Marie, nicknamed Lady Tee, (sometimes spelled Lady T), was a protegée of late funk legend Rick James, and was notable as one of the few successful white performers of R&B. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards and congas. She also wrote, produced, sang and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release Irons in the Fire. She said it was her favorite album. She had a daughter, Alia Rose, who, as of 2009, sang under the name Rose Le Beau.<1><2><3> Marie died on Sunday, December 26, 2010, at home, as announced by her manager, Mike Gardner.<4> She was 54.

9. Damn. She was amazing.

I had a thing about her. I didn't know she was my age. I thought she was older. She did so many hits. All good.

16. Horrible. What a loss. My favorite song was Casanova Brown.

What a talented musician/singer/songwriter. She never got the recognition or props she deserved.
