In a 1997 interview with CNN's Larry King, Tina Turner talks about her life in music and reveals why she no longer lives in the United States. #tinaturner #cnn
Infact, I’m 62. Not a single wrinkle. I’m a White Canadian. I look like the youngest girl in my family. However, I’ve never had kids. THEY take a lot out of you. But Tina had 5? kids and a hard life up to 50. She looks freaking fantastic, here for 58!!!!!
Butiful interview. Respectful. Enjoyed the pray chant as well. Ty Tina the stage is always full of power and energy whenever you Grace it. SIMPLY the BEST ❤❤
This interview is amazing - Tina shines here with special aura. It is just legendary. Tina remains huge inspiration, amazing artist and performer. Legends live forever.
"Aura" is a good word for what she had. Not only did she not have a very distinctive singing voice, she had a very distinctive speaking voice, cadence and accent. She was so classy and polished. You wouldn't confuse her for someone else. She really did not seem as though she came from such humble beginnings.
So happy to see you too see and sense her essence. Not everyone gets it. Whenever I see her it's like she has a special energy that is her entire presence. I always felt that if I were in her presence I would be overcome with emotion and be able to feel her energy.❤
My dad was a gardener at her house in Switzerland until a couple of years ago. She was always very friendly and never pretentious. She gave up her US citizenship, became Swiss and we love to have such a legend as a new compatriot.
Liberation? She knew the devil when she danced with him. Tina said in her own words " I knew Ike was a violent man, with the ladies, when I met him and I knew he had mental problems" Sometimes we make our own bed 🛌
She introduced me to Nam Myoho Renge Kyo in 1998 and I've been chanting ever since. It changed my life. She changed my life. "Winter always turns to spring and you can turn the poison into medicine".
@@villanelle8888 it's not only about chanting a mantra... You need to maintain a healthy and positive mindset for any mantra to work. Learn about vibrations and frequencies... ❤️
@@villanelle8888 I was able to find release from things I cannot control. To trust my life. To really be able to cultivate my purpose in life and also to overcome many obstacles. Not only by chanting but by connecting with others Buddhists and finding community.
Absolutely! I'm sitting here watching her and she is so charming and Wonderful and everything the gentlemen before just said so well!! And As I'm watching her I said to Myself Out loud SHIT I think I would Go Straight for Her!!😂😂😂💝And I have Never had a Thought Like That go through my Mind let alone come out My Mouth Out loud!! Since I came out of The closet At 17 Over 32 years ago 🤔💝😳😅😂😂😂😂JUST A STUNNING WOMEN!! LOVE HER!!
After all that has happened to this legendary woman she still has that innocence about her, beautiful, elegant, classy, warm, spiritual, and just such a great personality.
She has worked so hard to have what she has. She suffered greatly early in her career. Bad men, discrimination on and on! But she has done it. She's a joy to listen to any music makes my day better. And, those legs! My wife, who was very lovely as well was jealous Tina's legs. Just a great woman! The world is better for her! Being in it!
I've met her in 1989 while working on some of her projects. A wonderful, kind, thoughtful and unpretentious human being. She deserves all the accolades and success she has earned.
You really can feel her energy. I wasn’t a big fan, but saw her in the 90s in San Diego, and when she walks on stage, you feel it in your soul. I became a fan. I’ve been to a lot of performer’s shows that I absolutely admire, and never felt such a palpable rush. She’s like a power station, and she can light up an entire stadium. It was unforgettable.
Tina was the female Freddie Mercury. Equally talented at holding a huge crowd in the palms of her hands and belting out fantastic, unequalled vocals. Sweet, charming, beautiful lady and gone far too soon.
While living in England ,1984 -1986, Tina was so loved there that if you said anything negative about her you could expect to receive a beat down. What she says about her being so well received in Europe was an under statement, she was considered a goddess.
She is a Goddess. And I hate that she feels she was not as successful in the U.S. I live in U S. and always knew her to be much loved and adored. Sold out all the time. I understand her feeling those in the industry were not fair to her and that is horrible..but the public/fans were always all about this goddess.❤
+Asif Khan Was it Moms Mabley who said 'ugly' goes straight to the bone, the counter being, beauty is pure at any age. This little lady is the epitome of true beauty. I feel happy just seeing her smile. Gracious, understanding, forgiving defines this grand dame.
Tina Turner was such a powerhouse! I remember the first time I saw her in concert... She walked on stage and every cell in my body began to percolate. She had such amazing energy; the whole place was vibing. Tina Turner 🙏💜🎉 #simplythebest
Yvonne Bryant Tina wore wigs - she had quite a few - this would've been one of them. She didn't keep it secret - she was involved in making them herself
She had a beautiful personality. She’s warm, classy, kind, and funny. She makes me feel strong and that I can get through anything without feeling like a victim. What a woman! The way she feels about Jacqueline Onassis is how we feel about her. Our lady forever!
