They Say...
This has 14 of the more romantic, urban adult contemporary songs which Teena Marie recorded from 1981 through 1990, including the big hits "Ooo La La La" and "If I Were a Bell." Only about half of the songs appear on Lovergirl: The Teena Marie Story, the best-of collection covering her Epic years, so the overlap is substantial but not overwhelming. "Sunny Skies" is heard here in a previously unreleased extended version.
