Just one point was enough to make this next song the #9. Also of note, Yours Truly gets a perfect ranking

Same album, different mood. The next song is dramatic as it gets, I hope it won't cause any drama for going out now.

Tender was the kiss when you held me captive in your sweet embrace My lips begin to burn and my heart beats faster than the normal pace I try hard to resist that familiar smile that melts me just like wax But what's the use, I'm yours and that means forever, there's no turning backThird single from the Starlight album, this ballad manges to reach #56 on the R&B chart in 1985. 8.

The party continues with #6, another Lady Tee classic.
None of us ranked it higher than #5 but it still managed to go further than songs with top 3 rankings.

You say, you know I've got the potion, well, stop No baby, don't stop, don't you dare Aladdin, Houdini and Merlin, the magician To you they never could compareOne of the uptempo hits that established Teena Marie in the music scene was the title track to her 1981 album It Must Be Magic. It was the album's second single and it reached #30 on the R&B chart, following the tremendous success of "Square Biz." 6.

My mom had the Lady T album on vinyl and I have such vivid memories of her cleaning house to it on the weekends. It's fantastic! In other news, only on Pulse would y'all let Jammin' of all songs finish ahead of Fire and Desire.

Cause lately we can't even touch each other Without acting just like distant lovers We've even took to fighting under covers What a shame, baby, who's to blameThe Irons in the Fire album was Teena's first self-produced effort. "Young Love" came out as the second single in early 1981 and peaked at #41 on the R&B chart. 12.

Love them and leave them That's what I used to do Use and abuse them Then I laid eyes on you, it was pain before pleasureAlthough never officially released as a single, this beautiful ballad from Rick James' Street Songs album started receiving heavy R&B airplay in 1981 and became a staple. Rick James and Teena Marie reunited to perform this classic at the 2004 BET Awards shortly before Rick's death. 10. Fire and Desire (Rick James w/ Teena Marie) Points: 232 Average: 13,154 Standard deviation: 10,167Active Aggressive : 1 SHOOTER : 4 back2blk : 4 #LisaRinna : 4 Soulsista : 4 @antigonerising : 6 Ty : 9 Frigid:Glove Slap : 16 कामसूत्र : 18 🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲 : 19 Ky : 27 newpower : 29 .indulgecountry : 30 My God, I think indulge puts granola in sweet potato pie or something. Fire and Desire is a legit R&B CLASSIC. Also, I should have put DJYAMMIN in the top 10.

I feel like it's a good time to unveil two more songs and get into this top 5. Ready??
With eight top 10 rankings, the #5 song was a staple in the top 5 ever since the first lists arrived.

You made love to me like fire and rain Ooh, you know you've got to be a hurricane Killing me with kisses, oh, so subtlyLady Tee embraced the Latin sound on the sexy "Portuguese Love" released as the 3rd single from It Must Be Magic. It became one of her best known hits overtime, despite only peaking at #54 on the R&B chart initially. 5.

WELL I definitely thought this next song would be in the top 2 with ease. I sure was surprised to see I was the only one who dared to put it at #1.

Am I weak Well, sometimes I just can't hardly speak That I have to pinch myself to be sure That this love is more than I can endureThe catchy and melodic structure of "Ooo La La La" was seen as a return to form for Teena in 1988. After a series of concept albums and a departure from the trademark R&B and Funk sound that made her famous in the early 80s, when this song came out as the lead single from Naked to the World, it brought her back to the top of the charts. It is, in fact, her only #1 R&B hit and it reached #85 on the Hot 100. Over the years it has become an R&B classic also thanks to the notable sample on The Fugees' 1996 hit "Fu-Gee-La." Trey Songz also sampled it on his 2014 single "Na Na." 4.

Love's comin', so glad you're mine I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme, no Easy feelin', your love keeps getting better Say you'll leave me never and together we'll flyThe bass-heavy and infectiously Discolicious "I Need Your Lovin'" granted Teena Marie her second top 10 hit on the R&B chart as the lead single from Irons in the Fire. It was also her first self-produced major hit. 3.

Hook, line and sinker baby, that's how you caught me My second verse might be a bit old hat But don't think that I don't know what it's doing to me 'Cause I got a vibe on you the first time you saw through me, through meCorny and extremely 80s in its overproduced glory, it's no surprise that "Lovergirl" ended up being Teena Marie's biggest crossover hit. It reached #4 on the Hot 100, a feat she would never achieve in her career again and it also peaked at #9 on the R&B chart. This is certainly not the first song that comes to mind when one thinks of her career, but it is what it is. 2.

"Square Biz" just is the perfect R&B song in all its joy and bombastic and melodic production. It's no wonder it became Teena's second biggest hit on the R&B chart peaking at #3 and reaching #50 on the Hot 100 as well. Arguably her most enduring uptempo. 1.
