Fantastic stage performer and did brilliantly to extend her career for all those years.
But you have to say her top quality performances (Nutbush, River Deep etc) were all in conjunction with Ike rather than the popular but lesser solo hits.
Maybe a lot to be said for a music partnership based on abuse, terror & utter CUNTERY

I know the bloke Jimmy Watts, who decorated her house in Switzerland.
Said she was lovely and that at the end of the job she allowed him to keep the very expensive left over paint.
She called him back and said 'Watts love, have some second hand emulsion'

I was a roadie for Ike & Tina Turner in 1973 when they played at the old Hammersmith Odeon. She was nice. He was horrible. Fantastic gig and I had the best view sitting in the old orchestra pit.
(She was wearing green nickers)

Manuel, I once had a nasty flu which coincided with one of her songs being big. I've always associated her music with illness since then, but still do like the energy of her songs.

Coffee - For me that was her best song, a classic for sure, but I just can't help thinking of Chris Eubank when I think of Tina Turner.

Tina turner was a superb performer and made some unbelievable tunes . And she knew when to retire as well . It's a shame seeing a lot of older performers going on way past their prime . RIP Tina .

What happened to that Private Dancer bloke on here? I'd have expected him to put in an appearance on this thread.

Was never a fan, Dianna Ross for me, but sad news, decent innings though.

I was going to bring that up so glad that you've done it.
That appearance on the Tube brought her to the attention of a younger crowd who hadn't realised just what a great performer she was. Hats off to the H17 lads that made it happen.
After that show she never looked back.

We had a gay, American marketing lecturer in college. His name was John Lennon & once he told us about how he went to a Tina Turner concert & he saw one of her (male) fans in a full Tina Turner outfit with the long, spiky hair wig.
Our very last exam in the final year was Marketing & I recall that before the exam a really hot girl that was in our year turned to me & with tears in her eyes emotionally said to me 'John Lennon is dead'.
Now even though it was 1993 I thought it was some form of final exam of final year odd joke & that she was referring to John Lennon the Beatle.
So I said to her rather dismissively "Well of course he is".
She looked at me like I was some kind of uncaring monster & I perused her as if she was a weird unfunny snob who had irritated me.
It was about 2.5 hours into the exam that it dawned on me that she was talking about John Lennon our lecturer who had indeed died during the night.
We were kept back & addressed by a member of the faculty who informed us that our exam papers would be marked compassionately due to the fact that we would doubtless have been distressed to have to sit the exam after our lecturer had died.
John Lennon was the biggest Tina Turner fan I knew.

Real shame but still a great innings... not a great fan of her 80's stuff but 60-70's stuff was superb... Proud Mary... absolute choon.
