I saw Tina live when she was 62 and she Wore those 22 yr old background dancers OUT! They struggled to keep up and she was singing and dancing her ass off at 62.
Yes I had the same experience. Tina performed 3 hours in heels. I think she only left the stage briefly once & she without a doubt out danced ALL of the 20 something backup dancers. Legend & the Best concert I have ever seen 😊
I saw them perform this at Filmore West in 1969. I think she was wearing the same dress. It amazed me to learn that she took so much abuse from Ike since she looked like she could knock him out if she wanted to.
When I see Ms Tina during this time, it pains me to know what she was enduring at the hands of Ike. Her leaving Ike, taking back her power, and thriving, inspired many women to do the same (Myself included) I love that she was very vocal about what happened to her, because often DV survivors are told not to talk about it after "It's over." I'm glad she was a force for change, and became an icon in the industry without Ike. Rest in peace Tina
John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival originally recorded "Proud Mary" in 1968. The song was released as a single in January 1969 and was a major hit, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Other artists who recorded versions of "Proud Mary" include: Solomon Burke Released his version in 1969, which reached number 15 on the Billboard R&B chart Ike & Tina Turner Released their version in 1971, which reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Billboard R&B chart. They won a Grammy Award for their rendition in 1972. Tina Turner Continued to perform the song during her solo career and recorded new versions for her studio and live albums. Fogerty wrote "Proud Mary" in the summer of 1968, shortly after receiving his discharge papers from the army. The song is about a person who leaves a steady job to take a riverboat ride and experience a new life on the river. Wickipedia
@@Denisehoma1111 CCR first, agreed. Tina's solo version is second with the "we like to do things nice and easy...we like to do it nice and rough." Beyonce's Kennedy Center version was a nice tribute to Tina. Then there is the version Beyonce and Tina did a live version as a duet.
To say their relationship was problematic diminishes the the level of cruelty Ike did to her. She had the strength and courage to leave with only a few coins in her purse and nowhere to go and rebuilt her career to become a true legend. Black Pegasus you are a good and true man who loves God, your wife and daughters. Think about the women, children and men who have only known pain and humiliation. BTW Beyoncé did Proud Mary for Tina when Tina received the Kennedy Center Award. Tina was wonderful to her and they did it together on one of the award shows. Check out Kennedy Center Awards.
@@mae7158 His father was in all likelihood a wife and child beater too. It may be an example of nasty father, nasty son. I just watched "What's Love Got To Do With It" last night and Laurence Fishburne did a fantastic job of playing Ike and emanated those very bad vibes like the excellent actor he is. And of course Angela Bassett was simply superb as Tina Turner.
@@ToddSauve While I agree with the "learn it from how you were raised method", I also believe everyone has the power to change their outcome. My sister in-law grew up in a horrible situation with zero help or hope. She has turned out into a wonderful mother of my four nephews and doesn't repeat things that has happened to her in her now adult life. Evil is in everyone, it's up to the person whether they will let it win. So I repeat, Ike was an evil and weak man, period.
@@mae7158 I agree with you in 99% of what you said. I don't like _completely_ dismissing other humans as irredeemably evil, however. Ike was evil in how he treated Tina much of the time though I don't know the man personally. He apparently ended up in a California prison. All we can do is offer up a prayer to God for their redemption and hope they change. It can be done. Ike is probably dead now. I hope he turned it around.
Hard to imagine but she became more beautiful with every passing year. She was what I consider to be the epitome of womanhood. She was always stunning and remained so in her last years. Thanks for your reaction to this classic.
I totally agree and have also suggest Proud Mary from that concert. It’s total different and is stamped with Tina’s own style. Nutbush from that concert is fantastic too! Her dancing on that arm at 60!!! WOWEE!! The whole concert is terrific!
OMG, Robert - watch the video of her doing this song 30 years after this show! Even better! Dancing like that in those high heels. Wowser! And as a woman, I can still say that NOBODY had better legs than Tina. And Ike, even though he was an ab*ser, could lay claim to being on "Rocket 88" arguably the first rock n roll song back in the 50s. After Tina escaped, she told the divorce court that Ike could have everything, all she wanted was the right to the name "Tina Turner." Tina also did duets with the likes of Bowie and Jagger, but if she was onstage, (just like Elvis) you looked at Tina. Part of me aches for the misery she endured, but the greater part rejoices in her triumphs. As the song goes - "Simply the Best."
