FIRST TIME HEARING Tina Turner - Whats Love Got To Do With It REACTION 

Tina had a brutal life and an abusive husband. That song is her defining moment. She was basically saying 'I'm done being abused' and will find my voice.

Tina has the most famous pair of legs in all of music history. Her obvious top shelf voice, that can't be mistaken for anyone else. Love Tina

Tina Turner was around 44 years old in this video. She was one of a very few singers who sang almost every note in a vibrato - this is one of the reasons why she had such a unique boice and gave her that signature sound. She sings just one note and you'll KNOW that's her. Do yourself a favour and check out her live performance of "Proud Mary" at the Wembley Arena in England in 2000 - she was 61 years old and absolutely rocked the place down. She was both a vocal and performing powerhouse.

Sad that we lost another one of the greats recently. Tina Turner was the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". She spanned over 6 decades of music. She started out with her husband Ike & had some great hits such as "Proud Mary", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "River Deep-Mountain High" & "Nutbush City Limits". But she had even bigger hits when she went solo such as "Better Be Good To Me", "Private Dancer", "The Best", "We Don't Need Another Hero", "Typical Male", "I Don't Wanna Fight", "GoldenEye", "It's Only Love" (duet with Bryan Adams) etc.

It's odd at age 69 to find that the films and musical greats I grew up with are unknown to so many people today. Now with so much noise it's like panning for gold to find these nuggets. Watching you and other young reactors discovering these classics makes me smile and gives me hope that the genius of so much music from the 1960's through the '80's won't be forgotten. Thank you for opening your mind Michael. Music is the common denominator that brings the world together.

Tina Turner was born in Tennessee but spent a lot of time in NY. RIP the queen of rock and roll. Her career started in 1960.

oh yes another exquisite rabbit hole. Please indulge yourself and rock on. Her contribution to music is immense.

Tina Turner (born Annie Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee) had a career in rock music dating back to 1957 at which time she was 17 years old. Her early career began with her association, and later marriage to Ike Turner, also a legendary figure in rock 'n' roll history. Her stormy marriage to Ike (a brutal spouse abuser) is told in a movie with the same name as this song (starring Angela Bassett as Tina). There is so much music history surrounding her career that it cannot be quickly encapsulated in a YT comment. I encourage you to read about her life, or to watch the movie. This video (from 1983) was in the early years of MTV and was the launching pad for the second stage of her career which first required a legal battle to gain control of the name 'Tina Turner' which belonged to Ike. In this walk around New York, notice how often the camera is showing her legs, for which she was famous. Her live performances of 'Proud Mary' show them off to the max. I was going to give you a link to one of the many videos of this song on RU-vid, but I'll let you search on your own (or perhaps someone else may wish to provide a favorite.)

Can't believe you've never heard of the Queen of Rock & Roll.. please dive into her repertoire! She was a legend known for her life story and legs 😉🎶💜🎤 Rip Anna Mae Bullock aka Tina Turner

Ya gotta see her do Proud Mary live - it’s what made her famous originally and she’s great!

This was Tina's comeback hit as a solo artist after singing for years with her abusive husband as Ike and Tina Turner. She was 44.

You need to see a Tina Turner video with her performing on stage. She gives you all the energy of Elvis…

Never heard of Tina Turner...wow.

Wow. One of the greatest entertainers ever. Start diving… there is even a great movie of her life.

Unusual to see Tina with a hemline that low. edit: Tina was first credited on a single release in 1958 and most recently in 2020. She was the first artist to make the UK Top 40 in seven consecutive decades. 12 Grammys, three songs in the Grammy HoF, two time Rock HoF inductee, Kennedy Center Honoree and perhaps her biggest honor - in 2022 Mattel released a Tina Turner Barbie.

I didn’t really know who Tina Turner was before her “comeback” in 1982. I heard her cover of Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together on the radio and I was mesmerized. I couldn’t believe that she took one of my favorite songs and turned it into a completely different, yet just as good, experience. That single was one of the first records I purchased myself and I played it over and over again. I couldn’t get enough and she just kept on giving through the years. Such joy. What a magical singer/performer/person she was. She was inspirational in every way. Very few people have her kind of talent, but to reinvent herself in her forties, push through new poverty and hardship to ultimately prevail as a superstar is unique. Backstory is important to understanding, but it’s the music - her voice and passion - that make her one of the all time great artists.

