TEENA MARIE – NATURAL CAUSES

Teena Marie, or sometimes called Lady Tee, got one of the most distinctive soprano voice in the music industry during her time. After graduating from high school and briefly attending Santa Monica College, Teena Marie signed with Motown Records as a protege of Rick James, one of the label’s biggest rising stars at the time. She revolutionized the R&B and the soul music genres, which earned her the title of Ivory Queen of Soul.

She’s also a gifted musician and a virtuoso when it comes to playing various instruments such as guitars, keyboards, and percussions. However, not everything went according to her plan. In 2004 while staying in a hotel room, Teena Marie got struck with a large picture frame that fell on her while she was sleeping. We’re just not sure if the insurance covered the damages done to the singer during that incident, but that caused her seizures for the rest of her life. She died in 2010 because of natural causes.
