The Queen Is Dead

Interesting though ….

“Tina Turner had long believed her mother had significant Native American ancestry, specifically Navajo and Cherokee” ….

Tina Turner was born on 26th November 1939 to Zelma and Floyd Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee. Her father was African American; her mother was half-Cherokee, quarter European, and quarter African-American.

Who is to say, maybe she did have one distant Native American ancestor (?)

"Home" was a villa near Küsnacht on Lake Zurich, where she had lived since the 1990s. The over one-acre estate in Switzerland, which she named "Algonquin" after her Native American grandmother, was a place where Tina enjoyed her retreat from show business alongside her German husband Erwin Bach.

Saw a movie about her yesterday. Didn't know she had such a terrible life and her husband/menager was brutally beating her.

Rest in peace.

Hahahaha, Meade always comes through….she was everything that just crushes his soul. A rich black woman who is a BILLION times more successful as a singer than him. So therefore she is a bad singer. Oh what a maroon.

Didn’t know Tina Turner was Buddhist:

Now that you mention it.
The smoky and the rare, unique quality of having vibrato in the voice is what I absolutely loved about her voice as well as this Amerind flute player’s, singer’s sound:

It just adds an extra layer and is so captivating …
"Jackhammers" – did I miss it what do you mean by that?

I found "Wings of Pegasus" a few years back. He was in my feed right after the death of Nanci Griffith with a video about her "Travis picking". He has done videos on fairly diverse musicians and bands. He is more all over the place than I am. He points out things that one hears but one doesn't really know they are being heard.

"Jackhammers" was pure petty snark on my part.

She was A Buddhist, which is unfortunate.