@Kathryne0816, Tina's legs were so glam that Hanes hosiery hired her do commercials for their hose products. I believe she did those commercials for several years.
EXACTLY!!! Tina on her own is truly amazing, I’ve suggested Wembley 2000 from her One Last Time Tour, but of course she’s fabulous so other versions are fantastic also!! ❤️
One of my most favorite duets was Tina and Bryan Adams. "It's Only Love" is such a fun song, and she always looked like she was having a blast when they sang together.
"Proud Mary" is a song by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by vocalist and lead guitarist John Fogerty. It was released as a single in January 1969 by Fantasy Records and on the band's second studio album, Bayou Country. The song became a major hit in the United States, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1969, the first of five singles to peak at No. 2 for the group. Later that year, R&B singer Solomon Burke released a rendition on Bell Records that reached No. 15 on the Billboard R&B chart. Another version by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner, released on Liberty Records in 1971, did nearly as well as the original on the charts, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No 5 on the Billboard R&B chart. They won a Grammy Award for their rendition in 1972. After the disbandment of the duo, Tina continued to perform the song during her solo career, and recorded new versions of it for her studio as well as live albums.
You have got to watch Tina Turner's performance of "Proud Mary" live at Wembley Stadium (2000). Over the yrs. she changed the performance & started "nice & easy" & finished "nice & rough". You will see the hottest 60 yr. old woman dancing with her 20 yr. old back-up dancers. And, she packed them in at Wembley!
What’s Love Got To Do With It was the beginning of her comeback. After Ike, after her collapse, after her soul searching, she arose like the phoenix she was and took over the world!!!
No one had the energy that Tina did. She was absolutely amazing, and I loved her…still love her music. Ike was an abusive man, and would beat her. Once she left him, she came well into her own. I’m glad she was able to escape him.
Yeah, you could say their relationship was a little problematic. Ike tried to kill her on multiple occasions and kept her terrified. Back in those days it was even harder for a battered woman to escape.
When even John Fogerty himself said that the song was now hers! This same thing happened when Linda Ronstadt covered The Rolling Stones song "Tumbling Dice"!
Do watch (even if only for yourself) Tina singing this live in Wembley at 60 years old, there are no words. Would like to suggest you watch Brian Gibson's 1993 brilliant biopic of Tina "What's love got to do with it" with Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett, Tina was one of a kind.
All of THIS!!! the version by Tina is hands down my favorite of allllll time! Especially the one where they start off ‘nice’ hahahaha… I don’t care what anyone says, nobody can touch this song the same way ✨✨
I remember watching this the first time......what I would give for tv would be like it was then.....pure talent and entertainment coming into your living room giving you a break from the drama of the world.....
The lady you pointed out in the background is singer Claudia Lennear. Lennear dated Mick Jagger when Ike & Tina Turner were the opening act for the Rolling Stones on their American tour. Lennear's relationships with Mick Jagger and David Bowie are often cited as inspiration for The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar."
I was fortunate enough to see the Tina musical right before she passed. Almost days literally. What a show! She taught all the actors her dance moves personally and it was glorious. The closest I ever got to seeing Tina live. The musical was brutal in parts but she was so triumphant in the end that you couldn’t help but be overjoyed for her. Nothing was glossed over. I was introduced to a lot of Tina’s music during boot camp. We went to sleep to either the “What’s Love Got to Do With It” album or anything by Luther. Good memories!
Ok, yes it’s a cover but Tina seriously owns it! She is swag personified. AND excuse me Tina is the finest one in that group of women, she is the star attraction and the sexiest one there!! A lot of artists got their style and moves from her and that era. As amazing a star as Tina is here (steals the show IMO) you need to see Tina doing this on her own and with a really awesome twist in the style, way better I think, especially then way she teases the crowd is so fun, check it out from her concert at Wembley 2000 where she was 60yo doing Proud Mary and please check out Nutbush from the same concert!! The whole damn concert is phenomenal!! Come on BP, more Tina - GO! ❤️
Yep I agree, and I watched a performance, not sure if it’s the same one you’re talking about? But she still rocking it she did not miss a beat and she did it in stilettos!!