You will be missed so much. The angels are singing heavenly sweet melodic songs of praise to you............I am a great fan of Tina turner ....Beyonce will never duplicate Tina Turner's style......I am old school...great interview with Larry king. Rest in peace Larry king. You were one of the best interviewers
In America, you're only as big as your last hit record. In Europe and other countries around the world, once you're famous and they like you, you are famous forever.
Yes, because in America there are 10 others behind you waiting to take your spot. Europe, on the other hand, is starved for anything with energy and vitality, so they'll take whatever they can get.
rhino79 oh yeah hahha for sure! Especially today, we have so many talents, like Nicki minaj for example. I mean who can beat that? I'm being Sarcastic BTW.
rhino79 Europe includes UK lmao. And yes they are British because Europe has lots of talent, meaning you don't know what you are talking about because first you said Europe talent sucks
I listened to Tina every day for a year while walking to the school library and working on my bachelors degree in sound and music production. Such a huge part of my life. Rest easy queen, love you.
Many successful Black performers have relocated to Europe to save themselves from Greedy Capitolistc exploitation. I could just imagine the frustration of working your ass off and doing everything your suppose to for success and still have to deal the ugly side of American racism. Proud of you Tina and stay FREE!
@Mary Lane So this show-biz medical help and enhancement should give justification for Ike's wife beating bizarre domestic violence? All of you on this thread defending this social loser must be Black Republican Men wearing of all things....white wife beater shirts. There is no justifying treating another person with violence and verbal assault and thank God we've now got laws in place and they're called HATE CRIMES. Any derogatory racial, sexual, gender etc. statements are currently defined as HATE CRIMES. Any one who even used that old nasty N-Word is now guilty of a Hate crime. Rightfully so, trying to justify a man's violent dominance over another or a woman is the definition of a social loser and so it is and shall be.
@Mary Lane oh Mare....is this reminiscent of what you're man does to you and I bet he's got you believing that not only you but others also deserve to be treated like a commodity...p.s. did you go to the dentist because your man made you?
After watching her WONDERFUL documentary and seeing how the intellectually lazy media treated her by insulting her with questions about Ike, this interview is just as infuriating. She is beyond gracious.
My God!! What a phenomenal being. This woman drips beauty, intelligence, charisma, sweetness and class.She came She saw She conquered!! Larry King just knew how to make guests comfortable and unveil their truths. I could watch this interview a thousand times. We never really know what we have until it's gone. I hurt over Tina's passing like I lost a loved one. Rest in peace Queen of Rock & Roll...Rest in peace King of Talk.
She's absolutely right. Tina Turner was a Megastar all over mainland Europe in the 80s and 90s. I still remember her songs getting constant airplay on german radio in the 90s and she basically existed on the popularity level of a Michael Jackson when she performed live. There were also a myriad of remixes and covers of her songs that inspired younger generations.
So elegant, graceful and delicate but also bold, strong and breathtakingly beautiful. The Queen of Rock and Roll has answered the call but while she was here, she wore her crown so well. RIP to the icon, the legend, the voice Ms Tina Turner ❤❤❤❤
Me and some friends had the pleasure of seeing her perform in Long Island, NY back in the 90's. She was electrifying! She danced for a full 2 hrs in heels. What a powerhouse! I'm so grateful I got the chance to see her live. Rest in peace Miss Tina. You were loved worldwide! ❤️
I have had the privilege of personally meeting her in Minneapolis when she performed at First Avenue for her come back tour. She was, down to earth and very kind. She also gave me a poster for the tour, a signed 8x10, a T-shirt, and a kiss! During the show that night, she saw me standing next to the stage and I gave her the white bandana I was wearing. She carried it around with her for a few minutes and wiped off her sweat. She then gave it back to me. It's a treasure and I have never washed it. Thank you for a night I will never forget Tina!
I'm as American as they come. But when I was in the military, I was stationed in England for six years. The difference between each country is night and day. England, and Europe as a whole, treat people they love very differently than they do here in America. Tina made a good move when she moved to Switzerland and eventually became a Swiss citizen. They love her and keep on loving her years after she stopped making music. She seems to be a very, very logical person. Much respect to her...
@queenbeethatme100 Tina Turner would be appreciated in any country she's famous, people comparing racism in America to Europe pretending like it doesn't exist in Europe don't know whar what the hell they're talking about.
It is true.We Europeans are crazy about her, love her to death.We don't see her as a black or white person, but as a free spirit. An extremely intelligent beautiful, talented artist. God bless her.
@@phillipsmom6252 it maybe, or not. Tina has pretty hair and it's thick, too. She talked about wearing wigs. So does Dolly Parton and Adele and Taylor Swift and practically every famous female singer.
I had a hard time picking favorites of anything or anyone. If I had to pick an idol, Tina is the top. I love her persona, her truths, her character is just great. She will be missed in life by the generations ahead.
