Tina talks about everything from how she found her style, what she considers sexy, working with Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones.
maxtheknife Tina is my #1 favorite artist! She is undoubtedly a legend on all-terms, but despite huge international acclaim is almost an enigma in the black community. She did record more r&b and blues in future albums. However, her rock success stifled her black base post Private Dancer & Break Every Rule, similar to the mid-60’s and mid-70s with her & Ike leaning more to rock. Foreign Affair, Simply the Best, Wildest Dreams & Twenty-Four Seven all had a ton of r&b/soul and blues. Albeit F.A. was her third HUMONGOUS success internationally, it was a more moderate success here in the United States comparatively because it was not targeted properly in America, specifically towards r&b buyers + listeners. It’s unfortunate that she never had (despite early 60’s success, early 70’s & Private Dancer) a steady black base like Aretha, James, Marvin. However, she had the best deal with long-term, worldwide, stadium-level success.

Did she say she doesn't write music or play an instrument? I know she wrote many songs. Nutbush City Limits being one, but I did wonder how she could do it without playing an instrument.
The Beetles come together was a blues R&B sound with pop vocals. Rock and Roll is no more than blues sung by a white artist. Tina should know this already
@chez jusa, that's an ignorant remark. Rock and roll isn't simply blues music, yes it has its roots in the blues and American gospel but it evolved, white people took it and made it their own. There's an obvious difference between "Born in the USA" and "Good Golly Miss Molly "
