Tina Turner means the absolute most to Black women. And very specifically, Black American women.
I pray all the upcoming tributes, in song or in speech, to her will be from Black women.
Beyoncé, Lisa Fischer, Patti LaBelle, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Fantasia, En Vogue, Adrienne Warren, Rachelle Ferrell, Lizzo, Yolanda Adams, Chaka Khan, Syleena Johnson, Shirley Caesar, Valerie Simpson, Ledisi, Toni Braxton, Brandy.
To introduce the artists to sing for her or give a very beautiful speech in her honor:
Angela Bassett, Oprah, Jenifer Lewis, Rae’Ven Larrymore Kelly (she played young Tina in her biopic), Taraji P. Henson, Gayle King, Robbie Montgomery (a former background singer of hers).
To name a few.

The BET Awards may be hip-hop's biggest night, but they couldn't forget about the Queen of Rock.
Patti LaBelle paid tribute to rock icon Tina Turner, who died in May, with a performance at the BET Awards on Sunday night. Taking the stage in a shimmery, black fringe dress, LaBelle sang a lively rendition of the Turner classic "The Best."
"Give it up for Tina Turner," LaBelle said at the start of the performance.
Tumblr media
"I'm trying y'all," she told the studio audience as she briefly improvised.
LaBelle joined the likes of Bia, Coi Leray, Cutty Ranks, Fat Joe, Soulja Boy and The Sugarhill Gang, who took the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles in a star-studded tribute to hip-hop's most significant moments, as curated by Kid Capri.

Throughout her career, Turner's life was one of musical greatness and personal trauma, as she fled an abusive relationship with her musical mentor and first husband, Ike Turner, to achieve unlikely pop stardom in the ’80s with "What’s Love Got to Do With It."
Turner was renowned for her sexy, elastic dance moves on stage – notably influencing Mick Jagger – and she toured relentlessly. Her outing to support her fifth solo album "Private Dancer" played 180 dates in 1984, while subsequent tours filled arenas and stadiums worldwide.
Turner’s talents expanded beyond music. She also worked in films, making an appearance in the big screen version of The Who's rock opera "Tommy" in 1975 and starring with Mel Gibson in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" in 1985.

Media desperation, gullibility and the Tina Turner tribute act that never was
The BBC ignored the slight visual differences between John Ward (left) and Tina Turner… Singer Tina Turner died this week. The following morning John Ward, esteemed eccentric inventor and designer of the Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards including the Cunning Stunt Award, was out shopping when his mobile phone rang from a withheld number. “Warily,” John told me, “I answered it.” It was the…

The Pirate station, Radio Scotland began broadcasting in the dying embers of Hogmanay, 1965.
Radio Scotland was a Scottish pirate radio station which broadcast at various points off the Scottish coast between 1965 and 1967, with a mix of pop music and programmes of Scottish interest. It was conceived of and run by publicity and advertising executive Tommy Shields onboard a former Irish lightship, built on the Clyde, named The Comet. Radio Scotland's first broadcast was at 11:50pm on Hogmanay, 31st December 1965, on 1241 kilohertz, 242 metres.
After refitting for her new role in the Channel Islands she had been towed to a position four miles off Dunbar, in the Firth of Forth. Because of delays during the journey north, the ship didn't arrive at the anchorage until early on 30th December, giving the engineers only a few hours to set up the equipment. It was a frantic race against time but the station just made it on air before midnight, albeit at reduced power and with no opportunity to run tests. The first voice on the new station belonged to DJ Paul Young a former presenter of Scottish Television's Roundup programme who welcomed the listeners. He introduced the managing director Tommy Shields, who went on to detail their plans. Radio Scotland was on the air and open for business. The station also broadcast from water near Troon and Northern Ireland over its one-and-a-half years.
While navigating and planting the boat, crew had to be careful to avoid territorial waters, primarily due to the strict laws imposed on the pirate stations by the government of the day. Featuring everything from “modern” rock’n’roll to ceilidh favourites, the station soon became a sensation across Scotland as well as Ireland and northern England, where the signal was also picked up.
With its audience of one million listeners a week in its prime, Radio Scotland was very close to realising Shield’s dream of becoming a successful independent Scottish station.
Joining English stations such as Radio Caroline, Radio Scotland was the only pirate radio station to be formed north of the Border, and soon took its place amongst the big six pirate stations.
People could join the membership of the station and become Radio Scotland “Clan Members”. As a reward, the Clan had their own show every Saturday where they could send in requests, which, alongside Jack McLaughlin’s ceilidh slot, was one of the most popular programmes broadcast.
The station even had its own fanzine called “242” – named after its frequency. The 242 magazine featured interviews with the biggest stars of the day, including The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Tina Turner, but station managers never quite tempted any of the stars on board the infamous boat.
The pirate station’s theme song was a jaunty wee number sung by folk band The Carrick Folk Four. Finishing off the upbeat ditty were the lines: “Oh Radio Scotland’s playing just for you/So beat the ban, and join the Clan, on station 242.”
Although they received many a plaudit, Radio Scotland was plagued with troubles from the very beginning. A poor signal and periods off-air led to a steep decline in advertising revenue and a frustrated fanbase, while fires on board the vessel and the hazardous North Sea conditions did little to help ease its problems.
In a piece in the Edinburgh Weekly just days after the station was laid to rest, Tony Mark wrote: “The death penalty in this country is supposed to have been abolished, yet here we are mourning the execution of what was surely the sound sensation of both 66’ and 67’ as far as Scotland is concerned.”
Although the station had a short life, as is often the case with such ventures, and was taken off the air in the 60s, Radio Scotland inspired a tribute station, which began broadcasting in the mid 70s.
Radio Scotland International, an independently run pirate station broadcasting to Europe from its base in Holland, started in 1975 and has been going ever since.
For around 20 months his modest little boat made huge waves and pulled Scotland into the "swinging sixties".
The first pic is Tommy Shields unveiling his pirate ship , the last is the stations first DJ Paul Young then, and as "Shug" in the BBC's Still Game.
