Pe, I loved how you went into not just her career, but also reminded readers that rock music essentially started with Black artists, and that means rock music was (and remains) R&B in nature. Turner was both and her 80s albums were probably her personal peak, even if there are a few items from her Ike days that are among her finest moments.

This is one of my favorite Tina tunes! I'm still devastated that she's gone. Whenever I hear her voice I think, "how can this be silenced!"
An artist as emblematic, iconic, and talented as Tina deserved an essay like this. You did her more than justice.
I absolutely love the electrifying energy of Private Dancer and Break Every Rule.
She inspired millions. Her talent, grit, and determination live on.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
