Donovan Marcelle performing with his idol, Tina Turner

In the year 2000, Donovan traveled around the country and saw Tina Turner on her 24/7 tour 21 times.
After Tina seeing him in the audience doing all the steps, singing all the words to every song, she one day surprised everyone and invited him to perform Proud Mary with her in front of a sold out crowd in Dallas, TX at the Reunion Arena on October 28, 2000. To this very day, it is the best day of Donovan's life! Donovan is the only fan that she has invited on stage with her to perform!

The way she runs in those high heals , so effortlessly ! Amazing

[@dee_dee_place]

No Joke! She was 60 yrs old at the time of this concert. And she was still rocking heels on her 76th birthday performance. I laugh, because I couldn't wear my heels anymore by the time I hit 30, so forget about my even being able to move across the stage the way Tina did at 60, holy cow. Like she said, "What set me apart from other girl singers is that I can DANCE", & dance she did. What a Power House. Miss Tina, wherever you are right now, I hope you are dancing & singing with glee. I love you & will miss you. Thank you for everything!

[@gingerscally1678]

I think this is my new favorite video of this. I love that Tina brought her super fan up on stage to dance with her and the team. You know that this was one of the highlights of his life. RIP Tina Turner! You were simply the best!!!!

Fantastic! Tina kept a tight eye on Donovon at the beginning. She looked a little tense a few bars into Proud Mary, as if she was thinking, 'What have I done?' Then she saw him fall right in, hit every move perfectly, and relaxed to concentrate on the song--and having a little dance fun with Donovon! Love it. Be Blessed, Tina. Hoping where you are now, is all Perfection & Light, dancing & singing among the Moon & Stars!

Ms. Turner was such an amazing talent. I say talent because she was more than a singer, actress, producer. This video shows without a question that this woman had heart. She had attained the highest of high stardom and yet she gratefully recognized a superfan. There will never be another performer like Ms. Turner. As for Donovan, dude, you are phenomenal!! I sincerely hope whatever performance goals you have in your life have materialized! You deserve it!!

How nice is it to just see a singer perform with dancers. Video clips are nice but this is special.

Donovan was incredible, knew all the steps and I bet his heart was in his throat the entire time! He kept up with every move his timing was perfect! I felt his excitement right here in my chair. I almost cried, what an honor! What a memory!!!! Donovan you brought down the house with your performance! I applaud your energy and natural talent! Your moves were great. I watch this video slot. I guess bcz I'm handicapped in my legs and I like to watch ppls legs moving like that.