Back in the day, everyone watched The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. He showcased all the popular entertainment acts -singers, groups, dancers, comedians, musicians, actors, etc.
I'm an old man. I remember these days. I loved Tina's performances. What might surprise you is how popular she is in Australia. She somehow got imbedded into the rugby community down there and just took off.
We all know NO-ONE would have ever heard of Ike Turner without Tina!!! I wish she could have gotten out sooner😢. Without her talent there would have been no money, but she had to give up everything to leave.
My 15 yo self was blown away by seeing this on TV. We watched Ed Sullivan every week, always hoping to see one of the cool groups for "the youngsters" as Sullivan used to say. Most were fairly subdued, usually lip synched (by Sullivans instructions) and we just took it for what it was. Then came Tina and I can't think of a more energetic eye popping performance. Iconic 😍🤩
It's worth mentioning that when people say "Western culture ", they're actually referring to "American culture " only. North America and Europe are very different on many levels (ie culture, food, mentality, fashion, way of life...) and can't be compared. Botox, face-lift, boob jobs etc are mostly for celebrities in Europe (and it's not common practice tbf). We're wo different continents, two different cultures. Peace. And yeah Tina was fire. I was truly sad when she passed.
Not sure if anyone already answered but it's called Proud Mary because that was the name of the riverboat. Or that's what I remember but I'm 64 so my memory isn't what it used to be 😂
You should do Tina doing this live in later life omg she was over 60 when she done it an what a truly amazing woman she was, she's done she real wonderful songs R.I.P. Tina ❤❤❤
Love Tina and what she went through and her story is amazing! I grew up in St Louis and she might have not been there long but she did live there in her early life and we are Proud she did!!! I'm there for seeing early performances! They taught all the younger generations and that's flowed on down! Your point of view makes me look at things differently and I love it! ❤ (I do feel like I keep saying I'll show up to a lot lately... ROFL (my husband and I would love a live anything to participate in as members wink wink nudge nudge)) ❤❤❤
The backup singer you pointed out did background vocals for many famous singers and bands. She hooked up with Mick Jagger and was in Playboy. She was also featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. That is a great documentary to watch because you really learn about how important the backup singers were to the biggest stars in the industry.
Late night tv was worth watching when I was growing up. I had a lot of ear infections growing up so I was awake a lot of nights. So thankful I got to see a lot of these growing up that offers didn't. Tina went to have her hair bleached but her hair fell out. That's where the wigs came into play. Pure accidental. She wore them from that day on. I miss her 💔 (and yes I'm white) Marvin was killed in my birthday 84. Hurts. I love his songs. I know someone famous that travels non stop - I asked him to sing Marvin - he won't do it out of respect for him. I get it and respect him for that. Everyone else he'll do when he's home.
When i was young my dad would play this song as more of a country vibe and my sisters and me always called this song Rolling down the River. We would yell at our dad please play Rollin down the river Daddy!!😂❤
Saw Ike and Tina Turner and BB King in Monroe, Louisiana on July 3rd, 1971. She put on a great show -- she WAS the show!! On the way home they announced on the radio Jim Morrison died.
Canadian here, saw Tina Turner at our Air Canada Centre in Toronto in the very early 2000's, she was fire and she had been older at that time too. Full concert she never stopped, those legs of hers in those heels kept strutting. Always said I wanted to see her and the Rolling Stones live before I died LOL. Saw the Stones 'Bridges to Babylon' tour, in the mid to late 1990's at our Skydome, another freaking awesome concert. Folks were smoking weed the entire time LOL...my friends too.
This was back when the Beatles were popular and Ike had a Beatle hairstyle. Andre and outcast did the video Hey ya imitating Beatlemania this the Beatle hairstyles. At the end of proud Mary Tina and the girls were doing a dance called the swim popular in the 60s thus one of the girls was holding her nose like you do when you start to swim. John Foggartey of creedence Clearwater revival made a hit of the song thats where you heard it. John Foggerty who wrote the song said he loved it when the girls did it.😊
Love Tina❤❤ My whole life my Father was in love with Tina. She was his celebrity Love. He always said she had the best legs of anyone, and she definatly did.
