The Queen of Rock and Roll has died. Tina Turner passed away on May 24, 2023, at the age of 83. Her music, her talent, and her story will be remembered always. She is in every sense of the word an icon. Thank you Tina for what you meant to millions in your superstar career. Rest in power Anna Mae Bullock from Nutbush, Tennessee. The stars and heavens will hear your song tonight.

80’s music can soothe my soul. The lyrics told a strange story which I am into. From Styx to The Police to Duran Duran to Hall and Oates and so much more. I love the era in which I came of age.
Music changes the mood of everything.
