    @@premierproperties240 so what if she was lip synching??? It's not a bad thing. There are times when lip synching is done so that the quality of the performance is more pleasing to the audience. No, you don't want someone to lip synch at a concert if you paid for tickets, but during a TV performance or award show it's sometimes done because of time constraints. Get over it!!!

    It can’t be faked either. Lady T was a real one. Gifted’ talented and beautiful. She bridged a gap between black and white that shows that many of us have soul it just needs to be recognized and appreciated. Teena deserved so much more in terms of recognition and appreciation. RIP🕊...

    🤘🏾🔥Love Teena’s sound🔥. She bridged jazz funk, disco, soul with a sprinkle of rap. Because growing up in London and Uk in the 70’s and 80’s was a melting pot of music and we didn’t care what colour an artist was or anything else about them accept that the artist could get a party started. Teena did that every time. She had a Black soul which was good enough for me.
