After leaving Motown in 1982,
Teena Marie signed with Epic Records in 1983 and released the concept album
Robbery, which featured the hit "Fix It" (#21 R&B), as well as "Shadow Boxing" and "Casanova Brown." The latter was one of a number of tracks Marie would write over the years about her real-life romance with one-time mentor Rick James. The relationship had ended by that point, but the two would continue a sometimes tempestuous friendship, until James's death in August 2004. In 1984, Marie released her biggest-selling album,
Starchild It yielded the hit single
"Lovergirl", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March, 1985 and at #9 on the R&B chart.
