Marvin Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 A legend, icon, a one off. Another huge talent who made music great leaves us. Really sad news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Totally unique soul singer. And that what she really was, a soul singer and she was fabulous at it, she just happened to record some rockish music. I have this DVD. She was in her 60s when she did this live performance. Incredible.!!! .. Like Marvin said she was a one off. I always think instead of getting whizzed off just watch something thats a positive. This is just....

Daz39 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 In 1997/8, in my 3rd year at Uni, I lived in a Council flat in Walker (it was cheap, ok!) about 1 mile east, and across the Tyne, from Gateshead Stadium. One night Tina Turner played a gig there. The wind was just right and I could hear everything. She was seriously good and energetic, the band were good, and she’d have been late 50s by then, still pumping out 2hr+ shows, dancing in heels. Some songs sound a bit meh on the radio (by any artist), but We Don’t Need Another Hero at stadium volume with crowd participation was spine-tingling. Much respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Seems like all the greats are leaving us. She rebooted an amazing career in the 80s - probably bigger then than when she was with Ike. A serious loss to music, thankfully most of her contributions are recorded for posterity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSbass Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 And from 2007, a wonderful version of 'Edith and the Kingpin' on Herbie Hancock's album 'River - The Joni Letters', accompanied by a stellar bunch of players: Dave Holland, Wayne Shorter, Vinnie Colaiuta and Lionel Loueke.....just superb. What a voice! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I had the pleasure of 20 minutes in an audition room with Tina and an agent in the late 80's, a glorious lady with the most infectious laugh and energy. I still smile when I think about it, I was young and crap, she knew it but she still made me feel I'd done well. One of the all time greats, and what a life she had. RIP Tina ❤️ 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 A great performer and one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Much overused but true in this case, an real legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 She was great. She did an uncredited (at the time) appearance on Zappas Over-Nite Sensation on Montana-the hard part, (I'm plucking the old dental floss...) just read it down. And Ike made sure she was paid. I mean, that part is seriously difficult. She was soul, she was rock, she was woman. Talent and Grace like that don't come around too often.

BassTractor Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If you haven't seen it yet: watch "Tina Live" from 2009 and be impressed. She was 69 at the time! And a half! RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Lewis Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I had the pleasure of being road crew for the European leg of Tina's 1990 Foreign Affair "farewell" tour (first of many farewell tours....). She was a wonderful woman, caring, kind and appreciative, a joy to work for. And such a pro. 100% every night, vocally perfect, full energy. She used to, with a wink, fine the band members $5 if they messed up, she never missed a trick. Band leader and MD was the late John Miles, another complete professional and a lovely bloke. Bass player was Bob Feit, great solid player. Tina's band was also Joe Cocker's too through the 90s, since they were both managed by Roger Davies. Tina was a proper star, exceptional in every way. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