Creedence song covered by Tina. Mick Jagger once went to see Tina perform and the next time she went to watch a Rolling Stones show she noticed he had stolen her dance moves!😂
Great reaction! Problematic! Ike was an evil man. You really should watch the movie "Whats Love Got To Do With It", Angela Bassett plays Tina and does a amazing job. Would love to see you react to the movie. Rest In Peace Tina Turner.
😊❤ Hi Black P! I love your rants!! LOL 😂 And so far I agree with you! 😅 Next, while this young Tina's performance is still fresh in your mind - Tina live at Wembley, 2000 Proud Mary - is an absolute must!! It's from her last concert tour. She was about 4 months away from her 61st birthday. She is still in 6 inch heels, a 6 inch hemline and shakin it better than anybody else can!! LOL 😂 I'm not kidding! But it's the performance of her life! Tina has you hanging on every single moment from the beginning!! The 'intro' itself is about 2.5 minutes!! LOL 😂 The whole performance is about 9.5 minutes!! 😮😃 I swear it will go in your book as some of the best 9.5 minutes of your life! (As compared to other things under 10 minutes!) It really would be a shame for you to miss it! And rhe comparison between the two videos is awesome! She got better every single day of her life! I miss her! 😢😇 Luv ya! 😊❤❤
You need to check out Tina Turner at Wembley Concert singing Proud Mary ( she was 60 and still a powerhouse....heels and mini dress). She had some legs and what a voice and aged like fine wine. Speaking of Beyonce........ She did the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Tina and sang Proud Mary. Tina was big in the U.S. but had more fame in Europe. You should watch the movie about Tina's life with Ike....."What's love Got To Do With It" If you are familiar with the reality tv show "Sweetie Pie's" .. The woman that owns that restaurant in or around St.. Louis, Missouri was one of Tina's back up singer when she was with Ike. Black people didn't wear their natural hair back then until the 70's when across became popular. Know your history. In order for black people to fit into white society,b they had to blend in and straighten their hair. They still couldn't go into or use a lot of white establishments or facilities. Jim Crow laws were still used in the south. Separate and unequal. Even big stars that were black couldn't sleep or eat in hotels where they were performing. Things were better for black entertainers in the north. Now black men are shaving their heads and black women do whatever they want to with their hair. The Ed Sullivan Show started in the 50's and sent into the 70's. All the best acts were on his show.
I had the pleasure of seeing Tina Turner in concert 27 years ago. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and the baby kept rolling and dancing to the music. Everyone around me was waiting for me to go into labor. Tina had the same energy and danced even better then she is in this video. At 84 she is still rolling!!
There is a story about Tina Turner's dance moves, one of them was that she would run her hands thru her hair to wipe away the sweat while she was dancing.
The girl you find "fine" (because yes, she is) is named PP Arnold. She left the Ikettes to have her own amazing career in the UK. Check out PP Arnold - The 1st Cut is the Deepest. She is beautiful deep down in her soul. She went on to have a great gospel career as well, and she is still going strong. Love love love her! And, thank you for this podcast - for bringing joy, often in the midst of a lot of darkness.
John Fogarty of Creedance wrote Proud Mary. Tina blew it up especially live BUT I love Creedance Clearwater's version too. Check it out. Who doesn't love Tina y'all!?!
The High Priestess of Rock 'n' Roll! She'll do this iconic number throughout her long career & while post 60 y.o. her dancing slows her vocal performance & stage presence mega increases. She becomes master of the vamp, the tease, the come on, just excellent. Just when you think she couldn't get any better, she magnificently levels up. There is vid of her in her later years performing this in Paris & Amsterdam, amongst other venues & it's astounding, electrifying. Yes, this was written & first performed by CCR. I like both versions! Why does one have to be 'better' than the other??? Like comparing apples to oranges.
I'd love to see how big your eyes get watching Cher perform the song "If I Could Turn Back Time" on board the Navy battleship Missouri. Keep in mind, she's 43 when she does this recording. And yes, all of the guys watching are real sailors.
Great reaction to an amazing woman! You should react to a more recent live of this when she was about 60 and did this - Rocking it! Live in Arnhem Netherlands. Its on her channel. She outperforms the 20-something year old backups on stage with her. She is amazing! Private Dancer. Thunderdome.. amazing.
you HAVE to see Tina Turner on Wembley concert 2000 - she was 60 years old and the best and epic I ever saw 🤯 And I would hardly recommend to do the documentary - it’s unbelievable, very heavy stuff. Love from Austria 🇦🇹
I can remember watching this on The Ed Sullivan Show. I was just a little kid but I was impressed. The Doors was also on the Sullivan Show. They did " Light my Fire ". The censors forbid them to sing the line " girl we couldn't get much higher. " He agreed but sang it. Jim Morrison was arrested right on stage.
