(5,838 posts)3. Gads, in my 20s with my gal pals we would wear highest high heels and try to dance like Tina Turner.
Bless the 1960s. She was a idol of mine.

Huge fan back in the day.

What a talent!

(51,308 posts)7. Yes, I became a fan when I was still very, very young.
I thought she lived in France, but Switzerland is even nicer.
She was a force of nature.

Incredibly talented singer and performer. Generous mentor. Survivor of abuse. Took back her power. Found peace. Did it her way.
Rest, Queen. May we follow in your fabulous footsteps.
