With all the excellent recent news about Tammi it has got me thinking about what direction she might have followed had she not died.
I could foresee further collaboration with Marvin but as a solo artist I would envisage that Motown would have not allowed her to stray into Diana territory and possibly taken her towards a more hard hitting sound.
I know that this is all speculation given her untimely death but I can imagine that her vocal versatility may have resulted in her recording songs in the Teena Marie "spectrum" as well as her softer style.
Perhaps she would have left Motown too - anybody know when her contract was going to expire?
What do you think?
