I saw her in Charlotte when I was a senior in high school. What's Love Got To Do With It tour. Best concert ever!
Let me add, anyone who can take an established song like "Lets Stay Together" by an established icon like Al Green, and then not only do a cover, but make it their own like she did, has my utmost respect as a musician. .
She was a force musically and life wise. So talented and she survived and thrived after Ike.
It's true. You also have Tom Petty, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, BB King. But it all makes sense. They were all stars in the 60's - 80's (and some with some star power a little later). But now that's 40 to 60 years ago that they became stars.
Looked it up - Ike died in 2007. It`s Only Love with Bryan Adams is a great song. If you want to go way back, check out Nutbush City Limits! RIP Tina.
She endured 16 years of abuse from Ike Turner. Doing some research I noticed that she died almost 16 years after Ike Turner. It was almost as if God tried to give her those years back.
Saw her at the coliseum in ‘87 on her “Break Every Rules!” Tour…although I was there to see the opening act, an English jazz-funk band, called Level 42.
I was a big fan of Mark King who played a “slap and pop” style of electric bass guitar. He played a Status graphite Kingbass that had blue LED lights on the fret boards.
He put on quite a performance…it was the loudest bass playing I had ever heard…and the blue LED lights on the neck less bass guitar was really cool for 1987....King’s bass playing on their hit “Something About You” was very good and loud….and it sounded just like the recorded version….not sure if most of the audience realized King’s playing ability for they were there for Tina Turner, but he was quite impressive.
