NEW YORK, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Legendary soul singer Teena Marie is
proving to the world that she only gets better with time. La Dona, her first
album in 10-years, has remained in the Top 5 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Charts
since its release on May 11th. "Still In Love," the lead single from Ms.
Marie's critically acclaimed CD, is currently #1 at the urban adult
contemporary radio format. Teena Marie's last #1 single was 1988's hit song
"Oh La La." La Dona marks Teena Marie's Cash Money Classics/Universal Records
debut. As the first artist on Cash Money's new imprint, Cash Money Classics,
Teena Marie bridges the gap between the old and new schools of Soul music.

"Still in Love," was co-produced by Teena Marie and Cash Money's in-house
producer, Mannie Fresh. The song retreats back to the soulful beginnings of
R&B with a groove influenced by Al Green's hit "What a Wonderful Thing Love
Is," making it clear that Teena Marie is back.
Over the course of her illustrious career, Ms. Marie has released over 13
albums and at least 10 compilation albums. In 1982, Teena Marie became an
advocate for recording artists of all genres when she spearheaded "The
Brockert Initiative," named in her honor. The groundbreaking initiative put
strict limitations on the length of artists' contracts with record labels. In
1994, she became an entrepreneur when she launched her own label, Sarai
Records, and independently released Passion Play.
Teena Marie is currently performing tour dates with Rick James along with
Morris Day & The Time in select cities:
