RIP Tina Turner... you rocked the world with grace and style.

Janis Joplin said that Ike was the band leader but Tina Turner was the show. How right she was.

I went to Nutbush Tennessee in 2000. It is indeed tiny, there was no “City Limit” sign as apparently people kept stealing the “Nutbush” sign. There is a church and a small general store where “You go on Fridays”. Incredible to think that Tina rose from such humble beginnings, overcame an abusive relationship and became the best live performer I have ever seen in my life.

Pure style and class and no lip syncing. There will never be another like Tina Turner

[danielmiller]

They'll never be another one as good as Tina

Vale song was an absolute anthem in Australia in the 70's, 80's and even in the 90's. Every dancefloor in every pub, club, disco or school hall would fill instantly when this came on, with everyone dancing in to this day the Nutbush is well known and loved. Thanks for the music Tina, RIP

First song that came to mind when I heard the news. RIP Tina!

Thank you, TINA TURNER for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Truly an end of an era.

When Brian Johnson auditioned for Angus and Malcolm with AC/DC, this is the first song he chose to sing for them.

[TomSmith-yyuq]

This is a Tina song that just doesn't get enough airplay or credit. But it's truly one of her best. R.I.P. Tina and thank you.

Wow what a performance! The clarity in Tina’s enunciation for a live show was remarkable and such pure clarity in every lyric and note she sings. Such a performer she was that it’s difficult to tell the difference between live and the master recording! R.I.P Tina 🙏🏽

I love this clip includes the Ikettes introducing themselves. Edna went on to sing back up with Tina for years but was called Lejeune Richardson. I wish they would post the revues River Deep done before Nutbush here one day.

THE QUEEN OF ROCK N’ ROLL, so miss you lovely lady, 🎶🎶🎶👌

[minniesmomma]

No lip syncing and no auto tune. Just pure Tina! She was one of a kind! And what a beautiful woman she was!

[ALF]

This is pure gold.
One of the few rocking queens of 60s that went the distance.

[Rocanala]

You can tell she LOVED performing this song. Each performance was personal.

[judemcmaster]

R.I.P. Tina you still rock, we miss you Lovely Lady 🎶🎶❤️❤️🙏🙏

This song is just a perfect mix of rock, funk, and disco. As good today as it was back then..Tina Turner had it all.

The Empress of Sass!
I was 17 in 1976, and this was my fav song then.
I remember my all boys Anglican private school had a dance in which a nearby private Catholic girl's school was invited.
A couple of the girls realized I was a live one, and dared me to ask one of their female teachers to dance.
no problem I the next song was and I was in that teacher's face asking her to dance.
She graciously agreed, and we proceeded to jive the old barn hall down, to the hoots and giggles and hollers of all.
The girls later told me the teacher was one of the quietest nuns at the school.
I didn't see that in her. While she was up dancing with me to Tina, she let it all out.
I will never forget that memory.
Thanks Tina.
You were a genuine class act.
