Artist Of The Week...

[Bryan]

Thought we could start a new thing on Soapboards where each week we play tribute to a band or artist that we think deserves recognition, and in turn post 7 of their best songs, one for each day of the week.

If anyone wants to suggest an artist and 7 of their best just PM me and I'll get a list of artists we can feature.

This week's artist is...

TINA TURNER

Quite simply the queen of Rock & Roll. Tina started out in the music buisness performing with husband Ike Turner, where they scored big hits with "River Deep Mountain High" and "Proud Mary".

After years of domestic abuse, Tina divorced Ike and built herself up, making a sucessful comeback as a solo artist in the early eighties. Hit after hit insued, songs such as "What's Love Got To Do With It?", "Private Dancer" and "Steamy Windows" have guaranteed her worldwide fame and recognition. She's even sung themetunes for the James Bond film "Goldeneye", and also sang "We Don't Need Another Hero" for The Mel Gibson film Mad Mad 3, in which she also stared.

Her life story was made into an biopic "What's Love Got To Do With It" in 1993. She is currently touring the word with her 50th Anniversary Tour, celebrating 5 decades in the muisc buisness.

Without a doubt, Tina is "Simply The Best".
