Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Teena's given name?

Answer: Mary Christine Brockert

I wish I knew how she came up with the name Teena Marie.

2. When was Tenna born?

Answer: March 5, 1956

She was born in Santa Monica, California.

3. How tall is Teena?

Answer: 4ft 11in

One of her nicknames is Little Bit.

4. Was Teena's picture on the cover of her first album 'Wild and Peaceful'?

Answer: No

Motown didn't put Teena's picture on the cover because they didn't want people to know that she was white. They just wanted everyone to enjoy the music before they found out her race. Instead the album is ivory colored and has various clouds and an ocean pictured on the front.

5. What album did the Rick James/Teena Marie duet 'Fire and Desire' appear on?

Answer: Street Songs

It first appeared on Rick's 'Street Songs' album, but can now be found on a few of Teena's greatest hits collections.

6. What was the first single released from the album 'Irons in the Fire'?

Answer: I Need Your Lovin'

'Irons' is probably my favorite work of hers.

7. Who was the album 'Irons in the fire' dedicated to?

Answer: her father

There is a picture of him on the back of the album. He passed away in 1976, but he would always tell her that she had 'so many irons in the fire', which is how the album got it's name.

8. What song did Teena write and record that was inspired by her personal relationship with Rick James?

Answer: Portuguese Love

She undoubtedly wrote many songs inspired by James, but none of the ones listed above were. Rick wrote 'Fire and Desire' and the others she wrote about someone other than Rick.

9. Complete the title of this album: " _______ City" ?

Answer: Emerald

Strangely this album was voted one of the top 500 metal albums of all time by 'Stairway to Hell' catalogue!

10. What record did Rick James say was the worst of Teena's career?

Answer: Ooo La La La

He hates this song although it has been sampled by many hip hop artists. Its not one of Teena's favorites either.
