24 May 23 - 08:51 PM (#4173059) Subject: RE: Obit: Tina Turner From: Stilly River Sage There was a biopic made in 1993 called What's Love Got to Do With It and stared Angela Bassett. I can't think of anyone better to play Tina, but when it came to the singing, it was all Tina. Bassett lip-synced during the concert performances. |

Birdsville's Big Red Bash music festival aims for Nutbush dance record as tribute to Tina Turner Thousands of revellers at one of the world's most remote music festivals on the edge of the Simpson Desert are set to kick up dust in memory of legendary American singer Tina Turner. Since 2016, the foot of a 40-metre-high sand dune in the Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert, in far western Queensland, has been the dancefloor for annual world record Nutbush City Limits attempts. As tributes flow for the "Queen of Rock and Roll", who died this week aged 83, those attending the Birdsville Big Red Bash in July have taken on the challenge to break last year's record of 4,084 boot-scooters dancing to the Nutbush at the same time ... ... "She did see it and acknowledge that, which is fantastic, I mean 4,000 people dancing to your song is something quite special," he said ...

I see that Tina did record it again with another male partner in '93 so I'll have to check that out. Ry Cooder, Duke Levine and Jim Henry all did nice instrumental versions of it. |

Right side, left side, right back, left back, knee, knee, kick, kick — turn and repeat, non-stop for five minutes. That's how 5,838 people danced into the Australian Book of Records at Big Red Bash in Birdsville on Thursday. ... "We’ve gone from 4,084 12 months ago to 5,838.