She sang, she danced she put up with his shit, then she ran and was finally free!❤
I was GLAD when she left❤
I loved it when she told the judge that all she wanted was her name. She had worked so hard for it and that's all she wanted
I saw Tina live when she was 62 and she Wore those 22 yr old background dancers OUT! They struggled to keep up and she was singing and dancing her ass off at 62.

The studio version, where they start slow and finish it fast, is also an amazing version, definitely worth checking out.
"Nice and rough" - definitely need that version.
She was dancing like that in her 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
They do a live version of slow at first on the midnight special
There are many live versions too.

You will see the hottest 60 yr. old woman dancing with her 20 yr. old back-up dancers. And, she packed them in at Wembley!
I've always been amazed that she had enough breath to dance like that AND sing!
What’s Love Got To Do With It was the beginning of her comeback. After Ike, after her collapse, after her soul searching, she arose like the phoenix she was and took over the world!!!
No one had the energy that Tina did. She was absolutely amazing, and I loved her…still love her music. Ike was an abusive man, and would beat her. Once she left him, she came well into her own. I’m glad she was able to escape him.
Yeah, you could say their relationship was a little problematic. Ike tried to kill her on multiple occasions and kept her terrified. Back in those days it was even harder for a battered woman to escape.
Problematic is an understatement
I was privileged to see Tina on her farewell tour with Joe Cocker unforgettable evening!!
I saw them in Cleveland. They were both phenomenal!
CCR wrote it and when Tina sang it, she then owned it!
Meh, she rented it, & John Fogerty didn't beat down any CCR fellers, or get beat up by them, singin' it.
The Truth !!!
Opinion
I like CCR best...but it's fun watching Tina
When even John Fogerty himself said that the song was now hers!
This same thing happened when Linda Ronstadt covered The Rolling Stones song "Tumbling Dice"!
Tina will forever be THE QUEEN. Period!
Tina was like a force of nature on stage. The physical conditioning to dance and sing the way she did is incredible
River Deep and Mountain High. Great song. She had some beautiful legs. Thank you for your songs Tina ❤
One of my favorite songs of hers.
Tina Turner = Class, Beauty, Talent, Courage. Absolute treasure. I needed a day off when she passed.
CCR! John Fogerty’s version is excellent.
The original as he wrote it.
She still had all that energy up until the end. She was fantastic!
Tina was a big influence specifically on Mick Jaggers stage presence, among many others. Legend!
Jagger disputes this. After all - he was moving like this long before anyone heard of Tina Turner.
Do watch (even if only for yourself) Tina singing this live in Wembley at 60 years old, there are no words. Would like to suggest you watch Brian Gibson's 1993 brilliant biopic of Tina "What's love got to do with it" with Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett, Tina was one of a kind.
Totally agree, Tina’s own live version of this at Wembley 2000 is phenomenal. ❤
@@liz6965 I have watched it so many times and I'm always left in awe of her energy and talent.
Tina pure bad ass, amazingly strong and talented. Also, my kryptonite always loved Tina..... RIP Beautiful soul...

RIP Queen Tina.
Thanks for sharing this, Robert.
Ya gotta watch the movie made about her life and everything she went through with Ike.
Whats Love Got To Do With It.
See Tina Turner as The Acid Queen in the movie version of The Who's rock opera "Tommy". Those legs and voice were still fine when she got old!
My favourite Tina song is River Deep Mountain High

Lennear's relationships with Mick Jagger and David Bowie are often cited as inspiration for The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar."
David Bowie’s Lady Grinning Soul was inspired by Claudia.
I was fortunate enough to see the Tina musical right before she passed. Almost days literally. What a show! She taught all the actors her dance moves personally and it was glorious. The closest I ever got to seeing Tina live. The musical was brutal in parts but she was so triumphant in the end that you couldn’t help but be overjoyed for her. Nothing was glossed over.
I was introduced to a lot of Tina’s music during boot camp. We went to sleep to either the “What’s Love Got to Do With It” album or anything by Luther. Good memories!