Oh, my goodness, you have only just scratched the surface with the iconic Tina Turner! My 3 favorites are, "River Deep-Mountain High"--from her early years with Ike and then from the 80's "The Best" and "It's only Love" with Bryan Adams. She had an amazing career and survived an abusive situation with her ex-husband to then make it on her own. She has an incredible voice! She was also known for wearing wigs to perform, hence the big hair in this video. She was a tiny person, with a huge voice!! 😊

The one the only the Queen of Rock the late the great Tina Turner! Rest in Peace

Remember when this first came out. Great song! Many thanks.

1984, love me some Tina Turner! This is my JAM!

Omg! She is so famous! Can't believe you never heard her live version of Proud Mary. Her most famous song. And you should sdee her movie, titled What's Love Got to do With It. It"s her life story how Like Turner discovered her and added her to his band and then married her and constantly beat her!!

This song came out in 1984. It was her first album, now known as her comeback album, since leaving a terribly abusive marriage to musician Ike Turner,a coke addict. You absolutely have to see the movie What's Love Got To Do With It to understand the length of her career and the trauma she went through to get to where the Album is released. Just know she had many hits afterward and movie roles too.

That voice! Those cheekbones! Those legs! There was only one Tina Turner.

Tina Turner turned us on in the 60s with Proud Mary live on the Johnny Carson show. She was the Acid Queen and queen of rock. The Thunderdrome. Ike Turner didn’t manage to kill her. Tina killed It in the 80s. Showed us what being 50 could look like. And Them Legs

This is one fierce lady and performer. And she had a long career and has sung with some of the best from David Bowie, Eric Clapton, and Rod Stewart to Phil Collins (drums).

My three favourite songs of hers are “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” and “Proud Mary”. Also, “Private Dancer”

Legendary Tina Turner!

The 'Working Class Man'Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel rockers famously sang with Tina when they rerecorded her song 'The Best' for New South Wales Rugby League in 1992, retitling their version '(Simply) The Best' it became their theme song. She also sang CCR cover Proud Mary, just a few of her songs. She was a due of Ike and Tina Turner but after an abusive marriage she went solo. She just passed away.

Tina was famous from the 60s on, and you owe it to yourself to view earlier clips of her performing through the decades Top 3 songs - Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits, and you just did the third one.

You had never heard of Tina Turner? Man idk how but am impressed. Keep reacting brother. She's the Queen.

This is from the biopic of her life of the same name. She came an abusive marriage. He beat her until she found the courage to fight back. She was a talented woman. A Legend in her own right. She wore wigs after a mishap with her hair. She was a power house singer.

Tina is originally from Nutbush, Brownsville, Tennessee. She said about the video, that they had to make one for Music TV in no time, so they just hit the streets of NY and started filming.

She's from the 60's, the 80's and beyond. The hair is a wig, and her look is of a street walker in the 80's from New York City, in this video. Hence the songs, What's Love Got to Do With it, and Private Dancer. She has an incredible life story, along with her iconic comeback story in her fourties so you should watch the motion picture about her life, Whats Love Got to Do With it with Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburn, taken from her autobiography I, Tina.

I love Tina Turner so much

RIP Tina Turner. Loved your songs and Mad Max.

Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, the youngest daughter of Floyd Richard Bullock and his wife Zelma Priscilla (née Currie).The family lived in the nearby rural unincorporated community of Nutbush, Tennessee, where her father worked as an overseer of the sharecroppers at Poindexter Farm on Highway 180; she later recalled picking cotton with her family at an early age. Her 1973 hit single "Nutbush City Limits" (No. 22 Pop, No. 11 R&B), penned by Turner, reached No. 1 in Austria, No. 4 in the UK, and the top 5 in several other countries. It was certified Silver by the BPI for selling a quarter of a million in the UK. As a result of her success, she received the Golden European Record Award, the first ever given, for selling more than one million records of "Nutbush City Limits" in Europe. Peace out.

