Damn. I remember growing up at the time not liking almost any music that my mom used to blast around the house. Tina Turner was one of rare few that I did like then. Always appreciated her. Always will be remembered, as nothing less than legendary. RIP Queen.
RIP

TINA Live In Rio: 35th Anniversary
January 16, 2023
In 1988, Tina Turner was at the center of the world’s attention. Twelve years after leaving Ike, she is now amongst the biggest stars in the world.
Her comeback album Private Dancer went to N°1 across the globe, her biography is a success and her part in Mad Max opened her appetite for more ‘movie roles’.
That’s why when Tina’s second comeback album Break Every Rule came out, she announced that the tour that would follow the next year would be her last, aiming to reorient her career into the movies.
But before that Tina had a dream she wanted to fulfill and the BER Tour will allow her to not only reach it but surpass everything she could have dreamed of…
On 16 January 1988, 35 years ago today, the Lioness of Rock, performed in front of a record-breaking crowd in Rio de Janeiro when she sang in front of 180,000 people at the Maracana Stadium.
It was at the time the biggest paying audience for a single artist surpassing Frank Sinatra’s record set eight years before at the same venue
Accompanied by a stunning line-up of musicians, samba dancers, glitter, and fireworks, Tina delivered an unforgettable performance in her own inimitable and explosive style.

This second wind she got in her career was crazy, she was on fire in the mid/late 80s, I don't think any singer has had a comeback on this level since.

RIP a legend
Bassett, who earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Turner in the 1993 film, told The Hollywood Reporter said in a statement of Turner: “How do we say farewell to a woman who owned her pain and trauma and used it as a means to help change the world? Through her courage in telling her story, her commitment to stay the course in her life, no matter the sacrifice, and her determination to carve out a space in rock and roll for herself and for others who look like her, Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion, and freedom should look like.”
Bassett continued, “Her final words to me — for me — were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.’ I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days. I am honored to have known Tina Turner. I am humbled to have helped show her to the world. So on today, while we mourn the loss of this iconic voice and presence, she gave us more than we could have ever asked. She gave us her whole self. And Tina Turner is a gift that will always be “simply the best.” Angels, sing thee to thy rest…Queen.”
