describing this excellent song? I thought this was missing the driving "Lips To Find You" which has the tightest beat of any Teena song and the coolest bassline ever. Personally this album whould have been better if it did include the "Motown Era" hits such as one of my faves "Square Biz" (I love that whole rapping thing that Teena did) and "Behind The Groove" which has another sharp bass line but I know that these are two separate great hits compliations. If you want to get into some Teena I suggest you listen to the songs I listed above and also "I Need Your Lovin", "Alladin's Lamp", "It Must Be Magic", the Rick James duets-"Fire & Desire" etc. Trust me you will be hooked by now. Teena is one of those artists (like Madonna) who reinvents herself, she went from disco to the 80's dance to heavy metal to jazz and still maintains a solid audience. If you don't know Lady T, get to know her, because her music moves your feet and your soul and you will not want to stop listening to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teena Marie only gets better with time, May 11, 2005

By	Olivia Pacini "Oli" (California) - See all my reviews

OOH LA LA and LOVERGIRL are two of my favorite songs, but you don't know nothing about my idol TEENA if you havent heard her latest album that was released in 2004, "LA DONA". I purchased this this album before ever hearing one song. An album by her, after 10 years, was sure to be her best. This is the best money I have ever spent. After listening to all 17 tracks, I wanted to pass it around to everyone. None of these songs are played on the radio here. We all know about TEENA, but when I ask if anyone has heard "LA DONA" I get the same response. "I didn't know she released a new album." So I actually gave my copy away and went to purchase a brand new one for myself. I have done this at least 7 times now. "STILL IN LOVE", "HONEY CALL", and "MY BODY'S HUNGRY" are my favorite. The title of these songs should be enough to make you wanna listen. "MAKAVELLI NEVER LIED" will have you dancing everytime. "I GOT YOU", the duet with Rick James, brings back memories of the old school music from both Rick and Teena. I have contacted local radio stations to request this song. I love what TEENA MARIE does with music. She even uses her voice as an instrument, not only singing, but with every HEEEE and UHHH and OOH WEE and WOOOOH. If I had to describe her in one word: "EARGASM" Give me your address. I'll send you a copy. You are missing out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Lady T !!!, January 18, 2001

By A Customer

Wow! Where do I begin? I LOVE me some Teeena Marie! Her soulful style and classic love ballads resonate within my soul. This CD is a staple in my collection and will be for many, many years to come. The only songs missing from this greatest hits is "Fire And Desire" and "Square Biz". My personal favorites are "If I Were A Bell", "Dear Lover" and "Out On A Limb". My dream is to one day see her in concert. To any Teena Marie fan---get this CD!
