Found dead at her home in California on Sunday, 54 year old Teena Marie (real name Mary Christine Brockert), came on the music scene in 1979 with her debut album that included a R&B top 10 hit with mentor (and later lover) Rick James called "I'm Just a Sucker for Your Love." Because of being on the Motown label early on, many thought Marie was African American until her appearance on "Soul Train" with Rick James singing the hit duet in 1979. Marie would later go on to more success on the R&B charts as well as a top 10 Billboard hit - "Lovergirl." Here is another one of her appearances on "Soul Train" with her only #1 R&B hit called "Ooo La La La"...
