Happy Birthday, Teena Marie!

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Rick’s longtime collaborator & close friend, Teena Marie.💜

 

Rick mentored Teena after they met in 1979, releasing her chart topping debut- “Wild and Peaceful” with his help. The two performed together for years and the King of Funk himself coined her iconic nickname ‘Lady T’⚡️
