Tina Turner Songstress Rip

     Tina, I saw you perform in Oakland, CA,yes, long ago.
      But God has chosen to  bring you to His eternal home today.
      You, Hall and Oates, Huey Lewis and the News were all part of 
      a magical, music show.
      I feel, in heaven the Angels will shout a welcoming hooray!

     How beyond grateful, I was to see you sing, dance and play.
     My daughter had to stop me from dancing in the aisles.
     I just was so moved, I jumped up to dance, all smiles
     Your son left this planet in the year 2018~ how you cried!
     Not tonight, you can swing on silver stars, side by side.


                           **********************

Sand Blown Date: 5/25/2023 1:11:00 PM ...tina's open honest self-presentation always stunned me....from early on her style was that of a genuinely civilized human being whose stage appearances were like opportunities to teach audiences a wisdom......loved her.......stan Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/25/2023 1:37:00 PM Hi Stan! Golly, so glad to see you again! I hope things are going well for you ! Your comment is astonishingly awesome. In life, I am blown away by people who are direct and whole, I loathe phonies. Tina was not that. It’s a joy to be with people who are not fakes, They are inspirational. Tia left her mark on us all Pangie

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 5/25/2023 12:25:00 PM - She really was a rock queen, Pangie - An incredible voice and sexy lady :) - (I've written one too :) - hugs Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/25/2023 12:55:00 PM Oh, I know your write about her..is phenomenal! After all, she was an international Star. I was telling Ayana, I saw her at 45. She was sexy but not in a sleazy way. I would love to relive that night, because of her and the other musicians present. I loved her wild hair))and killer legs. Phenomenal voice. Pangie xx

I Am Anaya Date: 5/25/2023 11:46:00 AM Tina Turner was raw, powerful, and unstoppable. Unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. The Queen of Rock and Roll. She made a comeback at 40, and with her famous “What’s Love Got To Do With It” Top Hit. My favorite was her version of CCR’s “Proud Mary” a tiny 5`4 and yet they called her an Amazon! Fabulous tribute, Pangie! Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 5/25/2023 4:58:00 PM I wish I would have seen her in concert! Ike had over 19 lawyers, she met him at 16, they married in TJ, she suffering the consequence's. Her biography a must read. Panagiota Romios Date: 5/25/2023 12:46:00 PM She was beautifully herself. Loved her wild hair and powerful voice and songs. The New York Post has tons of stuff about her today! I liked What’s Love Have to Do With It? Didn’t she sing Proud Mary with Mick Jagger in concert!? I saw her when she was 45! Awesome. And now? She is eternal.quite a human star we had. Winners triumph over tragedy. Losers like hurting and destroying the hearts of others. They are pure pretense and don’t really know who they are! You know the difference.)) Love, Pangie

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/24/2023 9:29:00 PM Tina certainly did have quite a 'rip' up the side of her skirts. Tee-hee... Ike gave up on 'soul music' a long time ago, myself. ~ O Rio Kookie Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/25/2023 12:57:00 AM Well G, She had beautiful legs and a soul and boundless energy. She did remarry and has lived in Euruope for the past thirty years performed. With Mick jagger . Is Ike playing at the at the Met? And what’s wrong with her voice? Soul music is its own here,music is its own genre, certainly, not Lawrence Welk))))).Ike went down the pike. Many here too young to know her. Thanks, Pangie

Elena Eagle Date: 5/24/2023 7:51:00 PM Wonderful singer and performer. Great poem. So fun. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/24/2023 8:08:00 PM That combination of Tina, Huey Lewis and Hall and Oates is one of best nights in all my life on earth. N Ess her for all the happy times she brought to us with her talents. She’s a forever star, now. She sang and we clapped and said, wow. What a lovely woman gif took home! Pangie

Beryl Edmonds Date: 5/24/2023 6:24:00 PM Pangie, this is wonderful memorial tribute to the fabulous Tina Turner who was ‘simply the best’ - Tina, queen of the rock n’ roll scene will be sorely missed. I never saw Tina live but went to the musical about her life story, the bad times as well as the good times, it was a fantastic show. Tina will live on forever in our hearts, may Tina and son always swing on those silver stars… Belle Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 5/24/2023 7:15:00 PM How great, Belle, you went to the musical about her life! She said if you can’t do much in a day, at least be kind to someone. To me, that’s a simple but proud truth in this zany world, where it’s all about me. me, me. Famous~good performers live on in our hearts long after their demise. I tried to add some warmth and and hope. Image coming later. Apologies, Pangie

Alexis Y. Date: 5/24/2023 5:36:00 PM Hi Panagiota, You penned a good poem in memory of the “ Queen of Rock And Roll.” I never had a chance to see her live in concert. But I am a fan of her music and who she was as a person. I loved see to her sing and perform on TV. She was a fantastic entertainer. She had style and grace. Excellent job:-) Alexis Login to Reply Alexis Y. Date: 5/24/2023 6:21:00 PM Yes was electrifying. There was none like her. I too wrote a poem in honor of her. Panagiota Romios Date: 5/24/2023 6:03:00 PM Alexis, Good Heavens … I had no idea what to write, oh, I wish you could have seen her…this woman was electric! I will add an image later. I have several.. I was just reading an article by her.Performing for others is a blessing. Glad she lived this long. Just think of how sad her fans are but lots of videos on You Tube for us..who liked her. I am glad she is with her lost son. ,,I thought a good way to end the poem with that thought. She had her own special way. Thank you for visiting… I’m memory of Tina, adieu! Panagiota
