Incredible career over six decades and selling out stadium tours in her 60's.

RIP.

Legend isn’t quite a big enough word.

RIP

Saw Tina live in the mid 80's - what a show and what a band -Robery Cray support band - She might not have the soul of Aretha or the sultry voice of Dionne but she has loads of energy and the show was awesome - Great singer and knew how to belt it out - RIP Tina and thanks for the memories

RIP - another rock legend passes

One of the true icons of the 80s. I bloody love the 80s!

GoFish

An icon of the 80s, and also of the 60s. She taught Mick Jagger how to dance! Even so, she' s still sits at the top table and could have written the book on rock vocals, having practically invented the genre. RIP.

Absolute Legend, with the best Legs in Rock'n'Roll  !!

That's good.

Such talent.

And it makes me nostalgic for the sound of great singing from the days before Autotune.  It's magical at this level of ability.

I still have a vinyl copy of BEF's 'Music Of Quality & Distinction Vol. 1' which effectively rebooted TT's career, and deservedly so.  Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh were also behind many of her subsequent hits.  I wasn't a massive TT fan but as others have said, she was a bona fide legend and a great performer.

[It’s Only Love]

That’s the only Bryan Adams song I actually like.

The guitar sound on the opening chords is fantastic, I assume it’s a Strat into an AC30 but I don’t know for sure.

An end of an era.

R.I.P  Queen of Rock.

I saw her live just as she was making her comeback, so an audience of a few hundred in Wolverhampton and she was headlining arenas a few months later. That whole review thing with the dancers was new to me but full of energy and not schmaltz. Happy memory. 
RIP
