Tina Turner Dead at 83
- Thread starter TheBigA
- Start date
During our show today, we aired approximately an hour’s worth of her music, while also sharing some lesser-known facts about her.
Can we relisten to it somewhere?
My memory of the year was not off... I just can't identify the song.
In '61 I was 14 years old, and in High School. In 1971, I was 24 and GM of San' Juan, Puerto Rico's #1 radio station, WUNO. No memory loss there!
Unfortunately, we didn’t record the show. We still have issues with the primary computer.
So it wasn't any of the ones I posted?
Radio stations were quick to honor Tina Turner by playing her music:

BTW The DMCA has a rule that limits the number of plays by a single artist to four in any 3-hour period.
Tina Turner’s Radio Airplay Spikes Nearly 700% Following News Of Iconic Singer’s Death.
The death of Tina Turner this week set radio programmers in action to pay tribute to the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” whose career spanned from the early 1960s to

What rule is that?
Here's more on Tina's health problems, and her husband donating his own kidney to her. Tina Turner's husband donated an organ to save her because 'he didn't want another woman'.
60 Minutes Australia rebroadcasts a segment first seen in 1993 about Tina Turner.
Here is one of Tina Turner's best song at her peak.
SiriusXM, which is on for free for Memorial
Day, is doing a Tina Turner tribute on the Soul Town channel today. I was listening earlier and it was a mix of all the different eras of her music and not just the hits.

BTW they had to apply for a waiver from the record labels involved to get exempt from the normal music rules.
What I remember about her is that she also retired on her own terms. I have heard DJs play her over the last several years, along with comments like "she has retired now, so if you want to see her perform 'live,' you will have to watch your DVDs of her." She never performed anywhere near me, at least in recent years, so I would have had no first-hand knowledge of that. I was told that she officially retired in 2017, and it is possible that her retirement may have been due to her failing health in recent years.
You must be near me in age. Until her comeback, I largely associated "Nutbush City Limits" with Bob Seger's cover version on Live Bullet. Obviously I knew from reading the credits on the album that she had written it, but I knew very little about her at the time.
Interesting that on Seger's version, he referred to "highway 19" as "U.S. 19," which indeed IS in Tennessee, but is way up there at the opposite end of our state up there in east Tennessee, nowhere near Nutbush!
I may be a little older but I'm probably younger mentally than I am physically.
I honestly didn't know about Seger's version of Nutbush City Limits. The highway through Nutbush is actually TN state Highway 19. I've been through it a ton of times going between Jackson or Alamo to Ripley for work. All that is there now are a country store, a cotton gin, a few churches, and signs at the edge of the community that say Home of Tina Turner.

BTW Seger did that song on the Beautiful Loser album, which was recorded in Muscle Shoals Al, about 2 hours from Nutbush.
Not sure if Seger recorded it because his proximity, or because he just liked the song. Tina recorded her version in LA.
That (still) seems to be just about the way that she described it in the song. I have been to, and through, so many rural towns in west TN, but interestingly enough, I have never been to Nutbush.I honestly didn't know about Seger's version of Nutbush City Limits.

I still have Beautiful Loser on cassette around here somewhere, but obviously not nearly enough liner notes on a cassette to be able to determine all of that information. I knew that it was his most recent new album at the time of the Live Bullet concerts. I recently hooked my cassette boombox to the stereo system so that I could play cassettes on the stereo. May have to dig that one out and listen to it again.
Heard that one earlier today on Good Time Oldies. I know they play Ike and Tina's version but I haven't been listening lately when they have played it. I do like Ike on that song.
