I remember tackling Aquarius in the HS jazz band, a little lacking without McCoo. The tempo changes were interesting.

As a little kid, the first time I saw the Ike and Tina Revue perform Proud Mary on a TV show, I understood the phrase “Blew my mind”.

Genius, RIP.

I admire her resolve to leave Ike after that fight with no money to pay for even a hotel room...and the perseverance to become a super star.

Tina Turner became a Swiss Citizen in 2013 after living there since 2003. At that time, she also relinquished her US Citizenship. She’s been a resident of Zurich for 20 years.

God, forgive me, but she was HOT! HOT! HOT! I’m a red-blooded U.S. Male and when that woman let loose, both her voice and her moves, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Every time. Lordy. RIP Ms. Tina.

Her part as the Acid Queen in "Tommy" was truly astonishing.

"60 Minutes" had a segment on her at her place in Switzerland a few months ago. She seemed very happy and at peace with herself.

She was an astounding performer. I saw her live in 1969, when she was still with Ike, and she was making grown men cry. Here she is later on, with Mick:
