Tina Turner has passed

[DJ]

The "Queen of Rock and Roll" passed away today at her home in Switzerland. Apparently died after a long illness. She was 83.

 

[Story]

To which one of the colored hair threads does she belong?

 

[KoKodog]

well she’s back with Ike like the old days, getting railed on his rod and slapped around for bitchin’

Tina definitely had it going on like no other. She was, and will remain a one-off. Thanks Aunti for the good times and the memories.

Man the Private dancer album was one of her best.

She entertained million for a bunch of decades, a great talent. May she Rest In Peace.

Saw her in 2000 with Joe Cocker. Great show, so much energy.
RIP.

If it weren't for Thunderdome, never would have really known her except nostalgia shit from the era. Never watched Tommy though am a Who fan

I guess I never appreciated her until I saw the movie. Angela Basset and Lawrence Fishburne were great. And they got robbed at the Oscars.

It's worth watching if only because is so freaking bizarre.

Sad news.

 

[Glucker]

Sad news, she was one of a kind. Many of her songs take me back to my young soldier days.

Would have been better if she hadn't abandoned racist America to live in Switzerland where she became a naturalized Swiss citizen and renounced her US citizenship. Never had much time for her after that.

She did, and it was more than that with her. The abuse she took from Ike (not to mention the rest of the record industry) was unspeakable. But she prevailed to beat 'em all, just by keeping her eye on the ball and focusing on what she was good at. And being merciless in victory to those who didn't deserve any. Knew who her friends were and more importantly, who they weren't. There's a lesson in there.

Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits wrote that song Private Dancer, which Tina Turner sang and made a hit. Somehow Jeff Beck ended up playing the guitar solo on that song, and Mark Knopfler said that was the 2nd ugliest guitar solo ever recorded. That's just some trivia.

 

[wanneroo]

I thought it pretty cool she totally reinvented herself in the 80s and she made herself bigger than ever.

Still enjoy the two songs from Thunderdome.

Heaven is having one hellva party, roll on Tina

...and the first ugliest being?

I just listened to it - it was pretty anemic to say the least.
