Don’t know her politics or her faith/religion but she was one heck of an awesome singer and actress. Only the good die young compared to Feinstein, the veggie, Soros and the peanut head… 83 years is too darn young.

Goodbye Tina. She was only 5ft 4, but bigger than life.

“What’s Love Got To Do With It?” was part of the soundtrack to life in later 1984 when that song was on the pop charts.

No doubt, also a big year for Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper - not that I'm a big fan.

I was surprised a year ago to read that she and her husband Erwin Bach bought a $76. Million Dollar, ten building estate overlooking Lake Zurich in Switzerland.
Then I read her net worth was at least $270. Million Dollars, not counting his worth. So, I guess she could have easily afforded it. “What’s money got to do with it?” She may have responded to the concern Trolls.

Oh, and throw in that plastic Botox Pelosi in the group of despots for good measure. All those evil SOB’s should be 6 feet under already! But Soros is the devil incarnate so he’ll live forever!

One of the greats. She spent some time in East St. Louis, and I grew up outside there, so her songs always remind me of the place and time — in a good way.

RIP

I especially liked The Cars, as the Heartbeat City album featured some very good songs that made the charts that year.

‘River Deep, Mountain High’ greatest recorded female vocal performance in my lifetime.

Vid is from 1966, Tina lip synching to the original vocals from the record.

Surprised one of her performances didn’t take her on stage. Hard to believe she was such a dynamo. And she did this a few times a week for years.
