Aside from the massive amounts of talent and style, she was always sheer class, on and off stage. She may be gone, but she has legendary status which will never die.

[@sandraperkins203]

Well said RIP Tina❤

[@laurab9867]

... Thank you for saying that... my words exactly. She came from nothing and became a legend. And yes, she did it with CLASS all the way.

She was 77 in this interview. That's insane. The flawless skin, the dance moves, the vibrancy. A classy and incredible woman.

Sinatra did it his way too. O well. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Hebrews 9:27!

In 1973 I heard and bought the Nutbush city limits album I was 22 years old and followed her music throughout my life which helped me in good and bad times. In the interview here we never heard her utter a bad word about Ike, she was a lady of humility and compassion and a model for humanity. She will be sadly missed but NEVER forgotten. We love you Tina.

[@jarrodbutts716]

I refuse to accept that she's gone. She was - is - a beautiful soul. Pure class. She's alive. But in another world. You are loved, Queen.

[@kerryholland4822]

She did a version of 'He Lives in You' from the Lion King - feels fitting to how her legacy will live on

Everyone, famous or not, will always be alive. If you are Born Again, Saved by Jesus Christ, you will eternally in heaven. If you are not, your eternity will be eternally in hell! Choose Life, choose Jesus! Time is very short! Maranatha!

Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you! 🤗 0:22

[@MrBlackhibee]

A highly intelligent, fascinating and brilliant performer. I've watched her interviewed several times, she was a remarkable woman and talented in so many ways, not just as a singer, but as a brilliant speaker as well. Her fight through adversity and how she came through Ike's abuse of her is legendary. RIP Tina, millions around the world will miss you, your music and what you stood for.

[@MsG55580]

Tina was the epitome of living to the fullest! An extraordinary American Black woman who took hold of unending possibilities to become a multicultural ICON.

[@zumbadiva99]

Tina was and will always be "Simply the Best", she really really was an amazing woman.....may she RIP... 💗

[@silviapavani-devisser1150]

[@ziggytonumaa]

This clip moved me to tears of joy, because she is just so lovely, humble and graceful 😌

Many who've met her said the same thing

[@Biboche23]

Even old interviews over the last 50 yrs you watch she’s always been this humble just sweet always humble a smile even when she talks about ike she never trashes him but stays truthful about everything that happened. She was definitely a fighter and had to go through a lot to get to where she did❤

[@joannbrooker9282]

Tina Turner has earned her rest and her wings. I've loved her all of my life. What a blessing we have lived in the time of Tina Turner - blessed to have witnessed her musical gifts and loving spirit.

[@jetodessa5484]

Pure class, pure talent, pure humility and I've no doubt you saved many women with your story. God bless you Tina, you're one of a kind and we will forever miss you.

[@northernreflections4653]

Given her health issues I truly hope that she was able to enjoy her retirement years at home with her husband. A rest well deserved…RIP 🙏

[@edmundsishange3608]

She did enjoy it for about 5 years then the health woes began

[@mroosie7488]

She had such Grace and a quiet dignity, yet at the same time she was this powerhouse. I don’t think we will ever see the likes of Tina again. I’m beyond upset that she has passed away

[@lettiegrant9447]

Her death hit everybody hard. Not many stars have that affect on people.

[@lavenberry]

Tina Turner was always smiling. Regardless of the topic, good or bad, she always smiled. She appreciated all of the adulation she received and never let it get to her head. She is one of a kind. Distinctive in voice, looks, performance, everything. She is the best.

[@laurab9867]

Yes! I couldn't have said it better. So special. ❤️

[@stonew1927]

Nowadays young people say "legend" every time a person does something they admire. They have no real concept of what legend really means. Tina embodies that word as well or better than anyone else. Rest in Love. You'll be missed . . .

[@SwingRiots]

Standing ovation just for showing up ❤ icon

[@corkboy4523]

She was an all round class act!

[@Za7a7aZ]

Such good people who are willing to take Tina under their wings and help her elevate to the stardom she wish to be and deserve to be. The world has a serious empty space now she has departed...for sure she will be welcomed by people familiar to her and live on.

[@debsmann9218]

😩 such a lovely tribute Jonathan 😘 an amazing talented lady. Wish I’d of seen her in concert 🥲

[@jmatt4life]

I’m still in a saddened shock but fully understand that we are not eternal, no one. Despise my lack of opportunity to see her perform. I am grateful that her genuine persona and remarkable talent and artistry are ETERNALLY CAPTURED on video for posterity. She will continue to provide humanity with moments of happiness and joy, sprinkled with gems of wisdom. Thank you, Ms. Tina!

[@hotgritz4sho]

This was a brilliant interview. The host was in many ways for more respectful and kind than many American TV show hosts.

[@HouseMusicAllNightLong]

I agree. I'm not normally a big fan of JR but he handled this interview well.

[@michaelmarama-de4gx]

Maybe apart from Oprah the rest of American talk show hosts are artificial and as fake as my grandpa's false tooth

[@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024]

I don’t like how he asked her about Ike. I wish he didn’t ask her.

[@rich-ard-style6996]

The Ike story is the inly thing that many hosts hammered on as if she hadn't over come that life for decades alreadyz. She met Erwin Bach in 1986 in Germany when he picked her up with his companies car. And they lived together fir 27 years and were married fir 10 years. So 37 years happiness with Erwin Bach and all they talk is about a marriage that had decades decades decades died before. Why do people need that old story, why do they hold on to that? Tina has walked on long ago and has gotten all she wanted on her own due to her struggles and incredible talent and strength and hard hard work without any drugs or alcohol, as she said proudly when she received an award.

[@mandymarshall9220]

She is one of the most real people of music.....beautiful inside and out. Love her. ❤ RIP TT.

[@Mark-zx9gg]

She’s an icon. I’m 42 years of age and there aren’t many left. Cher? Kylie? Elton? Madonna? I’m just glad that I’ve been alive to witness them. Popular music these days will never create icons such as these. It’s very sad.

Tina had the most lovely husband. How many men would give their wife one of their kidneys? I'm sure they're both glad they eventually married. Oprah said she married for security. She was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) singer in Europe. She didn't need to marry for security. She loved that man from 1st sight but she was hesitant due to her previous abusive marriage. This was a lovely interview. Jonathan was so kind to her.
