Looking Back At Tina Turner's Incredible Australian Moments

[@GaryLaaks1]

Tina was massive in South Africa too. So was Mad Max. I think any nation that listened to rock and roll loved Tina too. She was so good and loveable and her natural energy on stage was felt deep in your soul. Rip beautiful lady.

[@glennsolomon4414]

No one cares about South Africa!

[@edmundsishange3608]

Very true, she was big in South Africa, KY aunt saw her at the Joburg Colosseum in 1979. She was actually very huge internationally outside of the US

[@jbmeetmevip]

We had her for a moment in time and in that moment in time she changed our lives and I'm happy that Australia was her favorite place

[@carolinegodden4364]

I agree 👍. I love Tina. The one song, I never liked, yet now appreciate, as I now know the significance of the subject matter, is... Nutbush.

[@Rev1960-i2r]

Me too. 🎉

[@jean405]

I bumped to Nutbush, every Friday and Saturday night, great memories🙏🌸

Tina Turner refused to sing to a White's only audience in Apartheid South Africa. She got her way and returned in 1996 to a free country. Amazing.

beautifulcrazy Back in the days when the Australian Ruby Union refused to play against South Africa.

[@Necroleaf12]

Rest in peace and in power Tina! You’ll always be the best!

That song in Mad Max 3 Really cemented the Mad Max trilogy of the time. Something special about that song and Era that you will never forget. Her songs really related to Australia, for some reason her music just seemed Australian.

[@wayneturner8575]

On paper Tina Turner & rugby league together should never have worked. In reality it was simply the best,better than all the rest. RIP Tina Turner 😪

[@patriciarose6371]

TINA WAS SIMPLY THE BEST ..Australia loved her , and always will ! Beyond any epitaph that was used about her, spectacular, humble, a one off, Australians took her to our hearts and there she stays and always will.

[@jarrodtroy695]

[@stuuuporman]

TINA, the Queen of Rock & Roll 🎶🔥🎵...Simply the best female musical performer in the world🏆 R.I.P.❤🌹❤

[@ianmaher4348]

During her forgotten years, Tina used to come to Sydney to tour the club scene which was a lifeline for many artists that were no longer hot. She would spend several months here every year.

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

Tina was always hot!!! Get real

[@edmundsishange3608]

By no longer hot he means the time when she had no hits, just after her divorce when record companies were not interested in her, the years leading up to her amazing comeback

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Gone but never will be forgotten and her amazing voice, Tina’s music and her beautiful soul will live in our hearts 💞 Great vid with lots of really interesting info - Thanks 😊

[@ellamaeloftus3493]

Great lady

[@AussieAngel826]

We love you Tina 🩵

[@karenstrong8887]

I remember the first Ad and I was in awe that Tina was doing it. Australia loved her dearly and Roger Davies restarted her second career when America didn’t want to know. A bit like John Farnham but America and Australia were wrong with him. I have family who last year broke our own Nutbush record at the Big Red Bash. I think they are ready to double the amount of dancers. Tina’s light will always shine and she never signed a contract with Roger.

Rest in peace Tina Turner You where the LIVING HERO FROM THE THUNDER DOME

[@carolinegodden4364]

Thanks, I saw that also and had completely forgotten. It was amazing!!! I'm in Melbourne

[@sheilamer5776]

All of the clips feature in this are ripped from KZbin. Did Channel 10 burn down their video archives or something?

[@RodrickColbert]

WOW! As an African-American, I am so surprised that she was so famous in Australia. Here in the US, she was very well-liked but not on that status.

[@edmundsishange3608]

Not just Australia, she was a massive international artist, she enjoyed massive popularity pretty much everywhere outside of the US, I'm from South Africa and she was very very big here.

[@Jewruntheworld]

Tina was a superstar internationally Europe and Australia were her biggest markets

[@maximummilitiaimmaculataem883]

This is a great example of how Australia is fair - it is not inherently racist… BUT their are factions in this country that are trying to divide and meddle with our politics

[@beatriceowusuachaw6210]

May she rest in peace

[@Rev1960-i2r]

Get out there to Birdsville The Project.

Mad Max was hardly a cult flick. Go find a dictionary.

After living in England for a couple of years and went to a big pub lounge to hear a group called Keystone Angles (The Angles) and at the end of the bracket there was an announcement it was Nutbush Time and there was a stampede to the Dance Floor sat there wondering what the "F" then I heard the start of Nutbush City and had never seen anything like that before in Australia - In America they had all these dances for different songs but never in Australia and the incredible thing was how it spread Australia wide. after living in England for a couple of years and went to a big pub lounge to hear a group called Keystone Angles (The Angles) at the end of the bracket there was an announcement it was Nutbush Time and there was a stampede to the Dance Floor sat there wondering what the "F" then I heard the start of Nutbush City and had never seen anything like that before in Australia - In America they had all these dances for different songs but never in Australia and the incredible thing was how it spread Australia wide.
