About 25 years ago I took my mom to see Tina Turner after my father absolutely refused to go with her. Cyndi Lauper opened. Went in with zero expectations (probably dreading it a bit if I’m being 100% honest). Fantastic show. She never stopped moving.

Tina is one of my lifetime favorites, as I especially grew to enjoy song stylists. In this area Tina was yes, simply the best.

Song stylist...Examples for me: Tina, Rod Stewart, Frank Sinatra (Columbia years), Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Ray Charles and Johnny Cash

Like many I was a Beetles fan, and enjoyed their cute little diddy called "Help"...then I saw Tina live in Houston do "Help" ...WOW...here is a video:

A completely different song/feel.

RIP Tina

Kliph is an incredible Twitter follow.  He posts old letters-to-the-editors and stuff like this all the time to remind us the culture wars have been going on for decades.  It’s remarkable stuff

Ike and Tina were fantastic together on stage (as opposed to real life).  Ike was a blues man and a perfect musical partner for Tina.

And the Ikettes could dance circles around anybody.

Ike was also a drug addict and a serial wife beater. She did just fine on stage without her “perfect musical partner”.

A musician who was a drug addict? What will they think of next?

Lots of musicians with drug addictions. Most of them don’t become serial wife beaters. But yeah, Ike was cool.

Everyone should have tremendous respect for Tina Turner.  She always brought her A game and passion for her craft.  When you are relentlessly focused on being on the top of your game good things happen.  May she rest in peace.

First chance I've had to reply on this thread.

Back in 2011 we visited Cleveland on a drive out to Milwaukee for my 20 year reunion.  We visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  Like most museums you exit into the gift shop which at the RAR HOF also doubles as a record shop.  My younger daughter who was eight at the time was determined to find a Tina Turner CD.  My kids liked her because Proud Mary appears in the film Flushed Away which they both were watching repeatedly at the time.  My kid wanted to buy and pay for the CD herself too.  We get to the counter and the guy behind the counter prompts a conversation with my daughter starting with:
"Tina Turner's greatest hits.  Are you getting this for your parents or grandparents?" 
"No, It's for me." 
"Are you sure you don't want a Hannah Montana CD or something instead?"
"Nope, just this one."
"Good pick.  I like it!  You have great taste in music."
"Thanks."

Cute story, but also bizarre that he's impressed with her taste in music, but needs to slight her twice (the second in an incredibly douchey fashion) to get to his compliment.
