Tegis Posted May 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2023 Grew up during her comeback-years. Her repertoir is amazing. Arguably performed the best Bond-tune as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2023 River Deep, that was about it for me. Not a big fan. Like Janis Joplin, a bit too shrieky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but I'd throw Nutbush in there too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2023 That's a biggie. Bloody good singer, a really great selection of bangers, and yes a top 5 Bond theme to her name. She'll be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Watching a programme about her now. No doubt everyone has known this for nearly 40 years, but I had no idea that Mark Knopfler wrote private dancer or that Jeff Beck is on guitar for it. I’m not particularly knowledgeable on her work, but just from cultural osmosis it’s clear she’s had an incredibly notable and successful career. Probably alongside Madonna, one of the first signers I knew of as a kid. If you asked me in the 90’s to name a female singer in a word association style game, a very strong chance I’d say Tina Turner.

Seat68 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 My liking stops at the time the ike and Tina revue stopped. Not a fan of the comeback material but then it was never aimed at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 First heard of her in about 1964 when the group I was in supported The Spencer Davis Group at The Casino Club in Walsall (my worst ever musical experience !!). They played "I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine", which I had never heard before. Muff Winwood was very chatty and told us they had got a load of LP's from America and this number was amongst them. Didn't know anything about the domestic abuse back then. NB - Steve Winwood did NOT speak to us; he was too busy fighting off the girls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psavfc81 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Saw Tina in the 70s at the Odeon if I remember correctly. Good show completely different from my usual prog rock band shows, certainly got the testosterone flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 With all the Tina Turner and Rolf Harris death news I completely missed that Ray Stevenson had died. That's a real shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
