Tina Turner - Rubberband Man

Thankfully Tina didn't embarrass herself too badly when she guest-starred on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour... well, if you don't count the cheesy water ballet that's going on around her.

What is this nonsense about Tina embarrassing herself?

[BBVHFan]

True, this part isn't particularly embarrassing (other than the Krofftettes' background antics) but search for the "Stars Medley" where Tina congas with Milton Berle and Florence Henderson.

how can she move like she's beycone.when this was taped in the late 70's.beycone gets her act form tina.and i do be leave tina came and did it first.then beycone.

This clip was filmed in February 1977. Beyoncé Knowles was born in September 1981. Doing the math there is hardly rocket science.

Oh this clip is so typical of '70s TV. Seriously, Tina delivers a star studded performance, but what is the point of swimming ballet? Their swimming is unimpressive and isn't even coordinated to the song. Are there 8 swimmers? If not they clearly taped the underwater scenes before Tina sang as the original 4 reappear ta 1:30 all nice and dry to do some pointless background dancing.

[BBVHFan]

Yes, there are 8 dancers/swimmers. The show was a pretty blatant knock-off of "Donny & Marie" (and came from the same production team). The Osmonds had an ice-skating rink, so the Bradys were given a swimming pool as an equivalent.

Amen to that. People need to stop giving her false props. Tina is the original. Beyonce is a copy.

Thank you for posting this video.! I get in a better mood, if I hear that rare material from the Seventies. This video is a precious gem for future generations. That´s great performing!!!For me, TINA, is a Singularity!!!

What are you talking about, THIS IS THE SH*T! TINA IS BAD ASS, Luke23:334 "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing or saying:

[rhymeandreasoning]

God bless, Tina..a classy lady..who worked her ass off, and took (i assume) every single gig that was offered to her...she more than paid her dues..

[josbo51715]

Her cover is a thousand times better than the original. She always usurps any song she covers.

[chanctonbury63]

She should have left this on WELL alone.

[jukingeo]

While I am not overly impressed with this cover, Tina STILL sells it. She can definitely move. Love those legs!

[Mdash7093Productions]

She must be wearing all that make up to hide the bruises from Ike beating her up.

[chach2000]

Tina INVENTED this stuff. All the other children have learned from her.

[MrEX3]

It was nice of her to give the Brady's a chance to catch their breath and change costumes and perhaps snort some more meth.
