Wowzers Tina energy. One of my mum's favorites. I would say Anna Mae Bullock, Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin from that era.. no one comes close these days.
I like her '80's music the best from 1984 to 1985 like "Private Dancer", "What's Love Got To Do With It", "We Don't Need Another Hero" ( Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome) movie soundtrack song. Those are her best songs to me since I'm not very familiar with her '70's music and before that time. RIP Tina Turner🌹🌺⚘
Great choice. From my tribute to her... In my opinion, Tina Turner was one of the cornerstones of heavy rock music. Her powerful approach to vocals that broke into The Billboard 100 in 1960 should not be overlooked. Little Richard (some of his inspiration came from Ike Turner) brought the wild side onto the charts but Tina brought depth and power. What Tina had to go through with Ike is tragic but the pairing had a lot to do with the evolution of heavy rock music. My respect to the Queen of Rock and Roll. Her first hit in 1960 - A Fool In Love
@@chazblitz , "We never ever do anything nice and easy. We always to it nice and rough." I guess the word "rough" will do. I have done a lot of research on the evolution of heavy rock music. There are a couple paths to go by when dealing with the evolution of modern music. One is the influence of artists on other artists and the other is influence on the masses. I have concentrated my efforts on the second. I think dealing with charts of record sales and airplay eliminates a lot of personal bias (both mine and that of artists). Through comparing sound in the charts at the time and years leading up to them, there are pivotal developments that have lead to an increasing power in rock and roll throughout it's evolution. In my opinion, Tina Turner's vocal approach was quite radical in 1960 and just watching her perform A Fool In Love in 1960 sums it up. Even if it started in 1966 with River High, Mountain Wide it would be a major factor. Her vocals in 1966 were ahead of everything at the time when it comes to power rock. Important to note....I'm talking recordings that were hits with the masses. The production of The Animals House of the Rising Sun was the next pivotal step in 1964. Purple Haze in 1967. Blue Cheer's cover of Summertime Blues in 1968. Paranoid in 1970. Roundabout in 1971 which bought progressive rock to #14 on the charts, sandwiched along the way between Donny Osmond's Puppy Love and Bobby Goldsboro's Honey. Stairway To Heaven in 1971. Was not released as a single in order to promote album sales. The Carpenters Goodbye To Love in 1972 took the rock ballad formula with distorted guitar solo and sat it right in the laps of the pop world. Boston's debut in 1976. Van Halen's debut in 1978. Metallica's Black Album 1991. That is what my research has come up with as the bedrock of the development of heavy rock within the ears of the masses. I have Tina Turner as a cornerstone in heavy rock and her performance as the Acid Queen in Tommy is my standard bearer.
@@randybaker6042 Still don't agree with even the "rough" label. But I'm not gonna spend the day arguing on subjective subjects. Your research shows your passion which is beyond reproach in my opinion. However, the only thing rough and heavy about Tina Turner were the blows that rained down on her from dickhead Ike. Soulful, Bluesy, Gritty and Loud is what I associate with her voice. If it weren't for her and the Ikettes, Zappa's Overnight Sensation and Apostrophe albums would have sounded radically different. Totally respect your opinion but I do beg to differ.
@@chazblitz Tina is the one who said rough. I agree with everything you're saying and you obviously aren't the first to not attach Tina Turner to the roots of heavy rock. Ike and Rocket "88" from 1951 are widely recognized as ground breaking in the world of heavy rock. I'm good with loud though. Loud will do. Tina Turner is a cornerstone of loud rock music. That works just fine.
Hey Gary, glad to see your comment. I thought about you last night wondering about your friends 50th Anniversary, I didnt hear anything more from you so I did not play the song "Dream Girl". If you are wanting me to play the song for them, let me know!!
Karen, if you haven't seen the video for Ike and Tina's 1st hit "A Fool In Love" go check it out. Love the dancers, I can see me and you in the video, we would have been rocking out with our mini skirts and Go Go boots. Loved the video!!
great tribute...for a remarkable soul!!!

You are absolutely right. Those women were tough ladies and you could tell thru their music, loved everyone of them ..

Agree with the exception of the word heavy. They had nothing to do with "heavy" anything.

@@randybaker6042 That I can get on board with. Regardless of where history shall say she belongs, I, like millions of others, loved what she did!
GREAT choice, !! The few tributes I've seen so far do her biggest hits, but this is among her best.
Agreed. For all the massive global hits, this remains my favourite.
