[@emaclin4054]

What I got from this interview is that YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE TO BE!! She was MEANT to be GREAT!!! Follow your dreams.

[@rebeccagandi5258]

Very interesting

[@sufundasamuels2313]

I totally agree with you about that, because the kind of raw energy Ms. Tina had could not be contained.....just a huge ball of energy and she will always be fire!

Man! Tina's classmates looking good like Tina did in their late 70's 80's!

[@goldenlady1213]

Really enjoyed this interview with Julia and Annie. Just wish that arrangements would have been made so that Tina could have walked out to surprise the sisters. Priceless !!!!!!

[@memorymalunga670]

Tina took some very beautiful pictures. She was very beautiful and photogenic.🔥🔥

[@jennifer742011]

This is amazing to talk to her child hood friends she has been simply the best

[@janettawallace3722]

Tina was always Simply the Best. She is missed. Good hearing her Playmates talk about their good old days in school and outside of school. Those were the good ole days.👍😍😍😍

[@marjorjorietillman856]

Tina’s classmates had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD, because they had so many good stories about Tina!! And I love that even though they said Tina liked singing and doing enjoyable things, they agreed that she was always nice! The story about Tina and the cheerleader story was so cute! I throughly enjoyed this interview!!!❤

[@zandrathomas9170]

Memories 👍

[@runnyhunny786]

The young black and white picture of Tina at 12.30 ( also some other images of Tina as well ) looks very much like a New Zealand Maori lady I once knew and also worked with. She ( Maria ) sadly passed away about eight years ago now. It never occured to me how much Maria had a likeness to Tina Turner until only recently I have been watching Tina Turner clips in memory of her due to her sad recent passing. Some images of Tina - like the one in this clip - hit me with amazement when I saw the striking resemblance to Maria. Maria was also a strong yet lovely natured personality like Tina and I got along well with her when I knew her. I worked alongside her for about a year back in my hometown in Australia. Then I decided to leave the job to move to another town I had been wanting to spend time in. I was aware that Maria had some kind of cancer health issue, but she was getting treatment done and I had some confidence that she would beat her cancer because of how medical treatments are supposedly getting better and more effective every year. Sadly, this was not the case for Maria when I found out she had passed away from it a few years later. As I had not gotten close with her immediate family members or use Facebook and other social medias, I did not become made aware when Maria passed ( as I was now working in another distant town with new distractions ) and not keeping up to date with where I previously lived and worked. So when I did eventually learn of her passing it hit me with shock as I had always thought she would beat her illness because she appeared otherwise quite strong and well. When I returned back to the town I had worked with Maria, I asked a couple of fellow acquaintances of Maria that I knew if they knew where she was buried. I wondered if maybe she got sent back to New Zealand, her original home country or maybe buried in the town where she last lived and worked - also my own home town. I didn't end up finding out for sure as the acquaintances I asked were not too sure themselves as they said they were also away and out of touch with things when it occured. Regardless of this - I eventually ( and spookily ) found Maria's place of burial a bit later on - by accident. I was attending the funeral of a nephew I had sadly lost and when standing around at the cemetary for the burial part of the service - I stood in one particular spot listening to the service. I had been standing there for a good half an hour roughly when I just randomly turned around to look at a couple of graves that were right behind me. There it was - a big grave stone with Maria Taylor's name on it ( her full married name ). I felt like lightning had struck me when I saw it. I wondered if perhaps she had led me there as maybe she was aware I ( from the spirit realm ) was searching for where she had been buried ! Now I finally knew ! R.I.P my friend Maria and my nephew that played a role in my finding her - and R.I.P Tina Turner. ✝️🥀🥀🥀❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊

Cute stories

[@kamillion111977]

Amazing ladies and amazing stories! It's a shame Tina hasn't reconnected with them! I love her but sometimes I think she completely wants to forget her roots. Honestly I'm really surprised she restored her old school especially since she has no desire to return to Tennessee.

[@dannyray9375]

She has a new life now! Tina will never forget her roots because her roots are always with her--no matter where she is now!

[@edmundsishange3608]

What a silly comment. How many people have not reconnected with their schoolmates, some you even forget, she's been out of school for more than 60 years. So she should not renovate her old school if she doesn't intending returning to the US? What nonsense is that? She is a citizen of another country, has lived in it for almost 30 years and is very happy there.

[@SyriusStarMultimedia]

If you ever escape somewhere you do not want to be let us know how soon you go back. Please try to remember that she grew up in the Jim Crow south. Not Beverly Hills

[@sasaboo4758]

Good question 🤔

[@momoftwins8440]

That's a shame thise ladies didn't to see her. I wonder what the tesnsion was when her classmate did get to talk to her? I wonder if Tina wanted to put the bad memories of Nutbush behind her? It sounds like Ike was similar to her father.

[@susanbowe8689]

No wonder Tina wanted to move out of Nutbush. I would definitely have, we're not the same really

Okay first of all, The beatings got worse as he started using cocaine. Secondly Ike was fairly abusive to his women and she knew this but somewhere in her heart she loved Ike and wanted to help him. So he did hit her. That doesn’t mean she never fought back. But Ike indeed did hit her..
