Tina Turner on The Today Show - 1986 (FULL)

" I won't turn to salt". And by golly she didn't. It's not a very good quality but still very enjoyable. Tina Turner sits with Rona Elliot for a three-part interview for NBC's Today Show in 1986 while promoting her BER album.

Love this woman, legend, and Icon. Rona is a great interviewer. I like her interviews with artists. You can tell Tina is fond of all the rock and roll male artists including Bryan Adams 1:41

[@kamariatoure42]

Who wouldn't love Bryan Adams and at that time he was a young Thing, too. That duet they did together it was so Steamy

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I've never seen the entire interview...not even in 1986. I like/love her even more now since seeing the full interview...Rona Elliot really shows how interviews should be done...she always seems to have a good rapport with her subjects.

I love all kinds of music, especially from the 80s era. As a black woman, I totally have always felt like Tina says about Rock music. I love it and the energy it gives. I love to hear the vocal ranges and the instrument arrangements in this type of music, especially from the 80s and decades previous. I loved her as a kid back in the 80s because like her, I listened to music outside of what was typical (nothing wrong with "typical" at all, I love it) for some black people. My mom played us a variety of music as kids and we were allowed to listen to all kinds of music. But I connected to her on levels as a kid and innately have many of the same views/philosophy about a lot of things as she did. Oh and of course she and I have the same Sun sign so lol. Tina Turner always stood out to me and I was instantly a fan of the "80s Tina" (because I am an 80s kid). I never got to personally meet her as I'd would have loved to. I got to meet, dance, take pictures and talk with Tim Capello (her saxophonist, also in "The Lost Boys"), we got to sit down and talk, he was amazing and oh so kind. As I became an adult I realized Tina was on top of her game when my grandmother was a teenager! I realized at that point this woman was a Rock Goddess and truly a Legend!

Tina is so beautiful

[@layyjl7478]

I hate to hear her say that she (in so many words) didn’t like how she looked. She was such a pretty lady…her soul and personality made her even more beautiful. I’m just so sad that she’s gone. I was supposed to meet her before she left this earth….

Wait. Her hair fell out because she was trying to dye her hair BLUE? In 1960?? Always a trailblazer!

[@jamesjenner3770]

I give her credit for being a survivor but she was just as tough as Ike .she chose to stay with him.i wouldn't have said that 20 years ago but I've seen rare interviews with them and she was pretty tough.

[@kamariatoure42]

Of course she's as tough as Ike.. actually she's tougher than Ike because she didn't give into drugs and alcohol the way he did. She dealt with her problems. However she is still a woman and she deserves to be treated like a lady. He treated her like a dog!

[@garfieldharrison510]

That was a stupid question . Black music is Blues and Rock Music. It belongs to Black music. White people think they own Rock music. The Queen is doing what her people developed and founded through Blues. Yes, its depressing ,because its called the Blues. Its expression.

[@carmenmonroe7]

Well... Rock stemmed from Blues (Rhythm and Blues), as well as the evolution to what we refer to as R&B. Lots of "Rock Stars", especially from the 80s era and before, will mention and tribute to the roots and acknowledge where it came from. It's fact whether it is acknowledged or not. Just like Rap stemmed from Hip Hop. It's not exactly the same but it has roots in the previous style and are similar. Like Rap from Hip Hop, from the Blues we get Rock (Rock and Roll, Classic Rock, Soft Rock and Rock Ballads etc.), and from Rock we get Alternative Rock, Grunge, Metal, Heavy Metal etc. It's a beautiful connection, although many things were done unfairly in the music industry to minority artists back then, and here lies the "confusion". But that's another story... Sound belongs to Spirit and is gifted to us. We put limitations on who should sing what or who should listen to what...so trivial. We should enjoy the gift of music not make it an issue. Humans...

[@08CARIB]

Her comment on black audiences seems true,... she wanted to look like Barbra Streisand on stage in gowns....took her a long time to like herself

[@boastenandbraggin3947]

I love Tina but I wouldn't consider "what's love got to do with it", "I don't want to fight" and lots of other songs she's put out as fun songs. Majority of the songs she sang with Ike were about being in love and sex. I think those songs were more fun.

[@MickeyDs14]

I Don’t Want To Fight was for the movie soundtrack, though. And she didn’t like What’s Love Got To Do With It, when it was brought to her. The label said it would be successful, so she did it. But they had to change stuff around in the studio. As someone who loves her music with Ike, a lot of it was kind of derivative blues. If he never did drugs and listened to Tina when she was trying to get him to do the stuff that The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc were singing, they would have much more of a cohesive catalogue. As great as a lot of the songs are, a lot of them are also kind of forgettable.

so she needs to sing about pain and crying to get black people back??

[@true1evanique]

Tina Turner is from the old school of having to sing blues and R&B. A lot of it was painful to her because she realized that she was singing about her sadistic 'Ikes music' life situation. Blacks did not gravitate towards Tina. It was the white audience that supported her to live before she even made a comeback.

[@mrbrownroyyal]

There isnt an answer to your question that you'd understand because you're listening to what she said but not hearing her. She wasnt saying that at all. Sigh.

[@kamariatoure42]

I don't care about that I love Tina unconditionally and obviously we should be able to understand why she has those issues she has with her race. All she ever knew was pain abuse and abandonment starting from her parents on down... people handle trauma differently and we should all go where we are comfortable and happy