That woman went through absolute hell and came out the other side finding her own inner peace and inner power. I can't conceive of someone who doesn't know who Tina Turner was and her story. Learn about her -- we are talking ICON here. Watch the movie of her life called What's Love Got To Do With It. Great movie, Great music, Great woman.

Thank goodness for film and video for bringing these great artists of my generation into the lives of you youngsters who missed out on at least 50 years of folk, rock, R&B, jazz, and even opera! You'll get to hear and see the phenomenal evolution of music in all its forms. Tina Turner was a giant among giants. Thank you for such a wonderful reaction.

You my good sir need to go down the rabbit hole of Tina Turner excellence. SO MANY BANGING HITS! Private Dancer, Thunderdome, Simply the Best, and the list goes on and on and on. Do it. Take the Tina Turner pill, and free your mind.

Top favorite. 1. What Love Got To Do With It. 2. Let's Stay Together 3. The Best.

1984 baby....the best year ever in music!

She's been around since the sixties, or should I say, was around. A titanic force in the music world!

i love your reactions bro, this was my moms jam, she used to play it in the car when it was me and her and times where ruff.

80's man... she was way back too. Listen to The Best

Wait til you hear her sing Proud Mary... love your reactions!

She graduated from Sumner High school, in my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, in 1958. St. Louis was also the birthplace of the Ike and Tina Turner duo, before she eventually went solo.

The 80's female attitude was the higher the hair, the closer to heaven. LOL

The album this song was on, "Private Dancer", was pretty much a comeback one for her in 1984. The title track is pretty good as well. There's also "Better Be Good to Me", which was also included on the soundtrack of the then-popular TV show "Miami Vice". Also close to this time, she did the duet "It's Only Love" with Bryan Adams.

"What You Get is What You See" and "(Simply) The Best" are two songs that were used in Austrlia in the 1980s by the New South Wales Rugby League (Now NRL) to promote the game. She performed these at a few of the Grand Finals. Another big song of hers is "We Don't Need Another Hero" from the Mad Max movie Beyond Thunderdome.

So sorry you hadn't heard of the queen of rock and roll. She was immensely popular around the world, especially here in Australia. You missed out on so much great music. She didn't want to record this song which resurrected her career. The Australian songwriters finally convinced her and the rest is history. She hired an Australian manager who promised to make her a star and he kept his word. She sold out stadiums and toured the world. You must react to her doing a duet with Australian legend Jimmy Barnes on "Simply The Best". She spent the last decade of her life in Switzerland and became a Swiss citizen.

"The Best: is my favorite, but "Proud Mary" is hard to beat

Tina Turner 'who is she?",Celin Dion"who is she?",Shakira"who is she?"ABBA"Who are they",Michael Jackson'Thriller" never heard of it etc.Finally apart from Ed Sheeran and whatever radio plays, it's great that you discover past legends that music history proved them now are evergreen.

off the top of my head, "Proud mary" (Ike and Tina), "We don't need another hero" and "Tonight(live)" (with David Bowie), ugh so many many others

Remember the Queen of Rock, for ever.

Suggest Proud Mary @ Wembley. Will blow you away. RIP legend Tina❤

My favorite Tina Turner Fact* is that she had her legs invested for 3.2Million$ when this video was made. She not only was a brilliant singer/ song writer ....she was a really good dancer . Thank you for your reactions here

You must watch/listen to Tina’s live proud Mary.. one must always watch Tina live.. She’s the Queen of Rock and Roll.. and those Legs of Steel are iconic.. her legs were insured for $2.2 million

Saw the “Tina…Musical on Broadway “ 3 years ago! Story of her life…PHENOMENAL show!!!👍👍👏👏👏❤️

I was never a huge Tina fan, but I'm pretty sure she's pre-80s although this videos was from the 80s. As good as her music is, her life story is incredible, and it's hard to believe she's gone. Back in the 80s, she used to scare me. Everyone with hair like that scared me, including David Bowie in the movie Labyrinth.

