Tina Turner’s influence on music is difficult to overstate. Dubbed the ‘Queen of Rock and Roll’, she was a performer whose blisteringly powerful vocals and high-octane performances influenced every diva since. Her trailblazing shows set the standard for the modern stadium diva experience and her talent and success kicked open doors for Black female performers that followed. Turner’s career truly shaped the contemporary musical landscape and her music, bravery, tenacity and style will continue to inspire for generations to come.

On Wednesday, one of the great American voices—gritty, tender, and red-hot, containing, somehow, both the entire history and future of rock and roll—went silent. Tina Turner was known for her superhuman resilience, “and, in a way, I came to believe that she was actually invincible,” Amanda Petrusich writes. Turner found a way to tap into some deep wellspring of ease and abandon and self-love, and drew from it when she needed to. “And now she has left that for us,” Petrusich writes, “in her music, in her voice, in the singular way she occupied a stage.” Read her reflection on Turner’s untouchable legacy: http://nyer.cm/VPvDeMD

Tina Turner: The trauma and triumph of a music legend
Rising from humble beginnings, Turner overcame abuse and a career slump
Queen of rock ‘n’ roll Tina Turner has died after a long illness. She was 83.
Born Anna Mae Bullock in 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, she began her recording career in 1957 after meeting Ike Turner, whom she married. For a long time, they seemed a prolific musical duo, with Tina bringing star power and a shimmering, big voice to his musical arrangements and the creative vision that he controlled. But behind the scenes, she was suffering horrific abuse at his hands, which she later revealed publicly after their separation and divorce.
Re-emerging as a solo artist, Tina Turner achieved an exponentially higher level of success, earning 12 Grammys, three Grammy Hall of Fame Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and performed for packed stadiums. Her life story has been retold as a Broadway musical and Hollywood film, as well as in a 2021 documentary.
In 2013, Turner married German music executive Erwin Bach and relinquished her U.S. citizenship after becoming a citizen of Switzerland. She died at home, her manager said.

剛過世的Tina Turner，我想到幾點：
她的名曲有好多是別人唱過的歌。但只要聽過她的版本，就不會想聽別人版本了。這點跟鄧麗君一樣。
為什麼？因為美國音樂生態就是黑白分明。黑人音樂要有黑人音樂的範式，白人有白人的範式，音樂電台名目雖沒分黑白，骨子裡卻有，pop歸pop（其實就是白人），搖滾歸搖滾（也是白人），靈魂與節奏藍調也自成一格，有專屬電台（這就是黑人了）。
像Tina Turner那種既R&B又搖滾又pop的歌手，在美國，別說製作人不知要如何製作，連電台DJ也不知要如何歸類。這是為何她只能從英國紅回去。
她成為全球現象後，最大市場也是在歐陸與英國。死忠粉絲清一色中上階層中年白人，而且男多於女。
我認為，美國學校雖然經常在灌輸小孩不要對人有刻板印象，但Tina Turner故事證明，碰到膚色，美國文化還是設定太多不必要的框架。
她晚年放棄美國國籍，入籍瑞士。我在YouTube上看到一次專訪，主持人問她為什麼。她回答：歐洲人本來就比美國人喜歡我。
她的宗教取向也非常不美國。她是佛教徒。
她的第一任丈夫那麼恐怖，我看到第二任丈夫（年紀小一大截的德國人）對她那麼體貼，還捐自己的一顆腎給她，很替她高興。
