Janis Joplin talk Tina Turner

Janis says- Tina’s the show…

“She’s the best chick ever, fantastic singer, great dancer…fantastic show”. Janis couldn’t have been more right.

What an incredible memorable moment in Rock history. One Rock queen talking about the other one.

Ike and Tina Turner were a musical duo, and also husband and wife. The duo was considered, “one of the hottest, most durable, and potentially most explosive of all R&B ensembles”. For 16 years, these two brought something to the stage unlike anyone else.

Their later works were noted for wildly interpretive re-arrangements of rock songs such as “I Want to Take You Higher” and “Proud Mary“, the latter song for which they won a Grammy Award. They’re also known for their often-ribald live performances, which were only matched by that of James Brown and the Famous Flames in terms of musical spectacle.

The duo was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in ’91.
