Tina Turner

Tina Turner was the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll
 She earned her dues for music's cause
 On stage she played her regal role
 Belting out tunes to thunderous applause

 With hits like "Proud Mary" 
 She had fans screaming in the aisles
 As the big wheel kept turning on the ferry
 On a musical journey of many miles

 She had some rough times with Ike
 But eventually she took freedom's flight
 Her song, "I Don't Wanna Fight, 
 Summed up her feelings on the mic

 Her song, "Whats Love Got To Do With It"
 Described those times well
 Yet she blazed a musical trail that was well lit 
 In her songs her memory will dwell
