Teena Marie was a singular and beloved voice in contemporary music, whose legacy continues to shine after her unfortunate passing in December 2010. She released four albums for Motown between 1978-1981. But for the last several years two of them, Lady T and Irons In The Fire, were no longer in print. Tee, before her untimely death, had requested those 1980 albums be remastered and made available to her fans with any vault tracks we might find. Lady T, her second Motown album, featured the massive funk hit "Behind The Groove" and became a top 20 R&B success. Augmenting the remastered album are bonus versions of "Behind The Groove": its rare original LP mix, which was replaced almost immediately after the LP"s release with a remix that became the familiar version; a previously unreleased mix by Teena"s mentor Rick James; and a thrilling new throwback 12-inch mix by John Morales, part of the renowned "M+M" team that had created several Motown remixes during the era. Included in the package is a booklet with an essay by Brian Chin, reproduction of the original LP artwork and the lyrics from the original LP sleeve, previously unreleased photographs and detailed track annotations.
