"Look what I have done in this lifetime, with this body," said Tina Turner, in a documentary released about her life in 2021. "I'm a girl from a cotton field, that pulled myself above what was not taught to me."
Tina Turner's life was a story of trauma and triumph - she was the star known for her energetic stage performances and her incomparable soulful, husky voice, who overcame several personal and professional struggles to become the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll.
Following her death at the age of 83, tributes have been paid to a "legend", an "icon" and a "remarkable force of nature," from fellow music stars to the White House, with clips of her biggest hits - including Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits, The Best, We Don't Need Another Hero, and What's Love Got To Do With It - flooding social media.

I was more into Deep Purple, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, early Van Halen/Roth when i was young, but heard quite a wide variety of music due to my mom: she had stuff like The Inkspots, Jim Nabors (who knew Gomer could sing so well), Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach.... but no Tina T.
I also knew her more from Mad Max, but have heard some of her stuff.
Can't say much about her: I miss MDC more. :/
