How do YOU feel about Tina Turner?

[progmom]

Tina Turner is a goddess.
The proof is in the pudding:

1. This is serious business, people.

[MountainLaurel]

2. Saw her in concert a few years ago

And just stood there with my mouth hanging open, saying "She is 58 years old. She is 58 years old."

[progmom]

5. I had the same experience.

She was totally amazing.
I had the extreme good fortune of being invited by her label to meet her before the concert. She was gracious and kind and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. It's not all airbrushing...she is aging incredibly well.

3. Eh...we don't need another hero.

[progmom]

13. says you

:eyesroll:

[Deja Q]

4. Ok. If I wore a rubber outfit, I'd have that facial expression too

after making a lil' whoopsie... :wow:


She's awesome, no doubt about it. Great choice of songs too! A pity he's a degenerate ass for ecoming a wife beater, but as a musical duo they were the best ever. The talent, the chemistry, the looks, the lyrics, the music, you name it - they were sublime. Period.

I loved the first clip despite the poor audio quality. I wish somebody would take the time to restore the film and audio quality, that performance is kick-ass.

"A Fool in Love" is another classic...


And, OMG, Soul Train! :D :D 1972 freakin' ROCKS. Ike aged well since 1964 too. Still, it was around this time he started being so vile... :(

Hmmm, I was born in 1972... I need to start rocking. :rofl:

Oh, here's a live version of Proud Mary (1970) - SWEET! The choreography (and camerawork) is great too: http://youtube.com/watch?v=22xZJ7D3Xkg&mode=related&search=tina%20turner%20proud%20mary

6. hey! thanks for the great link!

glad you dig Tina too. :pals:

on edit - the hair on that drummer! :wow:

[Deja Q]

14. The drummer? Try the hair on the honky guitar player!

:wow:

And if you want to see a mundane, copycat-style performance by Beyonce, complete with you-know-who in the audience... http://youtube.com/watch?v=WFdFCvdIRuY&mode=related&search=tina%20turner%20proud%20mary

7. My best friend has a friend who's toured with her for years doing lighting

So my best friend has been to many Tina Turner shows, and she says she is absolutely freaking spectacular live.

[progmom]

12. oh!

I'm jealous!

[bridgit]

8. Tina's da bomb diggity...

:headbang:

[progmom]

11. glad we agree!

:yourock:

[Misunderestimator]

9. I saw her in 1984 opening for Prince... she brought the house down.

She ROCKS! Still!

[progmom]

10. yay!

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Oh man. No act should follow Tina Turner.

I can't even imagine staying to watch Prince after that.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Tina is SOOOO hot!

I love Tina!

[Deja Q]

16. Here's the video of Nutbush City Limits that should have been on the DVD I

bought a few months ago instead of that lame 1995 techno remix:

And, wow, she is fiiiiine!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Tina Turner absolutely rocks!

She is an amazing lady.......

I love love love her singing!

PLUS she can act! She was in one of the Mad Max movies, IIRC......

She inspires me forevah!

:bounce: :bounce:

18. God Dayum! God Dayum!

Tina was one of those artists who reached her peak at an older age. Those old clips you posted were okay, but damn she was great in her later years. I regret that I never saw her live.

God Dayum!

[progmom]

19. I figured people have all seen her later stuff...

But you're right - she just keeps getting better.

I've seen her live twice - I consider myself extremely lucky.

[Deja Q]

20. 60s, 70s, or 80s, she is unstoppable!

:kick:

[mitchum]

21. I like her fine, but Ike has contributed far more to music

played on arguably the first rock and roll record
pioneering electric bassist
discovered Howlin' Wolf

[RagingInMiami]

23. Simply the best

[progmom]

24. yay!

:thumbsup:

[RagingInMiami]

25. I do prefer her older stuff

Have you ever heard her sing, "I've been loving you too long"? Just amazing.

[progmom]

26. yep!

:D i have a pretty big collection of her early recordings. ike might have been a bad man, but he was quite a musician. and tina takes my breath away.

[wildhorses]

27. MADONNA wishes she was Tina....

Tina is a GODDESS


thanks for the links everybody!!!

[wildhorses]

28. does anybody have a link with Tina doing this song????

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll Ive ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well Im gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No Ill never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And I love you baby river deep mountain high

[LeftyMom]

29. I want to have a body like that when I grow up.

It's pretty inspiring to see that she's in better shape than I have any hope of ever being when she's almost old enough to be my grandmother. She's shockingly talented too.

[sundog]

30. she's great at returning fan mail in a timely manner

:thumbsup:

31. "Best Thighs in Showbusiness"

Chicago DJ Larry Lujack said that back in the 80's and for some reason it's stuck with me...
