Teena Marie (born Mary Christine Brockert; March 5, 1956 – December 26, 2010) was an American singer-songwriter and producer. She was known by her childhood nickname Tina before taking the stage name Teena Marie and later acquired the nickname Lady Tee (sometimes spelled Lady T), given to her by her collaborator and friend, Rick James. She was known for her distinctive and soulful soprano vocals, which caused many listeners to believe she was black.

Starchild is the sixth album by Teena Marie, released in 1984. Following the relative commercial failure of her previous album, Robbery, Starchild became the highest-selling album of Marie's career. It peaked at on the US Black Albums chart and on the Billboard Albums chart. Lead single "Lovergirl" became a major hit, reaching on the Billboard Hot 100 (Marie's only top 30 hit on that chart).

Special offers and product promotions. One thing you can always expect from Teena Marie is the unexpected. And 'Emerald City' certainly is,especially after her more commercial albums of the past few years. In the case of this album she retains those kind of tunes for the first part,leaving the last half to her own musical flights of fancy.

Teena Marie, known as the "Ivory Queen of Soul," was certainly not the first white act to sing soul music, but she was arguably among the most gifted and respected, and was thoroughly embraced by the black audience. She was first signed to the legendary Motown label back in 1979 at age 19, working with James, with whom she would have long, turbulent but musically magical relationship.
