About Teena Marie
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Teena Marie built her recording career at Motown, where working with Rick James helped introduce Wild and Peaceful. She increasingly directed her own music, co-producing Lady T before taking full production responsibility on Irons in the Fire and It Must Be Magic. I Need Your Lovin' and Square Biz belong to that period. Later releases for Epic and other labels continued a career combining singing, songwriting and record production.
