Get Back (John Lennon /Paul Mccartney)

Chicago, 1983

SoundStage
---------------------------------
"Like Billie Holiday in her later years," wrote the critic Stephen Holden in the New York Times, "she conveys a wounded but indomitable sensuality." Over the decades, her voice has grown in its raw and grainy, leathery power even as it has remained firmly grounded in rock-solid gospel technique." Turner herself famously divides her singing moods as either "nice and easy" or "nice and rough," at once pleading and defiant, primal in its power. She is a feminist model, a champion of equal rights, a sexy fighter who makes her case simply by singing and singing beautifully, whose career has paved the way for other women's paths to stardom from Janis Joplin to Madonna. From the now historic "Proud Mary" and the autobiographical "Nutbush City Limit," right through "Acid Queen," "Private Dancer," We Don't Need Another Hero," "What's Love Got To Do With It?" and whatever she chooses to sing next, Tina Turner's is a refreshing font of affirmation and surprise. She remains the truest rock diva of all.

Power, energy, voice, peformance... Diva.

  • @thebeatlesrawesome1 You are most certainly entitled to your opinion, but good grief you've got to be kidding - Tina's and her band are absolutely fantastic and Tina kills the song - no one else can do it like her. Tina's on fire, name anyone else that can sing and dance like that at the same time and perform 1 1/2 hours non stop - she is simply "The Best". Yep I definitely gave you the thumbs down.

  • The greatest show-woman ever. Attending her concerts has been one of my most amazing music experiences. Thank you!