A other song is we don’t need another hero. She has a lot of great songs. Hope you wanna react to more Tina Turner. RIP Tina 🕊️
Ok, yes it’s a cover but Tina seriously owns it! She is swag personified. AND excuse me Tina is the finest one in that group of women, she is the star attraction and the sexiest one there!!
A lot of artists got their style and moves from her and that era. As amazing a star as Tina is here (steals the show IMO) you need to see Tina doing this on her own and with a really awesome twist in the style, way better I think, especially then way she teases the crowd is so fun, check it out from her concert at Wembley 2000 where she was 60yo doing Proud Mary and please check out Nutbush from the same concert!! The whole damn concert is phenomenal!! Come on BP, more Tina - GO! ❤️
Yep I agree, and I watched a performance, not sure if it’s the same one you’re talking about?
But she still rocking it she did not miss a beat and she did it in stilettos!!
When it was so racist Ed Sullivan was one of the men that frequently had black performers on his nationally televised show.
Another one was Dick Clark of American Bandstand.
@@tracyepaul7872 That is true
Tina was fine all the years of her life; a beautiful and talented soul through and through.
Back in the day, everyone watched The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. He showcased all the popular entertainment acts -singers, groups, dancers, comedians, musicians, actors, etc.
I'm an old man. I remember these days. I loved Tina's performances.
What might surprise you is how popular she is in Australia. She somehow got imbedded into the rugby community down there and just took off.
Is that how she ended up in The Mad Max movie franchise?
We all know NO-ONE would have ever heard of Ike Turner without Tina!!! I wish she could have gotten out sooner😢. Without her talent there would have been no money, but she had to give up everything to leave.
Blessed to see Ike And Tina Turner Revue . They were the a opening Act for The Jackson5!
Wow, Amazing Talents.
My 15 yo self was blown away by seeing this on TV. We watched Ed Sullivan every week, always hoping to see one of the cool groups for "the youngsters" as Sullivan used to say. Most were fairly subdued, usually lip synched (by Sullivans instructions) and we just took it for what it was. Then came Tina and I can't think of a more energetic eye popping performance. Iconic 😍🤩
It’s even better when Tina sings at her own concerts. She would start the song slowly and then halfway through up the tempo.
It's worth mentioning that when people say "Western culture ", they're actually referring to "American culture " only.
North America and Europe are very different on many levels (ie culture, food, mentality, fashion, way of life...) and can't be compared.
Botox, face-lift, boob jobs etc are mostly for celebrities in Europe (and it's not common practice tbf).
We're wo different continents, two different cultures.
Peace.
And yeah Tina was fire. I was truly sad when she passed.
Tina insured her legs. She had killer legs. Grew up watching her in her prime. Love her. RIP
Not sure if anyone already answered but it's called Proud Mary because that was the name of the riverboat. Or that's what I remember but I'm 64 so my memory isn't what it used to be 😂
Tina can move boy!!! Love this song!!
You should do Tina doing this live in later life omg she was over 60 when she done it an what a truly amazing woman she was, she's done she real wonderful songs R.I.P. Tina ❤❤❤
John Fogerty from Creedence wrote it & sung it when he was part of CCR.
Love Tina and what she went through and her story is amazing! I grew up in St Louis and she might have not been there long but she did live there in her early life and we are Proud she did!!! I'm there for seeing early performances! They taught all the younger generations and that's flowed on down! Your point of view makes me look at things differently and I love it! ❤ (I do feel like I keep saying I'll show up to a lot lately... ROFL (my husband and I would love a live anything to participate in as members wink wink nudge nudge)) ❤❤❤
during the 50s-70s, so many people would perform/cover songs that just came out like a year or two before... and many times, both were hits.
The backup singer you pointed out did background vocals for many famous singers and bands. She hooked up with Mick Jagger and was in Playboy. She was also featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. That is a great documentary to watch because you really learn about how important the backup singers were to the biggest stars in the industry.
Claudia Linnear. Bowie’s Lady Grinning Soul is supposedly about her too, & it’s a gorgeous song.
@sukie584 thank you! I couldn't remember her name. 😁
This was a great song! They did an amazing rendition. I also loved their "River Deep, Mountain High."
Such a great high energy performance and all live with zero effects.
