Ahhhh!!!!! You got my, We Don't Need Another Hero!! All the Children SANG!! LOL!

My favorite of hers is, Better Be Good To Me!!! Private Dancer was a BAD ASS album!! What's sad is that I don't know how a woman her age could make the same kind of come back these days. Grown sexy women seem to be a thing of the past versus grown surgically enhanced women trying to keep their sexy or pre-adolescent girls singing about things they have no business knowing anything about.

Oh let me also say that I've always had a strange fascination with the backup dancers in the, Let's Stay together video. That video is a great bridge between the 70's disco and 80's Pop. The sistah on the right though looks like a guy in drag. Knowing Tina, it wouldn't surprise me if it was. Love it!

I had my first woman crush on Tina. I wanted to go to The Loop in Chicago to see her in the 70's.
My burb Mom said, "NO WAY" It is too dangerous!
My all time fave is Proud Mary, when she was with Ike but we all know how that turned out.
I read an interview with her. She made a comment she never did any vulgar moves. She always moves "Side to Side" Think about it and watch videos. She is true to her word.
A class act!
I went to a Concert about 10 years ago and for a woman her age?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
I would kill to have legs like her!
