Teena Marie - Irons In The Fire

I bought this album as a cut-out at the first Rockley Sands Soul Weekender. You Make Love Like Springtime was a massive tune on that scene at that time, as was Portuguese Love (from It Must Be Magic, which I also bought whilst I was at it).

In 1991, me and a couple of mates went to the Hammersmith Odeon to see her live, when she was touring to promote Ivory. When the show started, there was this amazing voice, but where was Teena? The voice was coming out of a very different-looking older woman in a blue-satin jump-suit and baseball cap, playing guitar. Turns out Teena had been using old photos on her record sleeves for years.

She was fucking great though.
