We all lost Teena Marie on Dec. 26th.  Motown did a tribute to her for one last time during a private ceremony yesterday.

Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Berry Gordy Jr., Shanice Wilson, and Queen Latifah all paid their respects to Teena at a two-hour private ceremony in Los Angeles at ‘Forest Lawn Memorial Park’.

During the ceremony, Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr and Stevie Wonder, spoke of their memories of Teena.  Smokey and Shanice performed to those in attendance.  Teena’s daughter Alia Rose Brockert memorialized her mother also, Kym Whitley, Shirley Murdock, and New Edition were in attendance.

One of the most phenomenally underestimated talents ever. This woman’s ability was beyond words and I will greatly miss her presence in the industry.
