    It’s disappointing to me (and I’m sure it would be to Tina too) that upon her passing this is what people continue to want to talk about - Tina was not defined by her relationship first her first husband. It was a very small part of her life and should not overshadow the great artist she was and the gift she gave us.

      She wasn't lying. She stay fit on the stage. Almost how micheal was. If it wasn't for her terrible marriage, I honestly think she never would of got off the stage. Some people take break for families etc. Some people don't realize by the time the late 70s she was already taking care of Ikes kids the minute she met him and the kids they had together and being on the stage at the same time. I swear if she never had a shitty marriage, she would of never left the stage. But at the same time I feel that is also why she retired sooner then most typical muscian. She never really slowed down. But with her marriage screwing up her career I dont blaim her for working even harder to get back to the top. She reminds me of George Foremen during the 90s.

    I remember when I was a kid my mom had ran to switch the channel to a special Tina Turner was on bc she loved the way the band would perform. It’s my first memory of Tina since I didn’t see bands DANCE to the beat of what they played. Today, I still enjoy bands who really energize their music with dancing to the beats they orchestrated. Later in my life after seeing the movie how much she endured. It motivated me as a woman to move through the storms of life to get through the journey of life. What an inspiration! Rest peacefully Queen 👑 of Rock n Roll!!!

    Seems like her life 'covered' everything this planet could possibly offer - she 'experienced' it all, the extreme emotional toil too. So, "fantasy" and her dreams pushed her to just keep going? But at the same time, seems like, she *embraced* the "right people?" Unlike, some other popular artistes in recent times, who need(ed) the Law and social media 'support' to stay sane! So, in that regard alone, - her positive attitude - she seemed destined to be "Simply The Best" 😊

    Everybody listen up..."We" must stop dealing with the same people who caused the pain and do their evil and don't think nothing is wrong with their actions. And they keep on doing it. You have to realize this is just the way they are, forgive them, pray for them, and leave them alone. So that God can heal you, and you can keep your healing. When people show you who they are, believe them. When God delivers you, don't go back to what God delivered you from. It is like a dog returning to his own vomit. Keep your healing! Keep your testimony. Words of Wisdom!

    She was the original Queen 👸 Queen B who? When I think about it Tina was underrated in many ways. Rest easy 🙏