Well she’s not a native New Yorker. She from a rural community in Tenneesse called Nutbush. Another of her famous tunes is called Nutbush City Limits. She also has a famous version of Proud Mary. These songs are from her Ike & Tina days. There’s a movie about her life called What’s Love Got To do With It starring Angela Basset as Tina and Lawrence Fishburn as her ex husband Ike.

Pure Talent !! She had it All such an Amazing Lady

In the early-1960s, Ike and Tina Turner had a hit record in the UK, entitled, “River Deep, Mountain High”. In the 1990s, Annie Lennox performed this song on an episode of “MTV Unplugged”, that was taped during her performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

I am confused ... how is it possible not to heard from TINA? o_O Check out her performing "proud mary" live in a sold out stadium concert ... age 60+ *legendary

My top 3 Tina Turner songs are Private Dancer, We don't need another Hero, Better be Good to me.

She's the Acid Queen 😹👑❤🎉

I never cease to be amazed at what and who this guy has never heard of. His listening must be very narrow.

(SIMPLY) THE BEST is MUST Tina Turner reaction - 80's Power Ballad!

I wouldn't want to be remembered because of fame. I just wouldn't want that kind of lifestyle. My family and friends are most important to me. Also always try to be kind to people u love and strangers around u. We're all human and share this space and time. Not easy but I always try my best to not go thru my days angry and hateful. ❤ Tina was an icon who had gone thru hell and back still with her dignity. 😊

One of the best, great songs brilliantly sung. RIP.

Sold over 100 million records, 12 Grammy's, and first black and women on cover of Rolling Stones.

Fellow New Yorker, we are very proud people, growing up in the 70s was such a simple time, it was awesome!

OMG Michael, sooooo glad you "found" her! This is one of my favorites! She absolutely kills it! No one else can do it like Tina! Wow! (How can we suggest other musicians...?)

Tina ❤❤

Just came across your channel. Looking forward to binging. Love your attitude. I'm old and you make me appreciate the music of my life.

Nobody has yet mentioned her cool performance in "Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome" . Fabulous!! 😅😅💋💖💋💖😎

I always loved her and her sassy voice. Once she divorced Ike she was able to move on and do her own thing which was right for her. If you watch Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome she is in that movie.

Love Tina, this song qas from 1984, it qas one of the biggest records of the year, she was in her 40s. Tina Tyrners version of Proud Mary is her best

Whenever I see "first time reactions" to things like this (& Star Wars), I feel SO old! But yeah, if you ain't "chair dancing" when Tina is belting out her songs, you ain't gots no soul!

Watch her singing Addicted to Love in San Bernardino and you'll hear the power she had.

Oh wow you’ve heard one of the BEST never be the same❤️❤️😃

She’s from nut bush Tennessee and then moved to St. Louis as a teen with her mom

You really need to do "Proud Mary" at Wembly. It was her standard song. I believe she was in her 60's for that performance and she nailed it.

Oh my! Favorite three from Tina? That's hard. I recommend "Steamy Windows," "I Can't Stand The Rain," and "The Best."

This song is my favorite of Tina's. She sang Proud Mary which was a big hit. She was singing in the 60',s

The strut. Ahhhh.

Nope not a New Yorker born in Tennessee moved to and became a citizen of Switzerland 2013 …she was such a positive force

Must check out : Tina Turner singing "Proud Mary" video of live performance at Wembly Arena in 2000. ( Tina was 61. There are many videos of Tina singing this song but her 2000 performance is the best one. Other Tina songs. Private Dancer, We Don't Need Another Hero, Good to Me, Nutbush City Limits. Check out duet of Tina and Cher ( live on The Cher Show) singing "Shame, shame, shame"

YEAH I REMEMBER HEARING THIS SONG WHEN I WAS ONLY 7 GOING ON 8 IN 1984 IN NEWARK NJ. I NEVER REALIZED SHE MADE THIS VIDEO IN NEW YORK CITY

Some people live under the rock!

Tina's from Nutbush, Tn. Nutbush City Limits is a great song.

Seriously boy? Tina is an amazing icon! Southern woman with a history like nobody else. Saw her in 1988 at Mad Max concert. But please please please respond to Proud Mary.

Queen of Rock!!!
