Damn

Hopefully there is life beyond Thunderdome.

She's going to be missed. My wife's second favorite performer behind Whitney Houston.

All I can think of is *****t's Creek and playing "Simply the Best" with David and Patrick.

interesting.. I had no idea..

"Murray offered Ike a $20,000 advance, convincing him to keep Bullock's vocals on the record and suggested that he "make her the star" of his show. This prompted Ike to rename her Tina Turner, however, family and friends still called her Ann. He then trademarked the name for protection, so that if she left he could hire another female artist and have her perform under the moniker "Tina Turner"."

So he created the name Tina, used his last name, but they ended up getting married anyway.. yet her name was Anne Bullock, but changed to Tina Turner.

Oh, also,.. this

"Tina had reservations about continuing her relationship with Ike. According to Tina, after she expressed her concern, Ike responded by hitting her in the head with a wooden shoe stretcher."


gotta love the good ol days lol.

Acid Queen in Tommy. RIP.

Nice. I liked that cover and I usually can't get into Ghost. That song fit their style pretty good. I knew they did a cover of Iron Maiden's Phantom of the Opera for this album they are coming out with, but I didn't know they did this song.

Why did I think she was dead before today?

How about "D. You're a gimp"?

Huh?

Sorry.

It's actually "F. You're a gimp"

I got the quote wrong.

That didn't help all that much.

Here.

Great performer and artist. RIP Anna Mae.

Apparently Tina Turner and John Fogerty were known to have performed "Proud Mary" together a few times. This audio seems to be the only recording of them doing so.

Used to know some girls who were backup singers for Ike in the 2000s.
They had some messed up Ike Turner stories.

For instance?

one of them probably said something to Ike that he didn't like, so he hit her with shoe stretcher.

I loved the Matrix and several of his other movies, but learning about how evil Ike was made me question watching any more of his movies.