EVERYONE loved Tina!! She’s beautiful, my old white mom still lights up when we talk about Tina!!
So happy you showed this one! I was around 17 then and just loved her!
I’ve got 4 versions of this song . In my playlist .
CCR, ELVIS , Tina Turner , and a singer from the voice ! Love them all .
Proud Mary was the last song she did at her last concert. Watch Tina Turner Proud Mary Wimberly. This a short version of the way she did the song.
She is so special, how she made that dress work like that as short as it was…magical!
Late night tv was worth watching when I was growing up. I had a lot of ear infections growing up so I was awake a lot of nights. So thankful I got to see a lot of these growing up that offers didn't.
Tina went to have her hair bleached but her hair fell out. That's where the wigs came into play. Pure accidental. She wore them from that day on. I miss her 💔 (and yes I'm white) Marvin was killed in my birthday 84. Hurts. I love his songs. I know someone famous that travels non stop - I asked him to sing Marvin - he won't do it out of respect for him. I get it and respect him for that. Everyone else he'll do when he's home.
When i was young my dad would play this song as more of a country vibe and my sisters and me always called this song Rolling down the River. We would yell at our dad please play Rollin down the river Daddy!!😂❤
Saw Ike and Tina Turner and BB King in Monroe, Louisiana on July 3rd, 1971. She put on a great show -- she WAS the show!! On the way home they announced on the radio Jim Morrison died.
Canadian here, saw Tina Turner at our Air Canada Centre in Toronto in the very early 2000's, she was fire and she had been older at that time too. Full concert she never stopped, those legs of hers in those heels kept strutting. Always said I wanted to see her and the Rolling Stones live before I died LOL. Saw the Stones 'Bridges to Babylon' tour, in the mid to late 1990's at our Skydome, another freaking awesome concert. Folks were smoking weed the entire time LOL...my friends too.
This was back when the Beatles were popular and Ike had a Beatle hairstyle. Andre and outcast did the video Hey ya imitating Beatlemania this the Beatle hairstyles. At the end of proud Mary Tina and the girls were doing a dance called the swim popular in the 60s thus one of the girls was holding her nose like you do when you start to swim. John Foggartey of creedence Clearwater revival made a hit of the song thats where you heard it. John Foggerty who wrote the song said he loved it when the girls did it.😊
Love Tina❤❤ My whole life my Father was in love with Tina. She was his celebrity Love. He always said she had the best legs of anyone, and she definatly did.
I saw Tina in the 90’s Shoreline south of SF, 20,000 in attendance what an amazing show, Tina was on fire!
Love her! She is so good.....
Queen Tina! Tina and Bryan Adams - It’s Only Love - live. Tina was a Rock Queen!
Loved Tina. Credence Clear Water Revival originally did it. But Tina loved the song and continued to perform it until she retired. RIP Tina❤️
Saw Tina live about 20 years ago with Joe Cocker as the opening act. One of the best concerts I’ve been to.
Creedence song covered by Tina. Mick Jagger once went to see Tina perform and the next time she went to watch a Rolling Stones show she noticed he had stolen her dance moves!😂
You are right about that young lady!
Check out more Ike and Tina turner. They wrote great songs and covered many songs in impeccable fashion!!
I got to see them in Seattle in the early 70's! She was AMAZING 🤩
Great reaction! Problematic! Ike was an evil man. You really should watch the movie "Whats Love Got To Do With It", Angela Bassett plays Tina and does a amazing job. Would love to see you react to the movie. Rest In Peace Tina Turner.
😊❤ Hi Black P! I love your rants!! LOL 😂 And so far I agree with you! 😅 Next, while this young Tina's performance is still fresh in your mind - Tina live at Wembley, 2000 Proud Mary - is an absolute must!! It's from her last concert tour. She was about 4 months away from her 61st birthday. She is still in 6 inch heels, a 6 inch hemline and shakin it better than anybody else can!! LOL 😂 I'm not kidding! But it's the performance of her life! Tina has you hanging on every single moment from the beginning!! The 'intro' itself is about 2.5 minutes!! LOL 😂 The whole performance is about 9.5 minutes!! 😮😃 I swear it will go in your book as some of the best 9.5 minutes of your life! (As compared to other things under 10 minutes!) It really would be a shame for you to miss it! And rhe comparison between the two videos is awesome! She got better every single day of her life! I miss her! 😢😇 Luv ya! 😊❤❤
You need to check out Tina Turner at Wembley Concert singing Proud Mary ( she was 60 and still a powerhouse....heels and mini dress). She had some legs and what a voice and aged like fine wine.
