If you’re unaware of Tina Turner’s career prior to the 80s, do yourselves a favour and look for videos of when she first made it big.

In the 60s, it wasn’t the Beatles or the Stones or James Brown who put on the best show.

It was Tina Turner.

When I say Tina Turner was more important than Elvis, I’m not kidding. She wasknown as the Queen of Rock N’ Roll for a reason, and that’s because she didn’t just slay with her vocal abilities but with her incredible energy too.

Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about.

@atomicpoet @Deglassco the 80s was a comeback? #TIL

@atomicpoet Indeed. It was there from the beginning. Listen to the old stuff of her performing with Ike Turner. Ike was the star, right? The big name. But her performances shine much brighter than his. What's actually on the record is Tina Turner and some guy playing worn-out guitar licks.
