Tammi Terrell was born Thomasina Montgomery on April 29, 1945 in Philadephia. After a moderately successful career at Scepter/Wand Records she joined the Motown label.
1965's "I Can't Believe You Love Me" b/w "Hold Me Oh My Darling" was Tammi's debut recording on the Motown label.[/center]  But it was her pairing with Marvin Gaye on such hits as "Your Precious Love", If I Could Build My Whole World Around You", If This World Were Mine" & "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" that highlighted her time at Motown Tragically, Tammi's success was short lived. She collapsed in Marvin Gaye's arms during a 1967 summer concert at Hampton-Sydney college in Virginia.
Tammi was diagnosed with a brain tumor and after several operations, she bravely tried to continue doing what she loved. Sadly, she never regained her health and on March 16, 1970, Thomasina Montgomery also known as Tammi Terrell, passed away at the age of 24. [/b] |

I always thought she was underrated. |
