I saw her when she was still touring with Ike. Her energy carried that whole show. What a life she led, from the horrors of spousal abuse to the pinnacle of pop music. May she rest in rock'n'roll.
Throughout my entire adult life, through great happiness, sadness, grief, rage and through many life changing events, both Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin were there. Their music wasn't just soul, their music spoke directly to my soul and still does. I miss them both.