Speaking of Beyonce........ She did the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Tina and sang Proud Mary.
Tina was big in the U.S. but had more fame in Europe.
You should watch the movie about Tina's life with Ike....."What's love Got To Do With It"
If you are familiar with the reality tv show "Sweetie Pie's" .. The woman that owns that restaurant in or around St.. Louis, Missouri was one of Tina's back up singer when she was with Ike.
Black people didn't wear their natural hair back then until the 70's when across became popular. Know your history. In order for black people to fit into white society,b they had to blend in and straighten their hair. They still couldn't go into or use a lot of white establishments or facilities. Jim Crow laws were still used in the south. Separate and unequal. Even big stars that were black couldn't sleep or eat in hotels where they were performing. Things were better for black entertainers in the north. Now black men are shaving their heads and black women do whatever they want to with their hair.
The Ed Sullivan Show started in the 50's and sent into the 70's. All the best acts were on his show.
chills!
❤️from South Alabama
The woman wore wigs! Song is written by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival!
Tina is honored by every music legend you can think of!
I had the pleasure of seeing Tina Turner in concert 27 years ago. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and the baby kept rolling and dancing to the music. Everyone around me was waiting for me to go into labor. Tina had the same energy and danced even better then she is in this video. At 84 she is still rolling!!
There is a story about Tina Turner's dance moves, one of them was that she would run her hands thru her hair to wipe away the sweat while she was dancing.
The girl you find "fine" (because yes, she is) is named PP Arnold. She left the Ikettes to have her own amazing career in the UK. Check out PP Arnold - The 1st Cut is the Deepest. She is beautiful deep down in her soul. She went on to have a great gospel career as well, and she is still going strong. Love love love her! And, thank you for this podcast - for bringing joy, often in the midst of a lot of darkness.
No it was Claudia Lennear
Credence clear water. !!! Proud Mary
John Fogarty of Creedance wrote Proud Mary. Tina blew it up especially live BUT I love Creedance Clearwater's version too. Check it out. Who doesn't love Tina y'all!?!
The High Priestess of Rock 'n' Roll!
She'll do this iconic number throughout her long career & while post 60 y.o. her dancing slows her vocal performance & stage presence mega increases.
She becomes master of the vamp, the tease, the come on, just excellent. Just when you think she couldn't get any better, she magnificently levels up.
There is vid of her in her later years performing this in Paris & Amsterdam, amongst other venues & it's astounding, electrifying.
Yes, this was written & first performed by CCR.
I like both versions!
Why does one have to be 'better' than the other???
Like comparing apples to oranges.
She was awesome🎉
I'd love to see how big your eyes get watching Cher perform the song "If I Could Turn Back Time" on board the Navy battleship Missouri. Keep in mind, she's 43 when she does this recording. And yes, all of the guys watching are real sailors.
Great reaction to an amazing woman! You should react to a more recent live of this when she was about 60 and did this - Rocking it! Live in Arnhem Netherlands. Its on her channel. She outperforms the 20-something year old backups on stage with her. She is amazing! Private Dancer. Thunderdome.. amazing.
you HAVE to see Tina Turner on Wembley concert 2000 - she was 60 years old and the best and epic I ever saw 🤯
And I would hardly recommend to do the documentary - it’s unbelievable, very heavy stuff.
Love from Austria 🇦🇹
My great Aunts favorite song
You should watch the movie about her life with Ike "Whats Love Got to Do With It."
Another early Tina song that I really dig is Nutbush City Limits...
I can remember watching this on The Ed Sullivan Show. I was just a little kid but I was impressed.
The Doors was also on the Sullivan Show.
They did " Light my Fire ". The censors forbid them to sing the line " girl we couldn't get much higher. " He agreed but sang it. Jim Morrison was arrested right on stage.
Ms. Turner is a legend
I saw them in Vegas in 1973, Bill Cosby opened up for them. When they did this song she was in a bright orange fringe dress and the place was rocking!
Great song! There's another version with Ike and Tina singing together that is even better!