Tina Turner is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! I love her voice of course, but her poise, class, and grace is what stands out for me. There will never be another Tina Turner!! ❤️
Oh my.....I am so Tina is now gone......Much love to her - she was so modest, down to earth, and kind. Was compassionate and just loved what she did. This is a woman who survived terrible abuse, escaped, worked very, very hard and was a huge success! Much love to little Anna Mae Bullock from Nutbush, Tennessee.......
She's so big here in Brazil and South America. North America don't give the deserved value to legends like her since they no longer have more number #1 hits. The world outside America will always love and know about this legend forever.
Agree. I love in the U.S. and I hate the treatment our country gives to some of the legends. If they're no longer on the radar or have number hits, then they don't care for them too much. Its the same with actors and actresses. They only concentrate on the up incoming instead giving the attention the veteran actors. One of the reasons why I don't blame Tina for moving to Europe.
I'm American and appalled that she felt Madonna was more popular than her. Tina blows Madonna out of the water. On behalf of those of us Americans that love Tina, we're sorry idiots made Madonna's despicable self more popular.
Ummm FYI Tina didn't give black America the respect they deserved. Without Ike Turner and black America there is no Tina Turner for you to enjoy. The truth is she turned her back on black America. She found herself a white man, Got a white band Has all white idols And moved to one of the whitest countries on the planet But.... we turned our back on her lol. You know Tina We know Annie Mae
@@isaacmctear2843 You mean after she was with a black man for about 20 years? and had multiple black children.. and yet apparently thats turning her back lol
This woman was just as posed as Jackie O, as classy and a truly beautiful soul. I will forgive regret never seeing her concert bc I met she brought down the house every single time.
Is it just me or every time she smiles it's like a sunrise...or a glimpse of the sun through storm clouds....... she has a breathtaking smile is what I'm getting at lol 😁
She's the most wonderful light-filled person I've ever seen. I always knew her hits but never knew her story until these last few days. Now I can say; Tina, I LOVE you. Thank you for all you have shared with us from the fire of your exquisite soul. Hearing how chanting helped her has got me back into doing it and I feel AMAZING for it. Thank you Queen. You have earnt your peace. May you rest in POWER.
Tina was radiant in this interview, in spite of the incessant, almost irritating, reminders by Larry King of her relationship with Ike. When it finally hit the topic of her spiritual development it reached another level. Although I don't share her beliefs, I have the deepest respect for her transformation and convictions. She is truly an amazing human being!
tina is the only woman that can walk around 24/7 with her hair mussed like this and look outstandingly beautiful! Job well done Mrs Turner Bach! Take yo Rest!
She was God-sent she saved my life from Abusive man I was with for 20 years only God knows why I stayed but when I was free I I was very free I love you Tina Turner I learned a lot from your movie it saved my life
@ Deborah...That is always the burning question...why did you stay if I may ask? Were you scared of him, they usually threaten to kill those who leave them... or had you been so beaten down that you felt you couldn't survive without him, cuz he convinced you no one else would want you, and your ugly and stupid and all the usual stuff that an abuser does, stripping any belief in yourself and all ur confidence...? I'm curious if there is another reason why a woman would tolerate it and 20 yrs is a lifetime.
Those interviewers know Tina hates talking about her traumatic past with Ike. She’s mentioned this several several times over the years, but they still insist on asking her every damn interview. She left him decades ago. That does not define who she is. She’s so much more than “Ike and Tina”. If I were her I would only do interviews on the condition they not mention Ike. Shame on those reporters
Tina was in love with Ike then and still to a certain degree .. I can tell how she says his name the man was bad but he taught her how to become a lady... She didn’t hate nothing about that..
thats why i thought. why dont they leave it alone, she has so much other stuff to talk about...no wonder she doesent like Interviews at all...makes me kinda angry
@@littlehoney6007 Ike didn't reach her how to become a lady. He taught her how to be a star. Tina became a lady all on her own. Also, she is not in love with Ike anymore. I don't know why so many people want to believe she still has a thing for him. She left him and moved on with her life. Ike was and is the past for her.
From all the concerts that I’ve seen, Tina her concerts stand above all the others. That pumping energy …. The feeling that she stands before you as a crowd was an out of body experience. After seeing all the videos and finally seeing her was so big. It will never leave me
What kids? Those kids arent his, (Tina Turner). You tell me. How can a paint up man with a pigs wig on conceive a child? Tina is a drag queen. Sorry to hurt ur feelings. Accept the truth. You have been deceived Terry. We are living in a world of deception, especially when it comes down to Hollywood n the Music Entertainment Business. Men are females n females are men. Its reality.
I think that America didn't understand Tina. I love all music, I love a song that explains a story. I love it when a singer can dance and entertain while singing. She is desperately sick now and it's sad because she was a healthy woman who was abused both physically and mentally. She worked her A** off night and day and in her younger years she was abused. And then sickness moved in through her gift and Ike's habitual habits(Drugs). My prayers go out to her, her sons and dear husband Erwin BACH. Love you Tina Turner aka Anna Mae Bullock.
