Every week, we love to focus on one woman who really impresses us or a woman that we just love. This week, we focus on the living legend that is the amazing Tina Turner. Here are eleven reasons we love this legend.
1. Her Career
Tina has been named as the 17th most influential singer of all time by Rolling Stone, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, has won eight Grammy awards, three of her songs are in the Grammy Hall of Fame, has her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Not a bad career,eh?
2. Have you seen her?
Not only a fashion icon (that hair in the 80’s? Amazing), she looks bloody amazing. And those legs? Well, they just go on forever.
3. What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Arguably one of her greatest tracks, What’s Love Got To Do With It? doubles over as the title for the film which told the story of her and Ike’s difficult relationship.
4. She’s a Survivor!
Despite all of the hardships in her life, the years of abuse she suffered during her marriage, Tina came back stronger than ever with one of the most influential albums of the 80’s. You can’t keep a good woman down!
5. Proud Mary…
Is it just one of the best songs ever? The answer is yes.
6. She can DANCE!
And dance, and dance, and dance. Look at those legs.
7. She’s 75… and still rocking on!
Well, she’s not exactly touring constantly but that Oprah appearance? Yes, she’s still rocking.
8. That Bond theme.
Goldeneye. Divine.
9. The Vogue cover…
The oldest (and one of the most stunning) women to appear on the cover of Vogue. Didn’t she look amazing?
10. The RTÉ Guide theme tune.
SIMPLY THE BEST!
11. Those heels…
Yes, we probably couldn’t walk in those. And dance. And everything.
