Poem
"I've been takin' on a new direction, but I have to say, I've been thinkin' about my own protection, it scares me to feel this way." From Tina Turner's song What's Love Got To Do With It Tina Turner, the singer, the legend, died on May 24, 2023 at her lakeshore home Chateau Algonquin, in Switzerland on the Zurich Lake, it was her home for three decades fans lay flowers, lit candles and left messages of love at the cast-iron gates overcome with grief, she was 83 Tina's humble beginnings, her voice, and her strength would make her beloved the world over and an inspiration she had a swagger, a sexuality, an unstoppable energy wild crazy hair, dancing legs and hips, and gravely voice born, Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 a young girl who sang in the church choir and then, as a teen went to nightclubs with her sister watching Ike Turner she said would put her in a trance one night she was given a microphone and sang and sang all night with Ike and that was the beginning Ike loved her voice and made her his lead singer with his band the Kings of Rhythm and girl group, Ikettes there were tours, albums, hit records, it all seemed wonderful but behind the scene things were not good for Tina Ike was violent, abusive, with an unpredictable temper he hit Tina, raped her, belittled her, instilled fear and never gave her any of the money that she earned this went on until one night after a brutal fight Tina ran with 36 cents in her pocket to a Ramada Hotel she divorced Ike and began her amazing solo career there would hit albums, number 1 hits, world tours, Grammy's, movie roles, induction into the Hall of Fame so much success it is hard to put it all in this poem she lost two sons to death, fought various illnesses for years, but did marry the love of her life, Irwin Bach she had happiness, she had sorrow and she had strength and that is how I will remember this incredible woman a woman who fought to come back from hell and who would inspire the world with her amazing talent, rest in peace, Tina Turner
